Can I create an OBJ_FIBO without the 23.6% level?

New comment
 

Hi guys,

is it somehow possible to change the default creation of an OBJ_FIBO with only 38/50/61 levels? I tried to delete one level by using OBJPROP_LEVELS but this value is always zero after creating an OBJ_FIBO.

Any ideas? Maybe I can change the original code from Metaquotes in the library because I never use the 23.6 fibo level?

 

Yes just (re)-code as indicator and edit out the unwanted parts.

If you don't know how you can talk to someone over here.

If you want to give it a try yourself you can see Fibonacci over here

Thank you, I know it's pretty easy to code it but I was wondering if I could use the built-in-Fibos and just modify the levels easily. Obviously it's not possible.

 
Obviously not.
 

It is not clear if you are asking about modifying a fibo by code or the object properties when placing the fibo on the chart manually.

By code you will find example in the documentation.

If adding a fibo to the chart manually, delete the level that you don't want, then every fibo that you add afterwards will not show that level.

Sorry, I thought it was clear because I used the term OBJ_FIBO.

I wanted to create a fibo retracement by ObjectCreate() and wanted to delete the 23.6 level because it always appears when using ObjectCreate(). But in the meantime I made a small tool which calculates the three main fibo levels and draws three lines on the chart.

Then you posted

That's why I wasn't sure and my answer was using the built-in Fibo from the toolbar.

 

I've thrown this together.

This is as an indicator, but you may prefer it as a Script or whatever. Anyway, it should give you some ideas and I am sure that you will be able to integrate some of it into your code.

You will need to draw a standard Fibo on your chart and then put the name of that fibo in the input, then the fibo should be redrawn with the new levels when the indicator is re-initialized.

I hope that it helps.

 

And you could also use the Fibo class...


#include <chartobjects/chartobjectsfibo.mqh>
class MyFibo : public CChartObjectFibo {
public: bool create(const double &levels[]) { 
      bool res = true;
      res &= this.Create(0, "MyFibo", 0, 0, 0.0, 0, 0.0);
      int total = ArraySize(levels);
      res &= this.LevelsCount(total);
      res &= this.RayRight(true);
      for(int i=0; i<total; i++) {
         res &= this.LevelValue(i, levels[i]);
         res &= this.LevelDescription(i, string(levels[i]));
      }
      return res;
   }
};

MyFibo fibo;

int OnInit()
{
   double levels[] = {0.382, 0.5, 0.618};
   if(!fibo.create(levels))
      return INIT_FAILED;
   return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

void OnTick()
{
   int i1 = iLowest(_Symbol, _Period, MODE_LOW, 20);
   int i2 = iHighest(_Symbol, _Period, MODE_HIGH, 20);
   fibo.Time(0, iTime(_Symbol, _Period, i1));
   fibo.Price(0, iLow(_Symbol, _Period, i1));
   fibo.Time(1, iTime(_Symbol, _Period, i2));
   fibo.Price(1, iHigh(_Symbol, _Period, i2));
}

Thank you very much.
