MT4 Rectangle Indicator (Right side auto alignment)

Guys

Does anyone know of a way to simply get MT4 rectangles to automatically display to the far right of the screen to display next to the price?

Here's a screenshot of what currently happens. It would be great if these can be auto extended.

Cheers

I'm using a workaround for that by setting the second time parameter far enough into the future.
Autoextension would have to be coded

Thanks for this, looks awesome. I really like the way you can change the colour for S&D H4 levels.

Can this be programmed to be able to specify colours for H1, M30, M15 and M5?

Cheers!

Actually I've realised you can change the colours yourself and they stick. What an awesome tool this is!

Finding that it is not updating to the current bar after switching MT4 off for a few hours, have tried chart refresh and deleting & reloading indicator.

Any suggestions ?

+customized color for each timeframe
+D1 and W1 or MN us the same color as D1
+auto_update for auto_updating the rectangles
if set to false, after rectangle drawed, it will not be updated


+set to false if want to customize some rectangles to update
add #update at the name of rectangle properties ....

enjoy .... and have a good trade

== you can change color for dark background by yourself ...

Hey man, this is something I've been looking for, good job with it. Would you be able to either post the source code (hopefully that's not a faux pas) or be able to code in a notification alert when price enters the box? Much appreciated.

Have a look for Alerter4U. You can set that to alarm on rectangles.

As far as I can tell Alerter4U doesn't provide Notification pushes for rectangles. Anybody know of a rectangle alerter that will push to a mobile phone?

Here's an audio WAV alerter I've been using for Horizontal lines on my S/D levels.

Would be great if this function (AlertWav) could be added to this indicator. Especially for each time frame (eg "GBP USD Supply H1")

You can create your WAV files here.

Hi ezpmee, thanks for the update. I just put in on my chart and was hoping to give a couple of suggestions. First of all, it's pretty good, getting very close to something usable.

Would you be able to add a notification, so that it can push to a cell phone? MT4 has this built in now, so I think the command is just SendNotification.

Also, as for the alert, if you have it selected, it alerts non stop, any way to make it just fire once?

If this is too much of a hassle, I'm sure I could figure it out if you were kind enough to post the source code. Thanks a bunch for your efforts. Almost there!

Check this indicator.

It's able to save zone into a file that can be uploaded later ( if you accidentally delete object from your screen ).
