Can I draw thicker horizontal lines in MT4?

When I place a horizontal line on an MT4 chart, I can only adjust the thickness to the default maximum of 5.

Is there any way to make the line much thicker (wider)?

Many thanks to anybody who takes the time to help me.

Kind regards
Robert

I suggest to use Rectangle instead

Dear Omid

Thank you for the response.

The problem with a rectangle is that it stays in the same place it was created, whereas a line goes all the way across the chart and can therefore be used as a S/R or Demand/Supply line.

That is why I need the line to be thicker.

Kind regards
Robert

You can use a script to do it, although you will get some overlap onto the price scale:

Hi, I wanted to ask if you were willing to provide the mq4 file for the ThickLines script.

Only reason is so i can change the thickness and colour in the code so i don't have to change this every time i apply it to my chart.

It would be appreciated as i think its a cool tool
