I like this indicator a lot.
Thank you.

====================
The .ex4 from post #1 works fine.
The .mq4 compiles with error:

'\end_of_program' - ending bracket '}' expected
'\end_of_program' - unbalanced left parenthesis
2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I am having difficulty showing the shaded box between the open price @ 7.00 and the open price @ 8.00
Extend box until 11.00 am with Upper & lower lines to the box.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alas, what you're asking for is not currently possible. From post #1:
Quoting hanover
The upper and lower extremities of each box are determined by the highest and lowest prices between StartHours and EndHours.
The indy can extend a single line forward from a price open, but not boxes, and not between two different open prices.

The indicator is already too complex; there are literally thousands of possible parameter combinations. I haven't looked at the code for several months now, and I don't want to run the risk of introducing bugs elsewhere by modifying it any further.

(Just musing to myself: It's funny that, no matter how many scenarios a programmer attempts to anticipate, there's always somebody out there who's seeking something that falls marginally outside those boundaries. Hence, instead of trying to write a one-fits-all solution, it's arguably better to write a specialist indicator for each individual requirement. )

Thanks for the reply Hanover.
Maybe I need to place it twice to draw the 2 lines, how do I do that ?
Can I adjust the line thickness ?

You can attach the indy twice, to get lines between 0700 and 1100 hours, and 0800 and 1100 hours, as shown in the screenshot. (That's a good idea; wish I'd thought of it ). However, it won't plot any boxes.

For the first instance of the indy, change the settings highlighted by the red arrows to the values shown in the attached screenshot.

The second instance is the same, except with StartHours = 8, and UniqueID = 2. (If you have multiple instances attached to the same chart, each must have a different UniqueID, to ensure that a unique name is created for each plotted object).

Setting Poperties to O3 means "plot a horizontal line from the open, of width (thickness) 3".

That's about as close as you'll get to what you originally asked for, at least as far as I'm aware, given the indy's current limitations.

Sorry, this is currently not possible, unless you manually change the DaysOfMonth setting to exclude today's date, every day.
e.g. if today is March 11, set DaysOfMonth to 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31

Daily adjustments are a bit inconvenient.
Thanks for the info, anyway.

(The point excluding todays HiLo is, that they set up "artificial" and "nervous" S/R levels during day trading, particularly in the first hours.)

hi DAVID


i know i am not much of a contributor here, but i would dare to ask you for some help.
i dont know how much time consuming that would be, but you will see yourself what you feel up to or not.


here it is.


1 - the top one shows daily indicator //attached// - is it possible to do a daily candle to shift 24 h ahead? // so next day,today, it would NOT be painting current day,but stationary painted previous days - OHLC. ///the price would be basically moving within a previous daily candle, or outside if it moves for that matter///.



i would amateurishly presume that the 1st one would be easier to do, but the second one would be super duper,,,but i would be very thankful for any help that u would be willing to do.


2 - to make an indi that would plot 4 lines OHLC and if possible colored boxes to fill between open/close ///preferably all adjustable,colors and thickness of lines/// like in the second //bottom// chart.
again, in a current day displaying daily OHLC from a previous day.
if that would help,,,,,,,,i am not interested in any other time frame, just DAILY OHLC from a day before to be painted today.



i would be very thankful and happy for any form of yr help.


kind regards
george

Hello Hanover,

A very useful indy you've got here and, as always, thank you for sharing your expertise!

I have what I hope is a small housekeeping item if/when you have the inclination and opportunity or if you can instruct me on how to make the changes myself. As currently configured, the indy puts the text for Day/High/Low information above the boxes. This is perfectly fine, except that the text seems to exend too far to the LEFT of each box. Is there any way to make the text appear on two or three lines justified with the left side of the box edge so that it appears like so:

Thu:
High=1.29288
Low=1.28456

As it is now, the text intrudes into other boxes to the left and/or candles.
Thanks!

Great indi, very generous to share.

How can the history boxes be coloured to reflect prev day candle colour instead of all same colour. So if day before was red day then box is red, if day before was green day then box is green.

Does that make sense, would help to trade with trend of prev day.

Hanover, is there anyway to get these lines at the high and low of every daily bar but have the lines extend all the way to the right where current candle is? I want to use these as support/resistance.

Hi Hanover,

Great indicator and a big thank you for making this available to the community.

I have managed to use this indicator in the following manner stated below and I am not sure if I had missed something, but I can't seem to do the last one. Is the last application possible with the current release of this indicator?

Your guidance is greatly appreciated

1. In H1, each day's worth of candles are shaded in a box using FTH.

2. In H4, each 5 days' worth of candles (4 boxes of H1) is covered in a box outline using BT2

3. How can I get the indicator to surround 4 week's worth of candles in D1 using an outline box? I am currently seeing overlap boxes. (Screen shot attached)

My settings are :

Start Hours : 0
End Hours : 744
Properties: BT2
Days of the Week : Mon
Days of the Month: 01,02,03,04,05,06,07

Your time and guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the indicator mate, great!.....with the horizontal lines that plot positions above below the open, any chance for the lines to go the other way into the day to the right rather than the left? Dont worry if it's too difficult.....
Best,
J
