Indicators: Ticks indicator - page 2

 
It is interesting and beautiful with separate windows.... But how can I display my information on OBJ_CHART without charts? For example, I want to have just a real-time tick chart like in the market overview, but in a separate window on the main chart

Indicators: Tick indicator ZoomPrice

This is an interactive chart object, some properties of which are changed (e.g. coordinates) via CTRL+B (will be visible as Chart if you click "All"). Therefore, you can do with it all the same things you can do with standard graphical objects. In particular, place it in any window (subwindow).

The short EA source in the description does just that.

In this variant, you can switch the chart to other symbols, and the object will continue to show the symbol on which it was originally created.

These lines carry certain information

  • brown (by default) - the vertical line shows the time position at the cursor location, the horizontal line shows the price.
  • blue (default) - shows bid-price at the cursor position. At the same time, the time of this tick and the spread are displayed on the right (along the vertical scale).
  • red (default) - the same for ask-price.
It is not possible to remove these lines through the input parameters. The brown line can be "removed" by setting the Cross colour as None. Similarly, you can do with Bid/Ask lines, but it will affect the visibility of the corresponding historical broken lines.

I don't know where to write, so I'll write here.

As far as I remember, tick history was not loaded in MT5 before, but now it is, and you can create such original things based on it. For some reason I don't see much activity in this direction, I found only your indicator, but it is very interesting, it opens up completely different possibilities. I wanted to ask, is it now possible to create normal non-temporal charts in MT5, like renko and range bars? There are such charts based on minute history, but it is not very convenient to trade on them intraday - such charts can be correctly built only on ticks, and minute data gives huge inaccuracies. Is it possible to make normal renko charts? I have not found even a discussion of such a thing.

Any logic of creating bars, where tick history is the source, can be implemented in MT5.

There is another tick indicator in the profile. In reality, these things are hardly ever in demand, so there is little discussion.

There is another tick indicator in the profile. Actually these things are almost not in demand, so there is not much discussion.

Maybe nobody knows that this is possible now? There are quite a lot of versions of such indicators on the minutes, there are also a lot of indicators for MT4 that create all kinds of charts. Tick indicators are too small, and on minute indicators a lot of information is lost, and correct renko indicators for intrade would be suitable (if the reversal parameter could be adjusted). Do you write custom indicators? Or where can I address with such a request?

Is it possible to limit the number of displayed ticks in the Ticks indicator? ", Ticks = " + (string)bars.GetAmountTicks() +".

It would be possible to select "display last 500 ticks" or any other number of ticks in the settings.

Of course, it is possible, but it is necessary to work a bit. This indicator itself implies that it will be used on M1 and strong approximation.

I do not use it, as there is a much more convenient indicator for working with ticks - ZoomPrice. There you can view ticks on any scale, even in one second and smaller.

 

For some reason it doesn't draw anything, it only displays the Comment line, the data in it changes. The Experts tab is empty, build 1643

I downloaded the indicator from kodobase and it worked immediately


Perhaps you have some conflict due to mqh-files overlapping with ZoomPrice. Therefore, it is better to download from scratch.

Crossing mqh-files of different indicators is not a good thing. But it so happens that I use only ZoomPrice.
