How to Draw a Reference Lines Every 10 Pips - page 4

[deansi]

Its ok,

I got it to work ..!!  8)

 Thanks to those who contributed the ideas for this.

The result.... at 10pips per bar. 

for me its much easier on the eyes than the default grid, and takes half a second to see how many pips movement youre looking at.

It doesn't work.  Many errors.  What needs to be fixed?

Also, when it goes higher timeframe, I want it to be changed,

     ===> 1Min ~ 30 Min ==> every 10 pips  

     ===> 1 Hour  ======>  every 50 pips 

     ===>  4 Hour, Daily ======> every 100 pips

     ===> Weekly, Monthly ===> every 1000 pips

  

Any help? Rectangles are desired instead of lines which can cause confusion with Resistance and Support Lines.

Please help, thanks in advance ~
