It is not clear whether you intend to draw your lines with a trend line or a buffer
ycloseBuffer[i] = iClose(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,1); yhighBuffer[i] = iHigh(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,1); ylowBuffer[i] = iLow(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,1);
These will all get values for index 1 on the daily chart, not related to i at all
datetime timeStart = CreateDateTime(0,0); datetime timeEnd = CreateDateTime(23,0);
We don't know what these functions do, but again do not appear to relate to i
ObjectCreate(ob_yc,OBJ_TREND,0,timeStart,yclose,timeEnd,yclose); ObjectCreate(ob_yh,OBJ_TREND,0,timeStart,yhigh,timeEnd,yhigh); ObjectCreate(ob_yl,OBJ_TREND,0,timeStart,ylow,timeEnd,ylow);
Where do the values for yclose etc come from?

Ive included the whole code so as you can see where the values come from. Im trying to use iClose(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,1); to draw a trend line as a buffer setting.
The datetime timeStart = CreateDateTime(0,0); is found in an include file and sets the time coordinates for the parameters at ObjectCreate(ob_yc,OBJ_TREND,0,timeStart,yclose,timeEnd,yclose);
yclose is set at start of code as double yclose = iClose(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,1);
.

In the following code im trying to create an indicator that writes the previous days close, high and lows so as it displays all previous days on chart at once instead of only one at a time. The code below writes close, high and low okay but its only for the previous day.
I cant figure out how to display all previous days?
