Need help finding an indicator for MT4

Rip · 02-21-2006, 12:43 AM

Hi all, I looking for MT4 indicator which will draw a horizontal line at the high and the low over x periods. example, if I'm working off the eurusd 1hr chart I would like to see a line at the 50 period high and the 50 period low, but the period can be set to what ever you want and the lines update with each new candle. Any help would be great, thanks Rip

yes, but ajustable, so you can find the 200 period high/low if you would like, find the high and low of x periods, x being any number of candles you choose.

I can't upload any files right now. Don't know if it is a problem with my work network or the forum. Anyway, here's the code for now. I'll upload the file later.

Here's the code for the Multi TimeFrame vesion. You need both files in your indicator folder to use the MTF version.

Code:
