Minor indicator mod, a little help please..

New comment
 

Hi all,

I would like the code below to have the price values removed (from the right hand side of the indicator) so I can place a zero-line on the indicator BUT I do not know how to code.

Would someone out there be kind enough to tell or show me how to do this?

If so, I'll buy them a pint or two!

Thanks - if you can help.

Have you tried with MAOnly = true; ?

Yes. What I am looking for is the ability to get rid of the price values on the right hand side of the indicator. So I can have a 0.00 or a zero-line for exit purposes.

Can you post a picture of what you have and what you want . . .

Not really sure how you can expect to have a zero line if the values drawn are only positive values ?

I am not a programmer, but surly there must be a way? Mustn't there??

Yep, I agree with ya..

Whatever it is, Davefx, add this on init()

int init()
  {
   ... // your other ...   
   ... // ... codes

   SetLevelValue (0,0.0);
   SetLevelStyle (STYLE_DOT, 2, Lime ); //<<== Lime color of thick 2 dotted line
   return (0);
  }

You can add more lines if you like, just write SetLevelValue (1, 1,25) which means set horizontal level number 1 (up to number 31) at 1.25 value, SetLevelValue (https://docs.mql4.com/customind/SetLevelValue) and SetLevelStyle (https://docs.mql4.com/customind/SetLevelStyle)

:D

Hi onewithzachy,

Hi davefx

Try this

SetLevelValue (0,1.2240);

I have no problem with that value coz it's close to current EURUSD, and, like RaptorUK said, it's difficult to see value zero, and you may have to restart the MT.

:D

 

Hi onewithzachy,

Thanks it worked.

Is there a way around the small problem of ridding the indicator of the values on the right hand side??

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks again.
