Vertical Time Line

Vertical Time Lines – indicator MetaTrader 4

by
  • Indicator can draws up to six different vertical lines each at a designated time.
  • Each vertical line can be historically repeated.
  • Time format: hh:mm.
  • The default historical days Input is 50. Increase as required. Aging equipment may suffer performance at too high a number. 

Possible use:

  1. Mark session open or close time.
  2. Mark time of regular news release.
  3. Mark any other relevant time.

Note – Answer to a question:

  • A Vertical Time Line set at 09:30 on a timeframe of M30 or lesser will read as 09:30 because each timeframe will have a a candle that opens/starts at 09:30.
  • A Vertical Time Line set at 09:30 on a timeframes of H1 or greater will not read as 09:30 because each timeframe will not have a candle that opens/starts at 09:30. ie. A Vertical Time Line set at 09:30 on a H1 timeframe will read as 09:00 because 09:30 is within the 09:00 – 10:00 candle and the candle open/start time is 09:00.

Comment:

The present code accommodate up to six vertical lines. To code in more lines repeat the relevant blocks of code and rename where applicable.
