hey abinadi.... to retain your settings when changing timeframes remove or comment out the ,STYLE_SOLID,2);..... on each line it appears.... look at the edited code below..... then recompile the indicator......

to add additional lines up/down you can write a function that will draw horizontal lines...... it will not use buffers so it will have no limits to the number of lines.........h

[code]...
Well, there you go. Adding that to what Kenz987 provided, I have got what I was looking for.

You two guys are awesome - not just for knowing stuff I don't but being willing to take the time to help another. Really appreciated fellas.

Thank you again to hayseed and Kenz987

I just found this old thread as I was looking for a specialized "grid" indicator (of sorts)...

Here is the goal: to have a *dynamic-adjusting grid* of horizontal / verticle lines that will respond to the volitility (tick?) pip activity in the market, and by user adjustable volume...like 5 or 10 etc. and this will show at the far right edge of the chart) AND over a given (adjustable) time (minutes... and even seconds?), and this will be shown at the lower edge of the chart (like each 30 seconds, minute, 5 minutes, or what you want).

And this "grid is to show true market momentum dynamically in a way that where the "boxes" or cells are square or narrow, it shows *little* activity going on; where the boxes are wider / flatter rectangles, it shows *greater* activity occuring at this (selected) time period.

This kind of "grid" will immediately (and in history) show us where the activity presents lesser, "stay out" movement, and where there is (perhaps) more action/activity going on, to inform us it is a time worthy of consideration (along with our other filters) to, for instance, enter a trade (and I am selfishly referring to very short-timeframe scalping techniques, but the usefulness goes much further).

Any chance the value of such an indicator is wort developing for MT4 / MT5? Or that (wow!) there is such a thing already available?!

Thanks for your consideration.

The indicators aMarkHorizontals aren't working when I apply them to my chart. No matter what I do, they won't appear. I see this thread is old. Maybe an update to MT4 prevent these from working now?

1) That is how MT4 works - it's something everyone has to deal with. 2) The limit on buffers is 8. 1 pivot point and 7 lines. To get more just place a second copy of the indicator on the chart. ps: Skill - well I have spent my entire working career on computers. Sleep - yep, that would be good. The best deals are at 2 am CT (London open) when I am asleep.
Hi Kenz987, great indicators, just wondering can we add the price and distance from the dPivotPoint.

Hello people,

Anyone out there, please get any if not both of these indicators to compile.

Alternatively if any one has a grid indicator with both horizontal and time vertical lines, please post it.

Thanks

<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --> This has nothing to do with the popular Grid trading methods. Rather it is a replacement for the default chart grid. This indicator let's you set up a grid to what suits your trading, not what metatrader makes up. You can set the horizontal lines every X pips and it stays fixed at that even if you change the chart period. You can also set up the time grid to what ever time period you want. Here's a sample 1 hour chart, show the horizontal grid at 20 pips and...


this grid indicator is not working, can someone fix it please. thanks

  1. Change colors as required for round & non round numbers.
  2. Use Save and Load for user preferences.
