What is D1_x10_HiLo_TrendLines?
D1_x10_HiLo_TrendLines connects daily highs and lows to display higher-timeframe reference lines on an MT4 chart. The lines bring daily structure into the active timeframe without requiring manual drawing.
The display is based on historical daily high-low points and is intended for chart context. The package includes an .ex4 file.
How to use D1_x10_HiLo_TrendLines
Compare the daily high and low lines with the active candles and nearby chart structure. The display can be useful when a lower timeframe needs a compact view of daily references.
Days_1_10 controls the number of days shown and MaxTimeFrame limits the display to the selected timeframe. The Inputs dialog also shows line, button, and current-day presentation settings.
Where it helps
Daily high-low references remain visible on the active chart.
The indicator connects the selected historical points automatically.
Days_1_10 and MaxTimeFrame limit the displayed reference set.
