Couldn't you just turn on the period separators under the chart options?

My local time is -8 GMT so i thought it would be nice if i showed what day it is in GMT.

Hi, can anyone modify this indicator and make it not appear in higher Timeframes from H4 and onwards? I don't know how to modify it and it will always paint on higher TFs when modified in the visualization settings.

Many thanks and appreciate your help

It will now only show on M1-M5-M15-M30-H1 and not on H4-D1-W1 & MN1.

Thanks, CJA! I have been using your indicator, and really couldn't stand the days being on the higher TF, but loved the indicator. And now you modified it to not have it appear on the higher TFs...awesome!

BTW...do you or are you able to modify other indicators? In other words, are you for hire?

If interested, let me know.

Hi there,

Trust you are well.
Would you know if it is possible to plot the days of the week based on a time we can set manually.


It plots the days of the week based on the mt4 starting day which not always a true reflection of the trading time.

Thanks in advance for the help

Hey, the indicator seems to have an issue. Basically, i set it up and i saved my template again with the indicator on. I then loaded the said template on my other pairs and the days don't seem to be showing up. They only show up on the original pair.

I have just tried making a template using only the 5 Days indicator and it loads on other charts with no issues.

#1 The the issue could be either with your template or one of the other indicators you have on the chart may have a delete code issue.
#2 Try doing it with no other indicators on the chart if it works then the problem is with another indicator in the template.
#3 This indicator was compiled on MT4 build 1010 so if you have an earlier build that could be a problem may be??.
#4 Have you tried changing timeframes to see if the Days text loads?? when the Markets are closed sometimes it is required to refresh the chart.
#5 Did you have issues with the previous version of the indicator??

Good Luck that's about all I can think of at the moment.

I have the newest build of MT4.
i didn't have issues with the previous indicator.
I deleted the indicator from my template and put it on there again. One chart loads, but when i load it on other charts, it doesn't show up.
i add a new symbol and load the template, but once again, the indicator does not work.
I tried changing timeframes and it didn't help.

Did some troubleshooting and came up with this result:
-When i pull up a new chart and load the indicator, the first time i load it, it doesn't appear in the indicators list. It only appears when i add it 2nd time (happened on multiple charts)

-After editing the indicator settings, many times it will not show the day labels and then when i delete and reattempt to add to chart, it will not add or appear again until a new chart is loaded.

This sounds really odd, if you look in the objects list does it show the day names there? because it sounds like you have some random objects left on the chart somewhere which are messing with the delete code, try by manually deleting all the objects off a chart ( ctrl B - ctrl A - Alt D ). If you load just the indicator with say 20 Days to show you should have only 20 objects in the list.

When you say you are loading the indicator do you mean the template or just the indicator? because if it is the template just forget about trying to load that and try just the indicator so we can narrow down the problem.

What messages are you getting in the Experts/Journal tabs?

I have tried everything I can think of to make this indicator not load and I am literally not having any issues??

Hi There,

Would it be possible to ask if you could add a time zone so the day appears within a time frame?

For example my platform is GMT+2 but I would like the day to show GMT+4 or so


Thanks a lot

Thanks CJA a lot!!! You've done lots of nice works ^^ so far
??? Do me a favor please! The 5Days nmc.ex4 works greatly on my mt4 chart, but the problem is It does not appear in the indicator list after I load it so I cant modify settings afterwards & sometimes, I unintentionally click on separator lines and drag it, It does not refresh itself to be in the right position as it should be ? Could you please fix it ^^. Thanks

Happy trading! mates

It is possible that you are getting a zero divide?? ( I have not been able to duplicate your problem ) when this happens look at the Experts/Journal tabs at the bottom of your chart and see what messages you get then report back to this thread.
