Grid lines on MT4 - indicator needed

All I want is heavy line every 100 pips and a lighter line every 50 pips - does anyone have this?

There are more lines on this bloody MT4 grid than a junkies snort table.

Thanks

You should find plenty of grid indicators here on FF plotting lines (ie. at round numbers).

This is the error when I bring this file into MetaEditor. How do I fix this? I opened the file and pushed F5.

The file is in the wrong folder. It's an indicator but you put it in the experts folder.

TRMZXT,

Which build do you use ? 765?
In case of , delete all the mn RN files (mq4 and exe. files) then re-download from this thread.
Install it in the MQ4/ indicator folder.
Compile or re-start.
This should work OK then.
Have a good trading week.

Just in case it helps somebody........ the attached indy will also plot solid lines at xx00 levels, and dotted lines at xx50 levels.

The MQ4 file won't compile on latest MT4 builds, hence I've attached only the EX4. It also means that no modifications are possible.

It works. However for XAU USD it is more on the 5 pip level vs 50. It makes lines at 1222.5 vs every 1.225.0 Can you fix that? Also 1220.00 as 100 level.https://charts.mql5.com/7/49/xauusde...ex-limited.png

The indicator is designed to work for the 28 majors and crosses only. For exotics, metals, indices etc, different br0kers define what represents 'one pip' differently.

[EDIT]
Try the attached indicator. Download the PipValues.TXT file to your /MQL4/Files folder, and then modify it to set the pip values of every instrument offered by your br0ker to whatever you wish. The indicator will then use these values to determine the value of '1 pip' for that instrument, and plot lines at multiples of 50 and 100 times that value.

That's my best and final attempt at a solution; beyond this you will need to look elsewhere for another indicator.

I'm both sorry and embarrassed, but I can't find the MQ4 file anywhere on my computer.
