Add Multiple Horizontal Lines Fixed To Each Other But Movable As A Set?

Hi,

Just a simple question, I know that in the MT4 the software I am using, I can insert horizontal lines.. but I want to insert 2 or more horizontal lines as a set, and if I move one, the others follows.

More details: the horizontal lines are 3 pips apart, and if I move the horizontal lines, all will move together.

Please help. thanks in advance...

I'm not sure if there is a MT4 indi to do what you want so I leave that for someone else to answer. But you can try setting you fibs to the desired levels you want and move them around as one.

MT4 has a toolbar button for Equidistant Channel. You can add it to the toolbar and play around with that. Works for me.

Try this,

HTH

I've used the equidistant thing, actually I failed at first because when I placed it on the chart, I didn't click and drag, so I didn't see anything..

LOL, thanks again. and thanks specs, I've input it but it couldn't be dragged together, even after I refreshed it.

OK, I have stopped using the Equidistant thingy because I need more than 2 lines... but i've started using the Fibo thingy, only now the "levels" are not accurate to the graph.

I'll keep on trying...

If you select the black line and move that then the others will move with it!
You can set your own number of lines ( mLines).
And the width apart (mSpace = 3)

HTH

thanks spec, i've tried it again, yes it does follow the lines.. but another thing is I need is lines with different width between each other.

Line 1 is 3pips from Line 2 : Achieved by your indicator
Line 2 is 10pips from Line 3 : Can't happen
etc...

I've used the Fibo thingy but it's inaccurate, always changing the pips value.

And I'm back with 2 lines on Equidistant with 2 lines..

Anyone else can help?

You originally said...

"More details: the horizontal lines are 3 pips apart"

Anyway! try this

Updated so that it gives you lines both sides of the 'moved' line on the assumption that might help a little.

do you have a script where i can enter a price and it will draw horizontal lines on 10,20,30,40, -10,-20,-30,-40 pips?

mn LineSets2 attached in previous response will do it.

Just set mLineSpace1 = 10, mLineSpace2 = 10, mLineSpace3 = 10,mLineSpace4 = 10

and it will give lines 10 pips apart above and below the main line.

i think it will helpful

Futurespec, How I understand it is that now we have a base line at the last close, and when you drag the base line to a new price, the spacings take effect, very cool. Can you help to make the first move automatically to the nearest round number? That will bring me a lot of help. Thanks for the nice work.

Cannot imagine why you would want it (Why don't you use a RN indi?).

Anyway try this.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I did not express it quite exact. Now you round it a bit too near for me;-) I want it @1.3100, 1.3200... or 83.00, 82.00...etc. Not like 1.3180. 1.3170... The reason is that I need some specific level of grids, like x.xx34, x.xx66, and your indi may help me get what I need. Thank you and happy trading.

I know this is an old thread….In MT5, you simply select all the lines and hold down the Alt key (Option on my mac) and all the selected lines move together. So simple. However I want to do this on MT4. So frustrating to not have this. Anyway, I am trying to compile the MT4 code that was posted. But not working for me. Not sure why and I will just keep trying to figure it out. But if someone knows if it stopped compiling after the upgrade to Build 600, I would greatly appreciate being notified.

Never mind. I figured out why it would't compile.

8 above, 8 below, cant remember, but I think the base line can be set with an input variable
