Hi folks,


I'm using the sweet spot indicator to plot lines at round numbers at the right edge of the screen.

However, the lines kept disappearing as I switched timeframes...Not sure what was wrong..

Can some one please help?


Screenshot of how it looks right after switching Timeframe:

The code undoubtedly has some issues but I can't reproduce what you are seeing . . . what do you have ShiftLine set to ? try a smaller number if you are using the default of 15.
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

Hi Raptor,


I tried changing the numbers, but it merely reduced/increased the length of the lines.

Also, this indi was taken from this thread:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=246430

I followed the recommendations given by Taiyakizx in his replies, and applied those modifications on the indi as attached by Pinbar on that thread, maybe I've screwed up the indicator myself.


Perhaps you can get the indi from that thread as posted by Pinbar, and have a look again?

Thanks alot for your willingness to help.

Regards,
Chao

So you made changes and didn't bother to comment the changes you made to the code ? so how does someone know your modifications from the original ?

Are you certain you posted the correct version ? it's not easy to fix a problem that can't be reproduced.

Well, I'm not a coder myself, so I have totally no idea what I changed. I simply copy + paste the codes as per given by Taiyakizx on the thread i posted above.

The original mq4 that i took was from here.

And the modification that i copy + paste was from here.

Glad to hear it's working for you I fixed a couple of other issues while I was in there, it now updates at the start of a new bar rather than every 10 mins, it also no longer deletes all the lines and then re-creates them . . . it just moves them instead.

I'm amazed at your kindness really. Glad to have you around here in FF.

Hello guys, could someone please modify Sweet Spot indicator so that:

  1. the indicator horizontal lines are not used(visible) on the chart.
  2. the prices (price tags) of the sweet spot levels display in the chart Scale (on the right vertical of the chart)

Reason being that the lines clutter the space on the chart.

Thank you very much in advance. Jan
