Demo_IndicatorSetInteger - MetaTrader 5 Script - MT4/MT5 Resources

An example of the IndicatorSetInteger() function. A simple indicator that shows how to create labels such as "overbought levels" for each horizontal level.

Using the #property compiler directive for indicators drawn in separate windows you can specify the color, style and width of the horizontal level, for example:

 //--- Set display of three horizontal levels in separate indicator windows #attribute indicator_level1 20
#Property Indicator Level 2 50
#Property Indicator Level 3 80
//--- Set the width of the horizontal line
# Property indicator level width 5
//--- Set the color of the horizontal line
#propertyindicator_levelcolor clr alice- blue
//--- Set the style of the horizontal line

Additionally, IndicatorSetInteger() Functions can dynamically set styles for each level

 //--- Set the level color indicator set integer ( INDICATOR_LEVLCOLOR , level, level color);
Indicator set integer ( INDICATOR_LEVLSTYLE , level, level_style);

The style of horizontal lines can be enumerated via ENUM_LINE_STYLE :

STYLE_DASHDOTDOT

dash – two dots

When using the #property directive, properties (modifiers) are numbered starting from 1 (one), and functions are numbered from 0 (zero). If the level numbers are set incorrectly, the resulting metrics may be different than expected.

For example, to set the width of the first horizontal line, use index zero:

 //--- Index 0 is used to set the width indicator set integer of the first layer ( INDICATOR_LEVELWIDTH , 0 , 5 );
