Simple Trend Lines/Channels

 

I like to have channels on my 30M chart from W1, D1 and H4 so I adapted the SHI_Channel_true indicator to allow me to do just that. Now it takes me 30 seconds at the beginning of my trading day to draw the channels.

I've attached it to this post just in case anybody else finds it as useful as I do.

Instructions are in the file but just here they are again...

Why do you remove the indicator from the chart after you put it on?

 

I don't remove the indicator, i delete all objects created by it so, if the trendline has changed, so, the old lines does not remain on the screen.

well the way i use it is to put it on a 4hr for example, it draws the channel, then remove the indicator but the channel remains. Try it and you'll see.

If you leave it on and move to another TF it will redraw it again but you will have two channels with the same color which isn't very helpful.

I don't want it to keep changing as the session develops and I also want different colored channels for each TF. That's why I delete it.

Hope that helps some...

This indicator just automate the task, you just put on the chart, and them remove it.

It does not do anything more than this.

If you want different colors for different timeframes, you just change them before put the indicator on the chart, using the settings.

Pretty simple and easy to use.

This indicator is just an automation for me and others that would have to insert 3 or 4 more times the same indicator then delete it.

You just insert my #(SF_TREND_LINES_ALL).mq4 on the chart, on anytime frame, you first set to true or false the lines you want for each timeframe frame, after you done this, you delete #(SF_TREND_LINES_ALL) from the chart, and all lines will already be drawed.

Hope it helps

Reading a Trendline - Beginners Question

If I draw a trendline on a chart with MT4 - Is it possible for MQL4 to read the beginning and end points values of that trendline?

Basically, I want to start a ZigZag at a User defined point.

 

do someone have a trendline indicator?

do someone have a trendline indicator? which prints out directly on the chart,

with resistance and support lines and brakeout signals? I don't even know if such a thing exist?

but it would be neat, or maybe a simular EA to MT4

thanks
