Plotting a Weekly Vertical Time Marker in MetaTrader 5

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document describes a chart indicator that draws a vertical line at a specified time on each day of a selected week. It uses indicator buffers with a two-part histogram drawing style to create the lines. The author recommends adding it to the main chart before attaching other indicators, while noting that it can also be dragged into an indicator’s separate chart window.

The material explains how to place and view the indicator, with figure references for both chart locations. It does not provide a trading signal, market analysis, performance evidence, or details about configuring the specified time. Its value is therefore practical and limited to chart annotation: the lines can help mark a recurring time for visual reference, but the document does not establish that the marker improves trading decisions.

  • It uses indicator buffers and a two-part histogram drawing style to render the lines.
