Hello ND,

what am talking about is like in Ninjatrader, Tradestation etc where if you have multiple charts up in a workspace/profile, each with a diff TF, and you put the cursor crosshair for example at 0700 on the 5 minute chart, it would also appear at 0700 on all the other charts you have up and would move throughout the charts as you moved the cursor/crosshair around on the chart you have main cursor on.

I am in CST USA and having trouble finding best trading zones for research such as your GMT+3 and my GMT-5 which is CST. I know it is 0700. I Am working with my broker because their MT4 says GMT-8 is 0700 even though internet searchs show -5 for my area. They call it "Turkey Time". Very confusing because this site and all others posts and info are based on the real GMT time frames.

This is another reason for wanting a global x-hair.

thx

Hello ND,

Below are copies of communications and some .mq4 files from another forum that I could not get to work. Not sure if it me or the files. They are supposed to creat global crosshairs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------


1. open main window and drop "@ sx BT get" script on the chart - magenta vertical line named "BT" apears at the end (this script will read time and write it to global variable)

2. open other window (for ex. other TF of the same pair) and drop "@ sx BT set" script on it - blue vertical line named "BT" apears at the end (this script will read glob. variable with time and move blue line to specific time)

3. repeat step 2 if necessary in more charts

now move magenta in main window and blue lines will move in synco with it.

when you want to stop scripts - just switch TF in the windows


----------------------------------------------------------------------

HERE BELOW ARE UPDATED VERSIONS OF THE ABOVE INDICATORS ARE ADDED BY ANOTHER PERSON. THEY ARE THE TWO .mq4 FILES ATTACHED.



I join a slightly modified version. It does both vertical and horizintal line. Unfortunatelly it is not possible to move both of them simultanously.

I solved exit of scripts also - you can just delete one of magenta lines in main window and it will remove lines and global variables in all windows and removes script from them. Due to this solution "BT get" script must be dropped in main window first, then "BT set" in slaves windows.

Hope it will help you any way.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FOLLOWING FILE IS OR MEANS BUT I ATTACHED IT ANYWAY.




im sorry but i have no idea how to tie both lines like a cross. I do not know function that gives actual position of cursor.

Actual script works simply: "get" reads position=time of vertical line or price at horizontal line and these values writes to global variables, that are accessable from other windows.
"set" scripts reads content of glob. variables and move lines to proper positions (price and time). No less no more. Because you are not able move both lines together you cannot work as regular crossline.

If there is some connection between line (e.g. you horizontal line = close price at the that time of vertical line) it is possible to tie lines. But it is not regular crosshair.

Im not sure if you understood what I mean, so I join another handy script for manual backtesting that works this way:

How to use: drop "manual BT" script to chart. there will be 2 vertical lines (red and blue) and 2 horizontal dashed lines. You can move vert. line to open and close order positions and hor. lines move immediatelly to close price at these times. In left up corner you can see the profit. Nothing clever but sometimes handy for backtesting. Must try and you will see.

Hi ND et al,

I came across Tapatalk - Online Community at your fingertips!, which is a native iPhone application for viewing forums.

I cannot vouch for this particular product, but I think this concept would be a great enhancement to forex-tsd.
