ChartXYToTimePrice() does not work

Which build are you using ? It works for me with 610 and 614, but the ellipse is flattened as you are using the same time for both points

Maybe it is to do with the variable sub_window ?

Try sub_window = 0

I'm using Build 883.

I also tried with x1=250 (time1) and x2=350 (time2) but still does not work.

Does not work.

works just fine for me (maybe u have to change the color to see it)

Unfortunately, nothing to do, to me it does not work, even with other colors.

Which MT4 build ? 883 is for MetaEditor.

   ChartXYToTimePrice(0,x,y1,sub_window,time,price1);
   ChartXYToTimePrice(0,x,y2,sub_window,time,price2);

   ChartRedraw(0);
  }// End of OnStart

Sorry, MT4+ (JFD Brokers) Build 600.

I tried again with a new Script file, instead of an Expert Advisor, but nothing to do.

Strange, very very strange!

Current build is 610. Maybe there is a bug in 600 with Ellipse or ChartXYTimeToPrice, nothing strange.

I need help with ChartXYToTimePrice.

I want to step a horizontal line down a number of times from top to bottom of screen.

I made a function, but it does not work.

   int m = 0;
   int y = startYoffset+Ystep+Yoffset;
   int x = 0;
   datetime dt = 0;
   double price = 0;
   int window = 0;
   string name = "test_line ";
   int number = 1;
   for(int i=0;i<length;i++) {
      ChartXYToTimePrice(0,x,y,window,dt,price);
      if(ObjectFind(name+number) == -1) {
         ObjectCreate(0,name+number, OBJ_HLINE, window, dt, price);
         ObjectSetInteger(0,name+number,OBJPROP_COLOR,HLcolor);
      }
      Ystep+=h;   
   }
}

Please let me know if you have any insights as to where I went wrong (me knowing only old MQL4 and not new MQL4/MQL5, and this is first new MQL4 function I've tried to implement into my code).

Thanks in Advance!

Kindest regards,

Don
