Drawing a Line on Chart

New comment
 

Hi all

I have managed to produce a code to draw two horizontal lines on a chart at the highest and lowest candle. This is what I want but only want to check the candles between 10am and 11am. this needs to reset the next day at 9:30. Please could someone help with this.

thanks in advance

void OnTick()  
  {
  
datetime TenAM=iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M5,0)+ 36000;
datetime ElevenAM =iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M5,0)+39600;



   MqlRates PriceInformation[];  //create an array for the price data
     
   ArraySetAsSeries(PriceInformation,true);  //sort the array current candle downwards  
   int Data = CopyRates(Symbol(),Period(),0,40,PriceInformation); //fill the array with price data
   
   
   int HighestCandle;      //create variable for highest price
   double High[];           //create array for price data
   ArraySetAsSeries(High,true);     //sort array from current candle downwards
   CopyHigh(Symbol(),Period(),0,20,High);    //fill the array with the high prices
   HighestCandle = ArrayMaximum(High,0,20);  //get the highest candle price

 
         ObjectCreate(0,"High",OBJ_HLINE,0,0,PriceInformation[HighestCandle].high); //set object properties
         ObjectSetInteger(0,"High",OBJPROP_WIDTH,2);              //set object width
         ObjectSetInteger(0,"High",OBJPROP_COLOR,clrIndigo);      //set object colour
      
         ObjectMove (0,"High",0,0,PriceInformation[HighestCandle].high);    //move the line
 
 
   int LowestCandle;      //create variable for highest price
   double Low[];           //create array for price data
   ArraySetAsSeries(Low,true);     //sort array from current candle downwards
   CopyLow(Symbol(),Period(),0,20,Low);    //fill the array with the high prices
   LowestCandle = ArrayMinimum(Low,0,20);  //get the lowest candle price

 
         ObjectCreate(0,"Low",OBJ_HLINE,0,0,PriceInformation[LowestCandle].low); //set object properties
         ObjectSetInteger(0,"Low",OBJPROP_WIDTH,2);              //set object width
         ObjectSetInteger(0,"Low",OBJPROP_COLOR,clrIndigo);      //set object colour
      
         ObjectMove (0,"Low",0,0,PriceInformation[LowestCandle].low);    //move the line

When a graphical object is created using the ObjectCreate() function, it's necessary to specify the type of object being created, which can be one of the values of the ENUM_OBJECT enumeration. Further specifications of object properties are possible using functions for working with graphical objects.

if ((TimeLocal()
 >= TenAM

) && (TimeLocal()
 <= ElevenAM))

{

//your code...

}

You are calculating datetimes in the future.
That result will change every new M5 bar. 
datetime TenAM=iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M5,0)+ 36000;
datetime ElevenAM =iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M5,0)+39600;
Compute your hours from today's date.
date/time (2017)
          Find bar of the same time one day ago - MQL4 programming forum (2017) 

datetime today    =date();
datetime TenAM    =today+36000;
datetime ElevenAM =today+39600;
 

Does anyone have a code example that execute order when touching a chart line?
