Nobody ??
 
angevoyageur: I recommend to all not answer such thing that "use google or use this and you will have found this", it's absolutely not useful. Ignore it.

lol...I think you missed my point.

Great forum !!!


Congratulations.


A lot of people find this form useful, but they ask sensible questions.

You may as well ask "Is there an indicator that draws wiggly lines on a chart?"

You show an example chart image that has random length lines, apparently placed randomly with no explanation.

I don't know of any such indicator.

Sorry, I believe that this forum  was like another mlq4 forums ( for example .ru ) more dynamic and interactive where you can do a lot of type of "sensible" questions. Thanks for your replies... I found the answer of my question...

Best regards..

 

Anyone can say me why this indicator not draws correctly ??

Thanks for your attention..

  
//#property indicator_type1   DRAW_LINE
#property indicator_type1   DRAW_SECTION

I believe that you want to draw sections, not lines 

   //PlotIndexSetDouble(0,PLOT_EMPTY_VALUE,0);

 I don't think that this is supported in mq4

         //else SectionBuffer[i]=0;
         else SectionBuffer[i]=EMPTY_VALUE;

 by using zero, lines will be drawn from zero, use EMPTY_VALUE

 Not tested

 

Works perfectly !!!

Really , really thanks.
