need help creating a graph
I haven't looked at your code, but have you researched
IndicatorSetDouble(INDICATOR_MINIMUM,?); IndicatorSetDouble(INDICATOR_MAXIMUM,?);
no i haven't but i will.
thanks
really? not even an attempt to help? am i posting wrong?
Your solving clue have been done by GumRai. We want you to figure out the rest.

You have to realise that not many can glance at a 30KB mq4 file with 531 lines and quickly work out the logic behind what you are trying to do.
In fact we have no idea what you are trying to achieve and so have to work it out from the code.
I may be slow, but it could possibly take me at least 2 hours just to work out your algorithms.
Maybe you could extract a small section of code that is giving you the problem, explain what you are trying to achieve and how you have tried to achieve it.
OK, so i am posting wrong.
the problem i am stuck with is how to make each time frame of the graph show and adjust to the real value of the indicator. right now it is showing values of -100 to 100 in the colored boxes, where 1 box equals 10. this works fine on the smaller time frames but once the value gets past 100 or below -100 it doesn't adjust for the higher/lower values.
i hope i am explaining the problem clearly, if not let me know.

i have created a multiple time frame indicator for the MACD Indicator, but i have a problem i can not seem to work through.
first let me say i have done all the searching and reading necessary to figure this out, for me this is my last resort. i have been self learning MQL for years and some of the problems i have are probably simple and easy to explain,sometimes i overlook the obvious.
problem- the colored graph is limited to values -100 to 100.
i need to auto adjust the value above 100 and below -100. i am guessing this is a array problem that i am missing or simply do not know how to do.
if there is a better way to create a graph i would love to see an example.
the code has 531 lines so in the interest of space i thought it would be better to post the code as a file instead of SRC.
any help will be appreciated
