How to reduce length of murray math lines

 

Hi,

i'm trying to edit a mml indicator, the only thing i would like to do is to reduce the length of the horizontal lines as of now they are running across the whole chart. Which i don't really like as it can be sometimes hard to read . So i would like some help on how to code them to be shorter..I'am not asking for someone to do it for me, i'd like to be explain how to do it so i can learn..thanks

Here is the coding of the indicator.

// ============================================================================================

// * Line 8/8 & 0/8 (Ultimate Support and Ultimate Resistance).

// * Those lines are the most strong concerning Support and esistance.

// ============================================================================================

//* Line 7/8  (Weak, Place to Stop and Reverse).

//* This line is weak. If suddenly the price was going too fast and too far and stops around this line 

//* it means the price will reverse down very soon. If the price did not stop near this line this price 

//* will continue the movement to the line 8/8.

// ============================================================================================

//* Line 1/8  (Weak, Place to Stop and Reverse).

//* This line is weak. If suddenly the price was going too fast and too far and stops around this line 

//* it means the price will reverse up very soon. If the price did not stop near this line this price

//* will continue the movement down to the line 0/8.

// ============================================================================================

//* Line 2/8 and 6/8 (Pivot, Reverse)

//* Those two lines yield the line 4/8 only to the strength to reverse the price movement.

// ============================================================================================

//* Line 5/8 (Top of Trading Range)

//* The price is spending the about 40% of the time on the movement between the lines 5/8 and 3/8. 

//* If the price is moving near line 5/8 and stopping near the line during the 10 - 12 days so it means 

//* that it is necessary to sell in this "bonus zone" (some people are doing like this) but if the price is keeping the tendency to stay above 

//* 5/8 line, so it means that the price will be above. But if the price is droping below 5/8 line it means that the price will continue 

//* falling to the next level of resistance.

// ============================================================================================

//* Line 3/8 (Bottom of Trading Range).

//* If the price is below this line and in uptrend it means that it will be very difficult for the price to break this level. 

//* If the price broke this line during the uptrend and staying above during the 10 12 days it means that the price will be above this line 

//* during the 40% of its time moving between this line and 5/8 line.

// ============================================================================================

//* Line 4/8 (Major Support/Resistance Line).

//* It is the major line concerning support and resistance. This leve is the better for the new sell or buy. 

//* It is the strong level of support of the price is above 4/8. It is the fine resistance line if the price is below this 4/8 line.

jokergbck: i would like to do is to reduce the length of the horizontal lines ... explain how to do it
Here is the coding of the indicator.

ObjectCreate(buff_str, OBJ_HLINE, 0,Time[0], mml[i]);
  1. Don't paste code
    Play video
    Please edit your post.
    For large amounts of code, attach it.

  2. Use trend lines (OBJ_TREND) instead of horizontal lines so you can control the start and end dates.
 
OK, thank you.. i'll try that
 

Hi,

i did make the change but now it's displaying trendline which is not really what i was looking for. i'm posting a chart so you can see what it look like.

I just would like the horizontal line to be shorter

thanks guys  

without modificationwith OBJ_TREND

  2. Use trend lines (OBJ_TLINE) instead of horizontal lines so you can control the start and end dates.
 
anyone? please
 
jokergbck:
anyone? please

The answer from WHRoeder is the good one, but you have to apply it correctly. A trend line needs 2 points (time, price). For an horizontal line the price should be the same, and you have to set time1 and time2 at the start and end point.

You also have to set the OBJPROP_RAY to false.

Sorry, i tried but there is no option edit near the post.Only reply :(
 

ho well !

jokergbck:
Sorry, i tried but there is no option edit near the post.Only reply :(

use these extern to control the lines

extern int thickness_write = 9;
extern int shift_write = 200;
extern int line_first = 400;
extern int line_last = 100;
extern bool line_rayon = false;

 here it is, good trades :
