Is it possible to create templates of the parameter file in the same way that parameter templates work for Plot News? I tried to rename Presets---Spaced Lines to Presets---Spaced LinesJUP and also Presets---Spaced Lines.JUP and then entered JUP and .JUP into the parameter file option when loading the indicator, but it didn't locate the parameter file and defaulted to the settings in the indicator prompt.
This works OK for me here. Please double check the spelling of your file names. The file must reside in ...../experts/files and be named exactly Presets---Spaced Lines.XXX where XXX is the ParameterFile value that you enter. There MUST be a dot (.) between the file name Presets---Spaced Lines and the XXX extension.

If the ParameterFile entry is left blank, the indy looks for a file named Presets---Spaced Lines.TXT

If the nominated file can't be found, it reverts to the parameters entered into the MT4 dialog window.

Spaced Lines v2 indicator works not correctly. The file name isn't read out from options window. Options are read only from file by default when I press reset key. And I haven't understood, whether it is necessary to write full name of file together with .TXT?

If you can not get the parameter file to work, please set

ParameterFile to X

and enter parameters into the dialog box, as shown in the screenshot below.

My apologies the parameter file works fine.

I was creating a file named Presets---Spaced Lines.JUP.txt as opposed to Presets---Spaced Lines.JUP

I didn't realise the file could be read if it wasn't in .txt format.

So everything works fine and I'm very happy, thanks for your efforts hanover.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barabasus, you have to change the extension of the file to be able to access different parameter file templates.

For example Presets---Spaced Lines.txt is the original filename.

If you copy and rename the original file to Presets---Spaced Lines.XXX or Presets---Spaced Lines.QQQ or Presets---Spaced Lines.AAA etc, you have created a new template.

When you load the indicator, you have to input XXX or QQQ or AAA etc into the parameters file input dialog in order to identify the different parameter templates. I hope that helps.

The indy attached to post #38 may have a programming error, namely that no lines are plotted if the StartPrice parameter is set to 0.

The version attached below should fix this error.

hello Hanover
Please i really need you to help me with something am sorry to disturbe your busy shedule
What I want is to add an alert to two indicators I want to add to my chart. They are i-regr&am and cycleidentifier. The first one is a channel indicator which appears on the main chat while the other appears below. I want an alert that will notify me when the price touches the upper bar(red) and the lower bar (green) a pop up alert that will say (i-regr BUY EURUSD ON 30 min at 15.00) when it touches the upper bar red and (i-regr SELL EURUSD ON 30min at 15.00) when it touches the lower bar green.
Same thing to the cycleidentifier when the tick bars appear below the ones I have marked with black square box. A pop up alert saying (CYCLEIDENTIFIER BUY EURUSD ON 30 min at 15.00) and (CYCLEIDENTIFIER SELL EURUSD ON 30min at 15.00)
Attached to this mail is a screenshot of what am saying for better understanding and also a copy of the two indicators is also attached. Please I will appreciate it if the alert appears on every currency pair and all time frames.

hello Hanover.......
I'm sorry, I'm not taking on any more 'outside' programming projects at the moment, even if people offer to pay an hourly rate. I get anything up to 20 PMs each week, and it's no longer possible to keep up with the demand. Moreover, I need to spend some time attending to family duties, and also practising my trading.

You might like to try posting in one of the following threads:

I hope that you can find somebody to do the work.

Does anybody have fully working verison of Spaced Lines v2. I have download it several times and the parameter file still does not work. I have read all posts and step by step instructions with no luck. It will only save approx 25 lines at a time instead of up to 100. Would be greatfull if someone could post their working verison. Thank you

Not sure what you mean by "It will only save approx 25 lines at a time instead of up to 100."

Please explain exactly what lines you'd like plotted, and I'll create and post a suitable parameter file for you.

The latest versions of both Spaced Lines indicators are attached.

