I want this indicator to draw the first 4h range (H&L) of the day, for the rest of the day. everyday adjust to the new first 4h candle
Please attach the code properly if you have it, you may have noticed a </> icon on the ribbon toolbar at the top of the comment/post box.
Rami Khattab: Im new to coding, and seeking your help with a little issue :) MT5. I want this indicator to draw two lines at the first 4H candle of the day, (one at the high & second at the low), and I want these two lines to stay fixed for the rest of the day, ( i don't want to draw the upcoming 4H candle, only the first one in the day). Also, I want the indicator to do this process everyday. i really appreciate any help. The below attached code works exactly as I want, it is placed after the close of the first 4h in the day, however, it changes after another 4h close ( and i want to eliminate that)
The code you have shown in an image is for an EA and not an indicator. Indicators should use the the OnCalculate() event handler, not the OnTick() which is for EAs.
Also, instead of using graphic objects, use indicator buffers so that you will be able to see the values of the historical data and not just the current data.
Analyse other examples of MQL5 Indicators in the Codebase for a reference for your own code.
