Erebus,

Thanks for pointing this out. It's always helpful when somebody posts screenshots.

The Visibility parameter previously applied to the boxes only. I have modified the indy so that it now applies to the text also. You can download the modified version from post #1.

Much appreciated, such a quick response and fix, I thought it might be the code but wasn't sure, maybe like Microsoft 'that's not a bug, it is a feature' going to get new version now, THANKS

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Not sure whether it should be classified as a 'bug' or a 'feature'. Personally, I agree with you that the modified version is more logical, but I won't be surprised if somebody else asks me to put it back the way it was before.

One thing I've learned over the years: you can't please everybody.

Mozal,

The indy currently doesn't do this, but I will modify it for you, as soon as I have some spare time.

I assume that when you say "center", you mean half way between the candle's high and its low?

Hi Hanover, I use this indicator to plot twin horizontal lines with a -50 Clearance Pips ( below high price(Sell Entry) and above low price(Buy entry) )
to determine my buy/sell entry .I have a problem to differentiate the entry because sometimes these two line are closed to each other.Is it possible to have an option to change line colour for both high and low price individualy ? Thanks in advance.

Assuming that I understand correctly....... this can be done by plotting only one line, and applying the indy twice, with different colors.

I can't do that with H = plot twin horizontal lines (from the highest high and lowest low between StartHours and EndHours).

Hello, I'm looking for an indicator that draws a vertical line at a precise date each month. I don't think this one Daily Boxes/Lines indicator can do that. Anyone knows ?
For exemple : each first day of month at 8:00 am, each 25th of month at 08:00 am, etc.

Thanks.

You're correct, it's not designed to do that. It can be made to plot lines on specified days of the week, but not days of the month.

I'm not aware of an indy that plots lines on a monthly basis.

I've also looked everywhere, but couldn't find one. That's a pity, MT4 cycle lines are really not precise, they don't keep at same date. Do you think you could modifiy your indi ? My coding skills are not great, but i think the only thing to do would be to add a variable to chose the month and day to plot line. Not sure about that. I would really appreciate some help. Up to you. Thanks a lot.

Try the attached. The DaysOfMonth setting should work the same as DaysOfWeek (see post #1).

I don't use the indy myself, and I haven't looked at the code for several months now, so it's just my best guess, given the time that I have available.
