Hello, in mt4 when using filled areas been using a histogram to fill the areas with an enlarged width setting but can possibly fill the area using object-oriented solid type fill, is this what you are asking? Using this type of fill uses more CPU in mt4 where in mt5 it is a standard feature.mazibee wrote: Sat Dec 20, 2025 7:25 am Dear MrTools,
First of all, thank you very much for the excellent indicators and tools you have shared with the community over the years and fulfilling my previous requests.
If time permits, I would be very grateful if you could consider enhancing any one of the existing Fractal Channel indicators that you have already coded and shared.
Specifically, I was wondering if it would be possible to modify any Fractal Channel indicator to draw filled Fractal Boxes, using straight vertical boundaries instead of the current slanting or sloping vertical lines.
I have come across a few Fractal Channel indicators on the forum, and it would be wonderful if this filled box feature could be added to any one of them.

post1295475357.html#p1295475357, (This one plots a filled version but need box like straight vertical lines)
The idea is for the indicator to visually resemble Fractal Boxes, where each box is formed using the previous two confirmed fractals (as shown in the attached screenshot). Since fractals repaint and are only confirmed after the close of the second bar, it would be very helpful to have an option that:
I have attached the screen shot as picture explains better than words and might be I am unable to explain my point clearly.
Uses the confirmed fractal status only after the second bar closes for adjusting the high /low of the fileld fractal box
Until confirmation, the filled area extends based on the previous confirmed fractal high and low
Once a new fractal is confirmed, the filled box automatically adjusts to reflect the newly confirmed .
Option for Look Back period/ bars to plot the filled area.
I fully understand your time constraints and will be extremely thankful if this enhancement is possible at your convenience.
Thank you once again for your continued support and valuable contributions to the community.

I am extremely grateful to you and all the other senior coders for selflessly sharing the source of these indicators and fulfilling the request of the users day and night.
Since last night, after I posted my request, I asked AI to modify the Fractal Channel Breakout indicator to make it similar to the image I shared.
I also asked AI to make it plot after the confirmed fractal.
There are some black lines appearing , I have no idea what they are and despite asking AI, was unable to remove.
In the image, the rectangle objects are plotted one bar earlier than the bar on which the fractal actually appears, giving a complete staircase-like look with no breaks, either horizontal or vertical.
However, I don’t have enough coding knowledge to enhance it and make it exactly like the image.
So, I’m sharing the AI generated code here so that Master can have a look and work the magic.
Thanks once again for your time and sorry for bothering you with my requests.
Stay blessed always.
