market open/close indicator

I have an excellent indicator which maps the market open/close times for the different sessions with vertical lines.
I use it a lot for backtesting but the problem is it only goes back a very limited amount of bars/candles.
There is no setting to increase this and I don`t know how to program .
I was wondering if someone could open this thing and extend it`s candle range for backtesting.
I will post the indicator .
Failing that possibly someone has one that is adjustable? thanks

Hello randomlight, just to say thank you for posting this indicator. Looking forward to updates.

Happy Trading!

Hello randomlight,

i've been able to modify the indicator to show the various market hours in history for as long as you want.

How do i get it across to you, never posted any stuff on this forum before.

Happy Trading!

qudos to TS and madjava for this indicator...just what I was looking for...

could you entertain one request from me madjava? if can, would you kindly put horizontal line as well for the open market price that we choose to show on the chart?

btw, to attach a file, you just need to click the 'manage attachment' below your reply box...

Hello gilos,

Trust your fine. I must say, i not much of an MQL programmer (yet) my strong point is Java and hope to study MQL5 soon so i can contribute to the wealth of powerfull MT indicators out there.

However i'll look into your request, as soon as i can have some time, new to Forex and spend most of the time demo trading for now. Hope to learn to programme MT soon.

Attached is the modified file, i had changed some settings to GMT+1 as i live in Nigeria, you can change the settings to suite your timezone and recompile.

=============
extern int NYOpenDataTime=14; //Alpari = 14, FXDD = 15
extern int LondonOpenDataTime=9;
extern int AucklandOpenDataTime=1;
extern int SydneyOpenDataTime=23;
extern int TokyoOpenDataTime=1;
extern int HongKongOpenDataTime=2;
==============

Hope this helps, Cudos to the original author(s)

Happy Trading!

For some reason the indicator does not work fully on M5 and M1. A least for Tokyo Open. Did I miss something?
