    Hi Guys,

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    I want a vertical line to represent when I personally start trading and another when I finish trading.

    So simply how to plot a vertical line in any colour at any time that repeats each day.

    I have the MT4 code Time_vLines.mq4 if required

    Many Thanks

    Not possible until version 10.3 to plot vertical line. But maybe this code snippet would do the trick: (didn’t test it)

    plottime = 093000 //exact time to plot the vertical line 

if time=plottime then 
 value = close*100
else
 value = 0
endif 

return value

    Make the value plot as a line or an histogram .. tell us if it’s good for you!

    Hi Nicolas,

    Thanks for your reply.  I have tried multiple variations on your code snippet, but was unhappy with the distortion on the price chart, due to the histogram referencing zero.  I then realised that I don’t actually need it for live trading at all it’s actually only whilst reviewing past activity.  So I opted for a tape indicator beneath my price chart.

    This will serve my purpose very well until 10.3 and I thank you you for your prompt assistance.

    Please find the code below

    // Session Indicator
// t1 start of my shift (set variable hhmmss)
// t2 end of my shift (set variable hhmmss)

starttime = t1

endtime = t2

if time > starttime and time < endtime then
value = 1

else
value = 0
endif

return value

    I suppose if anyone had a mind to they could quite easily adjust the variables for Asia, Euro and US Time zones if required

    Thanks again Nicolas
