//| This indicator was originaly called the HiLoH4.mq4 created by Rob Judd
//| to show the last four hours' Hi and Lo on the chart. THANK YOU ROB !!
//|
//| Accrete hacked the code to ad the Median line and also the ability
//| to change the look back time to include a user variable in the pop up
//| dialog box for breakout trading on 1 hour or more boxes.
//| File can be found at Accrete.com in indicator section with kudos
//| mentioned to Rob for original code. Renamed : ATM_HiLoXTF.mq4 by Accrete
