Draw Rectangle based on custom indicator

[Jay_C]

Hi Guys,

I am struggling to piece together a way to have a rectangle drawn and projected forward for the upcoming week and month based upon a custom indicator. It could also be horizontal lines projected as that would work as well.

I need the lines/rectangle projected forward from the weekly/monthly indicator closing level of a few points. Possible?

Note: I am a complete newbie when it comes to this program and I have worked through the how to section already.

Thanks

@jay_c I guess it is possible, but I'm afraid this is my weakest point in fxDreema. Do you mean a 'moving' rectangle as new candles are formed?

[Jay_C]

@l-andorrà
No the rectangle or lines would not move. The box or lines would be fixed until next period, which would be week or month.
Let me see if I can be more clear, lets say I want the area between pivot points highlighted by either horizontal lines or a rectangle for previous week/month, but displayed in the current week/month.
So in this example I would want the area between Weekly S1 and R1 highlighted by lines or box but projected forward into current week/month.

Hopefully that is more clear.

Thanks

@jay_c Can you please upload an image showing that?

[Jay_C]

Okay let me upload an image.

@jay_c Ok. And I guess the rectangle is supposed to grow in width, not in hight. Correct?

[Jay_C]

Correct, the height is fixed by the close of the indicator at end of week or month.
The width will grow as time moves forward and eventually close again and redraw with new weekly period.

@jay_c Well, I'm afraid drawing objects is not my field of expertise here. Here you will find some useful info:
