Indicator that draws vertical line at certain time?

Does anyone know of an indicator that will draw a vertical line on a candle that I set to a certain time? Say I want to see all candles that open at 4am GMT on the hour charts.. Is there an indicator that can plot these?
I am trying to do some back testing and want to identify certain candles on 1hr and 4hr charts.

thanks,
Cheezehead

Hi, Zen,

Thanks for the great indicator

Is there a version that lets me stipulate the day as well as the time for the vertical line, e.g every Friday at 3pm on the chart I'm looking at

Thanks,

Hi,

does anyone have the same kind of thing that draws a horizontal line on an opening price of a candle??

for example i want it to draw the line for opening price of the London market, so between 0800 and 1700 gmt...

Many many thanks in advance

hi zen_leow!

i want to thank you for a wonderful solution that is almost perfect for my needs!

but can it draw the lines as "BACKGROUND" ie the line is drawn in the background as per the vertical line property?

tks for a wonderful indie!

much regards,
gulf

Gulf,

This indy will plot vertical lines at a certain time of each day, with background optionally on or off. For example, using the following settings will plot a dotted green v-line at 7am each day:

LookbackDays=20
StartHours=7.0
EndHours=15.0
ExtendHours=15.0
UniqueID=1
BoxColor=0,64,0
LineColor=Green
Properties=V..^
HorizLineLevels=0
TextProperties=
SymbolProperties=
DaysOfWeek=Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri
Visibility=M1,M5,M15,M30,H1,H4
TimeFrame=
CandlesMustExist=false
ClearancePips=0.0
RefreshEveryXMins=1
SecondaryPipCount=false

StartHours determines the time of each day the v-line will be plotted.

In Properties:
V denotes a vertical line
.. denotes a dotted line
^ (caret symbol) denotes background plotting

Read post #1 of the thread, and experiment, to discover more. It's a one-stop-shop for plotting lines, boxes and symbols from specified times on each day.

HELLO.How to move a vertical line x amount of bars to the right?
can't seem to figure out how to move a vertical line x amount of bars to the right and even into the future where bars don't exist yet. Moving it by using time data kind of works but not shown weekend data messes it up. How do I solve the weekend data issue when moving vertical line to the right? Thanks.



I need this indictor thanks

Hi Zen,
Thank you for this useful indicator.
I was just wondering if you could add this little function in the code to make the line can be changed to 'dotted line'.
Thank you very much

Any coder out here to make me a custom indicator? Zen?
It would basically consist in plotting horizontal lines on the chart to help with chart analysis.
Let me know if you'd be interested.
Thank you!!

I like that. Is it possible to code that indi to plot more lines at different times. I need 5. I also like it better when it doesnt highlight time and date. Just a simple dotted line

just drop it on the chart 5 times with different time settings and different line colors and then save it as a template

Hi fellow coders,

would someone be able to add some code to the above indi, so as to make the line be drawn as background to the candle.

This is the same as right clicking on the vertical line, and selecting "Draw object as background" in vertical line properties section. This would really help so as to visually not disturb the candle look.

Much appreciated!
