MT4 script to MT5 horizontal line step
Any comments/links/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks RaptorUK,
No I hadn't. I had google searched mql4 to mql5, which referenced code converter websites; tested a few=they didn't work...but more to the point - the code churned out was of no help.
That article is like a translation table. Will have a study! Much appreciated!

I've been using this script for mt4 (as below). I want to start using mt5 but haven't been able to find an equivalent script in mql5.
Tried contact the previous author but no reply. I wanted to try code it myself (newbie) but to no avail.

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the write direction? I've been using this script for mt4 (as below). I want to start using mt5 but haven't been able to find an equivalent script in mql5. Tried contact the previous author but no reply. I wanted to try code it myself (newbie) but to no avail.
Was unsure how to combine objectcreate with the step function; well ......my attempt didn't work. The links I found were:
Object create
https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/objects/objectcreate
Step
https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/standardlibrary/datastructures/carray
Looking at the Step function, it states this is for dynamic arrays...but I'm thinking my price levels are static, they don't need to change with live price/timeframes or anything like that (or have I misunderstood?)
I don't necessarily want someone to write the script for me(although I would have no complaints if someone could, if simple enough), but I'd prefer to be pointed in the right direction from a learning perspective.
I also found a vline plotter script:
https://www.mql5.com/en/code/618
...also presumed I could substitute the vline objectcreate code for hline, but again I think this script link is dynamic in the sense that it recalculates timeframes and leaving this part of the code out did not work.
Any comments/links/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Dre.
