Spaced Lines (v 3.0) indior thread

[mmp95]

Hi Hanover

Just wanted to post to say a huge thank you with this super indior.I have used 4 instances of it to eventually subdivide each thousand pips to 125pip segments using repeated and recognizable different horizontal lines.
One little question - is it possible to use a three digit custom color eg 100,100,111 as a variation on grey. Whenever I try entering any combination of digits I end up using darker shades of a red/brown or lighter. No worries if this isn't a feature I prefer to mute a few of the colors.

Thank you again.

Ginogee,

Welcome to the forum, and thanks to your comments.

I just saw your post now. I am afraid I don't visit this part of the forum as often as I used to, after obtaining abuse such as I obtained from the hothead in post.

To answer your question: You can enter custom colors in the shape RxxxGxxxBxxx, in which the x's represent numerical values to the Red, Green and Blue ordinates. The arrangement is lenient: as an instance, b60r60 would place blue=60, crimson=600. Please feel welcome to experimentation.

I'm a huge fan of this indior... thanks for posting it. I've a preset file for every single pair so only must tell it that preset file to check at, which got me to thinking about a mod:

when we were able to make the preset name NULL.txt then possess the indior assign the profile title depending on what chart the indior was connected to, so when attached to EURUSD it would search for preset file EURUSD.txt. I attached to some GBPUSD chart, it would try to find the preset GBPUSD.txt etc

this manner it would automatically put the right support and resistance onto the right chart whenever a new chart profile was loaded.

PS. Please do not allow the trolls get to you. There are infinitely more individuals who gratefully appreciate your campaign than you will find flamers and trolls. I know I really do.

MJL,

Try the attached. Leaving ParameterFile = %SYMBOL% will look for p-file called Presets--Spaced Lines.EURUSD if connected to EU chart, Presets--Spaced Lines.USDJPY if connected to UJ chart, respectively

Have not done any testing, will leave that to you. Spelling and punctuation of file names needs to be 100% right in order for it to operate.

David, I really hope posting the code was intentional? If it wasn't just allow me to know and I'll delete this part of the post once the code has been eliminated by you.

It did enable me to alter the code to get it to work with my setup however, for some reason I always needed to put EURUSD.txt as the PresetFile therefore I changed this line in order to get it to work for me:

FileName = Presets--Spaced Lines. ParameterFile . Txt;

having the mq4 though also showed me just how much trouble you had gone to to impliment my petition, for which I'm truley grateful. Time is the most valuable comodity in the world, so thank you for being so generous with yours.

Kind regards

David, I truly hope posting the mq4 code was deliberate? If it wasn't just allow me to know and I'll delete this part of the post as soon as you've removed the code.

Posting the source code was deliberate.

I am trying to cut my time down in Platform Tech. I'm making source code available.

.mq4 source for each my own indys can now be found here. I encourage everybody to create whatever mods they want. These are available take it or leave it ; use at your own risk foundation.

Hi Hanover, Just to show my appreciation. They are very great, wonderful, amazing and I have been following your threads, I really don't know how to describe it. Though I began learning mql4 programing, how I wish I can be like you, lol. I'm happier if any additional resources which can hasten my learning. You're a teacher and a programer. Thanks once again.

Hi, you clearly understand what you're talking about when it comes to coding EA's. I would really like to understand how to create Expert Advisors for myself, but I have no idea. Can you suggest a fantastic place to get started? A book, course, or series of video's that covers the fundamentals?
