Drawing a Graph On MT4

I need to draw a graph and I need to move it around anyone has any ideas?

The closest I could come up with is a "Triangle" under the "Insert>Shapes" tab.

Help...

And what is wrong with triangles? What kind of graph is it?

There is a possibility to draw over a chart what ever you want, the way you want, externally; this involves subclassing of the window (install own window procedure).

There's nothing wrong with triangles, just that I need to draw a few and drag them multiple times, unless there's a way to attach all of the triangles together.. ?

its just a lines up and down but need to be able to move together, something like the "equidistant" lines, only in a graph shape... help...

The graph just needs to be zigzag lines... and able to move together and be adjusted.

I see.
Well, you could draw a bounding rectangle and draw the triangles relative to its bounds.
This assumes that you know when the rectangle is moved.
To do this I think the simplest way is to poll the coordinates of the bounding rectangle in an infinite loop.
Or you could do the same with only one segment of the structure (to be the anchor).

I can draw rectangle, but what is a "bounding rectangle" ?

Yes, it might help if the rectangle and triangle is anchored together, (1) how do I do this?

Please teach me how do I (2) "poll the coordinates of the bounding rectangle in an infinite loop" if it can help... cos I don't understand this yet.

I understand your last sentence.

You know what would help, if this freaking MT4 has triangles with more than 3 corners, more like a star, i think that would help a little more...

What you need is a reference point, that, when moved all the other points need to move in relation.
The idea of a bounding rectangle (bounding box) is to contain the graph; its width is the width of the graph, its height is the height of the graph.
Similar to a window containing stuff. You would draw your triangles relative to the triangle, not to the chart window.
But you can choose any other object as "anchor" to draw the triangles in relation to, i.e. one of the triangles.
The rectangle (OBJ_RECTANGLE) has 2 coordinates; to poll its coordinates means to i.e. coord1x = ObjectGet("name", OBJPROP_TIME1) and so on. I assume that, when the rectangle is moved with the mouse, that mt4 updates its coordinates that can be get by the ObjectGet function (I have not tried such a thing ever).
Then if you can get those updated coordinates you would have to update all the coordinates of the triangles, relative (in relation) to the rectangle.
You find the bounding box by looking at the lower-left and the upper-right corners of your graph (or leftmost, lowest, rightmost and highest points).

Thanks again brother..

Maybe I'm more of a practical person, could you add instruction on how to anchor the rectangle to triangle...

e.g.
1) Add rectangle:
1.1 - Click on "Insert" tab
1.2 - Hover over "Shapes"
1.3 - Click "Rectangle"
1.4 - Now click and drag to draw the rectangle on the chart.

Now your turn... Thanks.

I have come up with a script for you, I think it does what you have in mind. Hope you can build from there.
Here is how it works so far (it's a bit tedious right now):

1. you draw consecutive triangles (instert->shapes->triangle) in the form of a line, i.e. the 3rd coord is close to the 2nd.
2. you name the triangles form T0 to Tn, i.e. T0, T1, T2..
3. T0 is the anchor, select it.
4. run the script; now you can move the structure.. (move the anchor)

Edit: I have included a picture to make it more clear.

Edit2: If you want to restructure the triangles, stop the script, restructure then run the script again. To quickly delete the whole structure, delete the anchor, on the next tick all will be gone.

I could kiss you man... Thanks a tonne, I'm testing it now.. Hope it works fine.

Really sorry to bother you again... but can you elaborate on "run the script"..

I'm hope I'm not totally dumb, I did insert the "struct.mq4" into my MT4 Folder :
(I'm using InstaForex)

Folder:InstaTrader>experts>struct.mq4 = Failed
Folder:InstaTrader>experts>indicators>struct.mq4 = Failed
Folder:InstaTrader>experts>scripts>struct.mq4 = Failed

Each time I insert the "struct.mq4" file I restart my MT4. But when I create the triangles and Insert>Indicator>Custom and click on "struct", nothing happens...

Please help, I'm so close yet so far...

Edit: I think you forgot to compile the script first: load the script into the editor or start a new script (erase the template) and paste the code, compile and go.
When done with triangle drawing, drag the script onto the chart, look into terminal under "Experts" if it reads "loaded successfully".
If you have done the steps (1-4) and your T0 is selected drag its center point to move the structure. This is how it work within my mt4 instance.

I mean you have to compile it first

It's source code, not an executable script.

I actually don't talk the programming language...

I do not know how to compile a script.
How do I load the script into the editor?
I actually don't know what is the editor.

I know template, the ".tpl" file where I can insert it like:
Charts>Template>Load Template

Are we on the same page...?

Man, I'm so lost, but not all is lost... I looked high and low and found the "Experts" Tab in my "Terminal"

Oh, I'm sorry, I assumed too much (you could have mentioned that you do not know about programming).
No problem I have included the compiled script, so put it under /experts/scripts and proceed as mentioned (drawing triangles, naming, selecting, and dropping the script onto the chart).
If it loads successfully you should finally be able to move it all

It's just that without programming skills you will not be able to moidfy anything if needed, instead be always dependent on someone else. I have thought to just give you a starting point. Anyway, maybe you can get along.

Thanks for the compilation. Placed it in my /experts/scripts

Now I did all the stuffs:
1) Draw 2 triangles along a straight line.
2) Named the first "T0" and the second "T1"
3) Select (double-clicked) the first triangle line
4) Click on Insert>Indicators>Custom>struct

Nothing happens, no new window opened, and the second triangle didn't follow the first when I dragged it along.

And when I check the "Experts" tab in my "Terminal". It said:
"struct NZDUSD, H1: loaded successfully", and then right above it:
"struct NZDUSD, H1: removed"

tried it a couple of times... hmmm...
got a way to troubleshoot this?

Additional details:
I was testing it in NZDUSD H1 chart.

No this is not an indicator, it's a script.
Put it under "scripts"; then drag it onto the window (drag-and-drop as usual). Nothing great will happen, it's just that you can move the selected triangle and it will drag the other triangles along.

I'm in bed, its 12.56am... but let me get out of bed and try this once more...

-via mobile, what else...

My oh my...

I still can't get it, please look at the "artistic" picture...

I need help on understanding the "drag it onto the window" part.

As you can see, it's already in the /scripts folder, and the two triangles are drawn... I just need a little "push" now...

No, no.
Hit CTRL + N in your mt4 (or go to View->Navigator) there open the "scripts" (click onto the "+" left of it); from there drag the script onto the chart.
