yes, code an indicators that places (and moves) an object (e.g. dash) at the medium price.

  1. Add a moving average. Price = PRICE_MEDIAN, Length = 1
  2. use a Heinken Ashi indicator

@WHRoeder:

I think what the OP wants is a "middle" price "(Ask + Bid) / 2" and not a "Median" price "(High + Low) / 2". Many other Trading Applications use this approach of a "middle" price with a +offset for "ask" and -offset for "bid", instead of a base bid price as MetaTrader does and I think this is for what the OP is aiming.

@Pompon83:

Unfortunately, MetaTrader does not use a "middle" price as many other Trading Applications do and all chart data and indicators are based on the Bid Price. An indicator could mimic the the current "middle price" line on the chart, however all past data can only be represented as "Bid price" as neither the Ask price nor the Spread are stored in the history data. You will just have to get used to working with a Bid price instead of a "middle price".
