Hello!
I modified another indicator, and made this one:

It draw a Line with the open of the Candles, D1, H4, H1 and M15.

The thing is it only draws once, then if a new candle begins, it does not update,

Can some good programmer modify to check evry new candle and update the lines. ? Please .. Thanks!!!

if posible, for 5 and 3 digits pairs., and that works in a strategy testers.

regars.

Hi,
You made agood attempt however it was easier to just start from scratch and write a new indicator. This will update and work on the different pairs however be aware that although it will work on the strategy tester it will not display all the timeframes. For example to display H1 you must set up the indicator to display H1 and set the tester to H1 however none of the other timeframes will show, the tester does not handle MTF very well.

Regards CJA

You might want to change this . . .

Inserted Code

else
   ObjectMove(open, 0,0,Time[0]);

to this . .

Inserted Code

else
   ObjectMove(open, 0, start, Time[0]);

20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

Its not working in the strategy tester because MTF does not work ( visually )in the strategy tester as explained in Post#2 above.
For example you CANNOT put a H1 indicator onto a M5 tester chart it will not work you can only put a H1 timeframe on a H1 tester chart any timeframes that are not the same as the tester timeframe will not work..

Simply put you CANNOT use the strategy tester to visually test a MTF display.

This is my understanding of the situation if I have got this wrong I stand to be corrected.

Hi!, ok, I understand that you can not use different TF in the strategy tester, but you could get openings prices starting from TF 1M candles?

Let's say Open for D1 TF will be 00:00 in M1 Candle.

Then for 4H:
Going to be
00:00,
00:00 + 4 = 04:00, then
04:00 + 4 = 08:00 and so...

For the 1H TF going to be:
00:00
00:00 + 1 = 01:00

00:01 + 1 = 02:00 and so on..

and finally for the 15M TF :
00:00
00:00 + 00:15 = 00:15
00:15 + 00:15 = 00:30 and so on..

Lets say we can set the initial candle open time: to 00:00 or 01:00 to adjust the broker GMT offset.
and we also need to lookback for 1440 candles in M1 TF.

I have this strategy I would like to try, I can in a demo account and will take me about 1 Month with the current indicator, or I can do in the Strategy testers in 1 day if this can be done.

thanks for the effort anyway

Kind Regards!
