datetime dt = (datetime)ObjectGetInteger(ChartID(), "trendline_name", OBJPROP_TIME, 1);

ChartID()

thanks for your help...but sorry am not a programmer iv change your code to 

     datetime dt = (datetime)ObjectGetInteger(ChartID(), "ObjName", OBJPROP_TIME, 1);

some time  when i change the  value 

extern double Barsahead

and i get a date of   2024.06.02 10:01....

from the terminal  the result is  in yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm  with an extra menute  (10:01) ...but am using a H1 chart only

as when i insert 90 for Barseahead which extend the horizontal trend line outside the range of existing bars 

you can tray it 

 
abd-:
int xxx=Barsahead+Barsahead*PeriodSeconds();

This line is meaningless. Barsahead is in units of bar count. While PeriodSeconds is in seconds unit.

If you are using AI generative code please don't... You should study well organized handbooks if you want to learn coding.

hi and thanks for your help  ....this line of code was giving to me by a group member ..and before the use of AI code generation  ^-^.

some times i think about  learn coding but because i dont have enough time and at the same time my code is simple and not requierd deep understanding of  coding i went over the internet to find a solution for any problem about that .

thanks for your help 

 
Anyway I couldn't understand your problem and what output you expect.

hi

thanks for your kindness in trying to help me ..i appreciate ....and sorry for my weak English which cause this misunderstanding .

i attached a pic which explain the problem ...and  i will tray to solve it  as i think the problem is emerging from this line 

int xxx=Barsahead+Barsahead*PeriodSeconds();

as  you said  ;

Barsahead is in units of bar count. While PeriodSeconds is in seconds unit.

thanks very much

xxx=Barsahead+Barsahead*PeriodSeconds()
Try this : xxx=Barsahead*PeriodSeconds()
 
Yashar Seyyedin #:
Try this : xxx=Barsahead*PeriodSeconds()

this work very good and solve the problem......

thanks very much and appreciated
