Visible Period Separators & Order lines

I have a problem. I am addicted to a white background and cant change to another color. But my period separators are black vertical dotted lines and no easily visible to my eyes. I would like to see them more clearly. When i also make an order, it plots horizontal dotted lines and some times i cant easily see them. Some one help me out. i would like to change the color and line style of the period separators and the order lines.

thanks.

my suggestion is not an indicator but try it:

when u have your MT4 open, press F8 to go to Properties.
play around with the colors of Foreground, & Stop levels.

see if that's good enough for u. if not, then perhaps u really need an indicator for this.

i really cant see these lines well! I need an Indi.

What you need is glasses!!!

Anyway for the period separators use the attached ... turn off the 'show period separators' under chart properties and then use this indi with the time set to your pref (and also the line width, colour & style... 'cos I know that you will ask ;-)) )

Will look at the order lines when have more time.

HTH

he he hehe.

HTH. I started seriously using PCs in 1998. Thats when i started coding! After a 5years, i went for a checkup and the doctor realised that i fed good on carrot while young. From that day, i swore never to use glasses, coz i dont like them! I quit real coding last year 2010. Because i needed to devote my time to better but less computer aided business. 6 months back, i dived into trading and now the work here looks extremely profitable but more computer aided. So if i have to get glasses, i will definitely do that but the reason why i am stuck with the white background is that since i am always looking at a PC for at least 7 hrs a day, i want to protect my eyes from getting to that extent of needing glasses.

my thanks for the indi and hope you get some time for the order lines.

But like supremeChaos suggested, i have just realised that the color of my grid lines was pronouncing itself more much than the forground color. So i switched it from Blue to LightSteelBlue and now, i can see well.

but sdo that order indi, may be it will be of great help.

I like your indi so i can set mt4 start of day to my time,
but it's only visable on 1H tf and lower. And so it shows daily, not weekly or monthly..?

Did i miss something? :o

Shaggy.... No it was not designed for higher timeframes but would show on 4hr if you use a value divisible by 4.

square 1... order lines as demanded :-))) attached. (not necessarily attractive code).

Amended slightly to show week and month. Week shows Mondays (not enough time to show when weeks does not start Monday).

HTH

thanks a ton, big thumb up for you bro !!
i've been looking for this quite some time now.
but still, one more question, would it possible only to plot the vlines and not the time label shown below? juz to make my chart look sexy
... cheers

Sorry have no idea how to do that. Think that it is a default MT4 chart thing and cannot be changed .... unless you are into accessing windows functions which unfortunately I am not.

Perhaps someone with better knowledge than me can help out here?

Try turning the background property of the vertical line on:

ObjectSet([object name],OBJPROP_BACK,true);

Hanover... many thanks for that .... it is good when someone knows what they are doing :-)). Must admit that I would not have thought of that in a long time.

Attached amended again for Shaggy

Great! Thanks a lot guys.

Hello my friends, it´s possible?!


I changed my broker and now i have +5 hour difference.
I use the adr indicator (PeterE) and worked well in my previous broker because we had the same hours.

It is possible to insert an option to make the adr indicator of a certain period of 24 hours, inserted by me, just for example 19h - 19h ?

Thank you.

Determination is the key.

Happiness for all

Using the MNVLine2 indicator...

If I want to set the indicator to draw a 24 HR (daily) separator, what should the MTime input be?

Thanks!

Zenith

It plots daily v lines.

mTime is for the offset from 00:00
So mTime set to 8 will give lines at 08:00 every day
also use this to adj for broker time differences.

M.

Got it. Thanks!

Zentih

What should the mHist(ory?) input be? What does this input calculate? Is it calculating number of bars back?

Yes history / bars back
