MA Lines MTF

Features

• 9 MA10 horizontal lines for M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN1 — one color per timeframe, dashed across the full chart.
• Lines track the MA of the live candle, updating on ticks and on a timer so they keep moving in thin sessions.
• Timeframe labels pinned to the left edge, recomputed on scroll/zoom; hover a line for a tooltip with its price.
• UP/DOWN badge in the lower-left: a timeframe reads UP (green) when price sits above its MA10, DOWN (red) below.
• Jitter filter: lines redraw only once the MA moves past a tick threshold, labels shift only on a new bar — no flicker.
• Auto-loads history for timeframes MT5 hasn't synced; on a short read it holds the last value and marks it ~ instead of dropping the line.
• Hide timeframes below the chart's own TF in one switch, or toggle each timeframe individually.
• Switch the MA period to 20/50… and it works right away, with the on-chart name following along.

Guide

1. Download ma-lines.ex5 to your computer.
2. Open MetaTrader 5, go to File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Indicators.
3. Copy the .ex5 file into the Indicators folder, go back to MT5 and right-click Navigator → Refresh.
4. Fastest way: double-click MA Lines MTF in the Navigator — the 9 MA lines appear on the current chart.
5. (Or just drag MA Lines MTF from the Navigator onto a chart.)
6. The first attach may take a few seconds while MT5 downloads enough D1/W1/MN1 history — the badge shows a ~ meanwhile, and the lines settle once it finishes.
7. If the chart gets busy, turn some off with ShowD1/ShowW1/ShowMN1, or enable HideLowerTF to auto-hide timeframes below the one you're viewing.
8. Note: test on a demo account before going live.
