Indicators: FiboBar 1.0

[Mike H]

Simple little indicator that patiently waits for one of the hotkeys, then draws the fib levels on either the current or previous bar.  

Useful if you briefly need to see the levels, without having to drag the fibo indicator onto the bar manually.

Also a couple of other little hotkeys some might find useful.

Double click any bar and it shows the fib levels.  Tap f/d hotkeys to delete again.

Hotkeys

FiboBar has the following hotkeys in use:

Hotkey	Action
f	Show/hide the Fibo levels on the CURRENT bar.
d	Show/hide the Fibo levels on the PREVIOUS bar.
Down Arrow	Pop up the most recent Alerts dialog - in case you want to see what recent alerts were.
g	Toggle the ScaleFix of the chart on or off.

Updated FiboBar to v1.02

v1.02 18 Dec 2021

- fixed scalefix toggle, added 261.8 fib level, left it selectable so Del key can delete.

- reduced double click area to just the height of the bar to avoid interfering with double clicks elsewhere on the chart.

FiboBar_MT5.mq5 attached. Mostly works OK, not fully debugged, but useful enough.

// KNOWN ISSUES:

// 1. sometimes a double click fails to make fibo show...  tapping F or D and then double clicking, or dbl clicking another bar, seems to reset it?

// 2. cannot make the fibo selectable on the chart, so cannot change properties or delete it with Del key.  This seems to have something to do with scaling on mt5.  To hide, tap the D or F keys as normal.

//     Dbl click the body to the left of the wick, and it WILL select, dbl click to the right of the wick and it does not select.

// 3. occasionally double click puts fibo on the bar to left of the double clicked bar. Appears to have something to do with scaling.

If anyone wants to help debug/fix these, go ahead or PM me.  

Thanks!

Updated to FiboBar v1.05 6 March 2022

You will need to have also downloaded mql4compat.mqh from here: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/1787&nbsp;

And placed the file in your \include folder as per instructions there.

Documentation:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mxe4ZFkfuFstxnr_oVfrjarQtgQ7YK0OwjFiL4yOzX0/edit?usp=sharing&nbsp;

This version is for MT5 only.  Have not got a MT4 version ready.  Will add another time.

[MikeHFX]

A new version of FiboBar for MT5, v1.07.

Added a hot-key to "R" re-apply a chart template to the current chart.  

This is useful when you have drawn a lot of things on the chart you want to clear, or, you have a rogue indicator that needs to be reset, or, MT5 pricing data for the chart looks wrong and needs to be reset.  

You can specify the template name (without the .TPL extension) in the properties.  Or in the code.

Then, tap the R key on your keyboard to apply the specified template.

Enjoy!
