(Req) Need help to set up a program

[e24]

Hi I am wondering if any one here could program or code up something for me

I would like to be able to plot time lines on my chart automatically like a template or indicator

Eg on 5 min chart to be able to mark out every hour by ploting a broken line at the start and the end of the hr and the same for 1 min chart

 

can this be done??

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your share cowboy

but it is not usefull for my trading system

What i require is for lines to appear on the 5 min chart and 1min chart Automatically

I cam place it manually but it would be nice to have an indicator that could plot these lines on every hr time slot

The hour chart shows evey day lines but i would like for the hrs

If someone knows how to do this it would be hughly appreciated

This should be fairly easy to write and I'd recommend having a go yourself. I was after a simple indicator but couldn't find it so I spent a couple of hours reading the basics of mql4 and a bit later I'd written my indicator. It's pretty easy and is worth learning IMO.

I'm not going to link to another forum here, but if you google codersguru you'll find a set of pdf's which is a course that takes you through everything that you need to get up and running.

Thanks Flib

But i am not interested in learning programming i will leave that for the experts,

but i am interested in trading.

I thought i will try my luck here with some of the programmers since i am a member

But if i need to search else where to find a programmer who is prepared to write up this simple request

that is what i will do.

 

Thanks again for your kind advise

If you don't want to do it then fair enough. I just view it as time well spent as I will be using this ability to aid my trading.

 

I've had a quick go writing this indicator for you. It's fairly crude as it's just drawing a vertical line at the beginning of each hour and the only input variable is the colour of the vertical lines.

You're welcome. This forum has helped me a lot so I like to take opportunities to repay some of it back when I can :)

I know i might be pushing it

But the 12 hr does not seem to have a line

also could you change the line from solid to dotted

i dont seem to have that option so i guess it is hard coded like that

 

Many thanks

I get lines on every hour so maybe it's a graphical problem - try changing to a larger TF then coming back to the M1 or M5. Here it is with dashed lines.

But thanks again for all your help i really appreciate it