Thank you for the reply. I think your indicator is fantastic and exactly what I need. I downloaded v2 again from your latest post. Apply my 96 calculations to the indicator and as it plots the whole 96 lines perfect (every time) but when I shut down MT4 and open up MT4 again their only approx 25 lines left showing. Don't know if is my platform or computer at fault. It would be nice if the parameter file would work but not a necessity. Here are some numbers that I add to your indicator and thank you again
0 , 49.66 , 99.32 , 148.98 , 198.64 , 248.30 , 297.96 , 347.62 , 397.28 , 447.94 , 498.60 , 549.26 , 599.93 , 650.59 , 701.25 , 751.91 , 802.57 , 854.23 , 905.89 , 957.55 , 1009.21 , 1060.87 , 1112.53 , 1164.19 , 1215.85 , 1268.51 , 1321.17 , 1373.83 , 1426.49 , 1479.15 , 1531.81 , 1584.47 , 1637.13 , 1690.79 , 1744.46 , 1798.12 , 1851.78 , 1905.44 , 1959.10 , 2012.76 , 2066.42 , 2121.08 , 2175.74 , 2230.40 , 2285.06 , 2339.72 , 2394.38 , 2449.04 , 2503.70 , 2559.36 , 2615.02 , 2670.68 , 2726.34 , 2782.00 , 2837.66 , 2893.32 , 2948.99 , 3005.65 , 3062.31 , 3118.97 , 3175.63 , 3232.29 , 3288.95 , 3349.11 , 3402.27 , 3459.93 , 3517.59 , 3575.25 , 3632.91 , 3690.57 , 3748.23 , 3805.89 , 3863.55 , 3922.21 , 3980.87 , 4039.53 , 4098.19 , 4156.85 , 4215.52 , 4274.18 , 4332.84 , 4392.50 , 4452.16 , 4511.82 , 4571.48 , 4631.14 , 4690.80 , 4750.46 , 4810.12 , 4870.78 , 4931.44 , 4992.10 , 5052.76 , 5113.42 , 5174.08 , 5234.74 ,

Thank you for the reply.......
Try the following. It seems to work on my computer.

Download and unzip the attached parameter file into your ...../experts/files folder.

Then attach the Spaced Lines v2 indy to your chart. Because the parameter file (inside the zip file) is named Presets---Spaced Lines.D, simply set the ParameterFile value to D, and the indy will use the parameters from the file.

I'm assuming that your zero point is the current price, which is why I've set StartPrice = 0 (in the parameter file). Every time you refresh the indy (by switching between timeframes on your chart, for example), the indy will redraw itself, using the new current price as the zero point, and drawing lines 49.66, 99.32, etc pips above that point.

If you want to set a fixed level as your zero point (e.g. 85.10 for USDJPY), then load the parameter file into Notepad, change StartPrice = 85.10, save the file, and refresh the indy.

If you need different fixed levels for different pairs, simply create multiple parameter files named (for example) Presets---Spaced Lines.D1, Presets---Spaced Lines.D2, etc, with the required values, using the attached file as a template. Then set the ParameterFile = D1, D2, etc when attaching each instance of the indicator to the various charts.

I don't know why the number of lines would reduce from 100 to 25, upon restarting MT4. If you refresh the indy, it should re-read the parameter file and re-plot the lines.

Thanks Hanover,
You are brilliant it works like a dream. It's the file! When I was saving a file before from notepad it was a txt file and the indy could not read it. I do not know what type of file I have now but I do understand how to use it as template and make other files. Before because my preset file was not working. I was loading all the numbers into the indy and that's where it would show all the lines until I shut down MT4 and only approx 25 lines on opening it. This indy is a real time saver.
I can't believe it working, absolutely fantastic and I can thank you enough.
If you are interested I have an idea with vertical lines. (no pressure, I know you are very busy)
I am very happy just with Spaced Lines.


I Hope many pips come your way! Thanks

For the sake of open-ended completeness, the timeframes are now selectable.
Could you find the time to do the same thing on another existing pivot indi that i have? It has a build in select for y, m, w, d pivots.
What i want is that year pivots are visual on weekly and daily tf's, monthly pivots for 4h, weekly for 1h/30m, daily for 15m/5m

If the pivot lines are objects, then it's possible to make the change. If they are plotted as an indicator buffer, then it's not.

I really like the potential of this THV SDX-SweetSpots v4. but, I either donīt know how to use it or,.....the problems is that it uses the last 2 digits to define the level of the line, but in the popular 5 digit quotes nowadays...well...it does not work. It should be able to read the last 3 digits, right?

thanks,
