Return price of a hand drawn line

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to have the price value of a hand drawn horizontal line returned for use in a custom indicator,

I have been searching but no luck so far, please advise if you know a way, Cheers Simon

Yes, it is possible! It is a matter of coding it. Your choices are:

  • To learn MQL coding, in order to do it yourself (which can take a long time if you have no knowledge or experience with it)
  • To hire someone to code it for you (by going to the Freelance section and placing a Job request)

If you decide to code it yourself, the following steps may help you:

  1. Manually create the Horizontal Line and give the object a specific unique and identifiable name (after that, you would only move the line, every time you wanted a price change).
  2. In the Custom Indicator, the code would:
    1. Use the "ObjectFind()" to get the specified named object.
    2. Use the "ObjectGetDouble()" with the "OBJPROP_PRICE" property, to get the price for the object found in the previous step.

Hi Fernando,

I'm going to learn how to code it myself and thanks for your help here. That seems be be what I was looking for.

Cheers, Simon
