Need code for drawing horizontal lines for hidden s/l and t/p ...
digitalmythology:
Greetings, This is my first post, hope I get it right! I am coding an EA that uses hidden s/l and hidden t/p. I would like to draw horizontal lines of different colors for these values, say Green for entry, Red for stoploss, and gold for takeprofit. YES, I am well aware that they could be automatically drawn if I just place a s/l and t/p with my broker, but quite frankly I don't particulary want to go broke. Sometimes it works, sometimes not ... Lines are sometimes placed in wrong place or not at all.Sometimes only t/p line is placed, sometimes none are placed.Sometimes has different effect on different timeframes / currency pairs ??!? What am I doing wrong ? Please help ... If you need any account info :Accont Type : Demo / StandardBroker Digits : 5 digit brokerBroker : GoMarketsTimeFrame : 1H (Would like it to be correct for all Timeframes) Anyway, here is the code for my Draw_Lines() function :

Sometimes it works, sometimes not ...
Lines are sometimes placed in wrong place or not at all.
Sometimes only t/p line is placed, sometimes none are placed.
Sometimes has different effect on different timeframes / currency pairs ??!?
What am I doing wrong ? Please help ...
