I also noticed that it will not allow the arrows/signals to be displayed on one time frame only. If I change it to show on specific time frames, it will still show on all. Hopefully you can change that as well.
Sorry Kas - not sure what you are after here. As it is, the indicator calculates the swings on the timeframe displayed on the chart. So, as soon as you change timeframe the indicator recalculates and draws the swings relative to the current timeframe. It does not draw daily arrows on the 4hr for example...perhaps you could explain in greater detail?

Cheers

What I mean is if I click on the indicator and go into visualization and change it so it does not display on all time frames, it will still show on all time frames. I would like to be able to show arrows on 1 time frame only. So when I go to another time frame they should not be displayed. Hope that makes sence.

OK. I will include an option in user settings to allow you to switch off arrows. That way, you can do what you want with them in the timeframe that you are interested in, and then switch them off when you change timeframe.

I will also change the logic to draw the arrows on the signal bar when it is lower/higher than the bars within the look back window as per one of your earlier posts.

You also mentioned support and resistance lines - I can include those too, but after that I will be moving on to some other projects.

It should do most of the things that you want by then though...

Thanks. If you could make post #33 a priority over adding s/r lines, that would be great.

Set the user input - blnDrawLines to true to display the support resistance lines

EDIT: Ignore the following:- As you are using a 4 digit broker, you will need to change the values in the dblUpArrowSpace and dblDownArrowSpace in order to see the arrows. Have a look in the object list and have a look at one of the arrows price value - that should give you an idea of how much to adjust the values by.

I checked and I have already allowed for different brokers. Next question. Did you apply the indicator to the M1 chart, or a higher time frame before dropping down? If the later, you may find that the bar does not exist on your M1 chart. Try deleting the indicator (you must set the blnClearUp input to true before deleting) then load it onto the M1 chart, or whichever chart you are interested in....

Let me know if that doesn't work.

gtudor - I am unsure why it is not working for you, but I have made a short video to show you how I use it - there is no audio though!

Set yourself up with a blank chart - no other indicators or objects and follow the steps, then let me know how you get on....

On closer inspection - the indicator is working correctly. I have marked where it has drawn the lines on your chart in the image below:

By coincidence, some of your order lines are in the same locations as the lines. By default, the indicator draws the support/resistance lines in the background - so behind your order lines!

I hope that the above and previous video answers your questions?...
