Does anyone know how to modify this indicator so that the big and mid figure lines show only as a short line of reference?!

Do you have the MQL4 version of the file? Or just the compiled version?

I wrote a "Figures" script, which places the lines after the last price, as I found the available indicators cluttered the screen.

Place in the scripts directory and compile.
double click to place or remove Figures lines

Source code included below.
EDIT: - just realised that there is a small error.
if you are using a 4 digit broker change:
if(Digits == 4) {points = pips/1000 ; return(NormalizeDouble(points,Digits));}
to
if(Digits == 4) {points = pips/10000; return(NormalizeDouble(points,Digits));}

ditto for a 5 digit broker, although will work without the change.

Thanks Rod thats pretty damn useful! especially the ability to turn on and off, do you know if this can be done via a button on a toolbar or just through the navigator?

Also, is it possible to make the lines thinner and change the colour/style?


Jack I just have the compiled version but it looks as though Rods got something even better!

The line thickness, and much more, can be configured at runtime, if you un-comment
#property show_inputs. refer to the code.

Alternatively you can permanently change the following values in the code
extern int InstroFigure_Line_Width = 2 ;
extern int MidFigure_Line_Width = 3 ;
extern int BigFigure_Line_Width = 4 ;

ditto for colours etc. All my stuff is configured for a white screen background, so you may desire to change colours if you use a black background etc.

I wrote the script from scratch a couple of years ago and now use it without much thinking about it. Upon revisiting I realised that it need a few minor tweaks. Attached is the latest version.

Maybe one of these days I will get around to coding a button on the toolbar, this was somewhat difficult to code in MT4 build pre 600.

Another option is to assign a Hotkey to the script.

Right click on the script and select create Hotkey.

Attached is a list of built-in Hotkeys. Suggest that you do not overwrite those that are already assigned.

Rod you are a legend.

BTW Rod Ive tried assigning hot keys to indicators and it only opens the edit window, is hot key functionality exclusive to scripts?

An Indicator can be attached to a Chart via a Hotkey, although not much value in using Hotkeys for Indicators, imho.

Suspect you are referring to the Inputs Dialog; ie not the MetaEditor window.

refer to below link for information on the use of Hotkeys.

If you desire to extend the use of Hotkeys via Widows, I suggest -

Rod, is it possible to add labels to the institutional levels ? ie 20, 50, 80, 00

The reason is that on a HD monitor MT4 prices are almost unreadable so labels to quickly identify levels would be useful.

Thanks for your time I do appreciate it.

The 20 and 80 are thin, 50 medium, and Big Figure a thick line.
Furthermore, place the cursor on the line and the prices will display. Additionally, the beginning of the bubble's second line displays the figures ie 20,80, 50 or 00.

OK - I'll dig it out
The one I now use is integrated into a library. Give me a day or two.

Nevertheless the old version should still work, so check the following:

MT4 updates often change these settings.

Works a treat! The switchable line length is a nice touch, I like yer style Rod. :)

No problem

If you want the WAV files and instructions for the proper 'click' sound, let me know.
