1 Attachment(s ) ) Hello!!

There is some indior that draws straight lines every n bars???

Thank you for your help.

I attempt to code in MT4 but the indior doesn´t operate properly.

//-- plot Section
#property indior_label1 Section
#property indior_type1 DRAW_SECTION

input int bars=5; // The length of sections in bars
input int N=5; // The number of ticks to change the style of sections
//-- An indior buffer for the plot

//-- An array to store colors

//-- The number of the bar from which the calculation of indior values starts

EDIT: nvm you already defined draw section at the beginning. It's quite hard to read code in this way.

Solved.

Currently the only issue I see, is that not refresh at last pub....

For me personally, it's simpler to observe the market with this indior, less noise.

Perhaps, some fantastic coder can address the issue which not mend properly the segments, add colors ( down or up ) etc

Thanks for your attempts. .

In mq4, although something like this..
