"I assume that you are plotting from a fixed location back in the history?"

To limit lag?

I like how you have it in the main window and not running in a smaller separate window at the bottom of the main chart.

Yes, thanks for taking the time and effort to code it.

Bredin,

I think you probably had been following along but I thought I'd list some of the issues with the 2 other MT4 indis we tested:

-They would not match a manually created P&F chart (boxes at levels they shouldn't be at, etc.)

-They would cause MT4 to run really slow.

-They would morph, the shape would actually change as time went by.

-They would plot random large spikes that did not match the PA on time based charts.

I just compared LazyGeorge to Pebble to Jalarupa as we have all been plotting the EU.

There is differences in areas.

I am using MB Nav Pro for mine. I suspect different brokers are going to have different data.

From the start of the week, I have checked mine at least twice over, just in doing the different testing of ideas, so I would have corrected any mistakes.

But the MT4 indi should match your manual ones since it is the same feed.

In theory at least, maybe someone else can verify this.

When I talked to my broker before they told me MT4 was the same feed, but with MB Trading support staff it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't actually know :)

Hi PT,

Yep,unless we use a particular broker feed they will always vary slightly :(

Any suggestions?
