Metatrader 4 - Tools and Utilities

This document summarises the functionality of my go-to Metatrader 4 tools and utilities that I have developed for everyday use in my own personal trading. Contact [email protected] for details.
Use LMBFPesist with LMBFWatchlist for better results
When using the watchlist indicator, to avoid issues with lines from one symbol appearing on a different symbols charts (a Metatrader quirk), use LMBFPersist to manage the objects behind t scenes ensuring that only objects for the correct symbol appear on the chart at any one time.
****** LMBFObjectSync replaced by LMBFPersist****
LMBFPersist replaces LMBFObjectSync. It includes the same functionality of replicating objects across charts. It also has other benefits in that it keeps a record of all chart objects by symbol in the back ground and can use this to redraw the objects when the indicator is placed on any other chart, even in a different profile.

************ NEWS FLASH  12 May 2021 ************
The new version of LMBF Watchlist (v5 ) has just been released. This now allows you to quickly navigate between using the same watchlists across all the different time frames. For example, set your trend indicators independently on daily, weekly and H4 charts, color code your favourite pairs for each time frame and then move seamlessly between the different timeframes using arrows on the charts. 
Purchase the latest version of the LMBF watchlist here for just AU $50

************NEWS FLASH  25 April 2021************
I have just released the LMBF Shift Sync indicator.  Purchase this tool here​
Add this utility indicator to each of a group of charts displayed on your terminal. Then, whenever you scroll one chart, all the others will scroll to display candles for the same point in time. 
A vertical line assists with making it easy to compare price action at the same point in time on different charts. There are two obvious examples where this can be used. 
First, when multiple charts for the same symbol but different time frames are displayed on your screen and you wish to compare the price action in one timeframe against the price action on a higher or lower timeframe at the same point in time without manually having to scroll each chart.
Second, when multiple charts for different symbols but the same time frames are displayed on your screen and you want to compare the price action at a point in time for those different symbols. For example, you may have charts for all EUR pairs and you want to see which other currency the EUR is performing best against at a specific time. Once again, this utility means the candles displayed on each chart are all synchronised to the same point in time.
This utility can be purchased directly on this link. Once payment is made, the utility will be emailed to you immediately.

Analyse correlation between symbols by connecting multiple charts by time frame such that changing the period on one chart instantly changes the period on all the other linked charts at the same time.

LMBFSymbolSync - https://youtu.be/RqILeQIuXko​
View the big picture and the smaller timeframe simultaneously on your screen by connecting multiple charts on the symbol and having changes to the symbol on one chart instantly changes the symbol on all the other linked charts as well.
Use a cross-hair to pinpoint the same time and price point on charts showing different timeframes for the same symbol. 
LMBFObjectSync - https://youtu.be/RhtCMGq1seY​
Connect multiple charts of the same symbol together to automatically see changes to drawing objects on any one of the charts be instantly replicated to all the other linked charts. This includes creating, deleting, updating, resizing or moving of objects.
Instantly copy all previously existing graphical objects for the active chart to all other open charts of the same symbol where either this indicator or LMBFDraw has been attached.
