The bars are being drawn every Ten_H4 bars ... is that what you're having problems with?

yes i want to draw VLINE every Ten bar, i can make it only appear in H4 then that would be great.

is it possible to draw it only after Bar[1] ??

Yeah, draw it on Bar[2] and then every Ten bars back. Like bar 12 && 22. Remember the 1st bar on the chart is bar[0] and not bar 1.

```
ObjectCreate  ("خط عمودي", OBJ_VLINE, 0,D'2014.01.15 00:00',0) ;
```
Won't work because you use one object name which means one object. You need unique names like name+time.
yes i want to draw VLINE every Ten bar,
Not every ten bars. Won't adjust for bars before the week end, nor holidays, nor short Sunday bar (server TZ dependent.)
i can make it only appear in H4 then that would be great.
RTFM. Why ONLY? wouldn't you want them to appear on lower timeframe charts also?

```
iLAST_BAR 2
```

Not compiled, not tested.

#define iDIST_BAR 10 // Distance between H4 markers
#define iLAST_BAR 0  // Last bar done.
datetime H4MarkerLast;  void OnInitH4Marker(){  H4MarkerLast=0;   }
void     OnTickH4Marker(){ // Per tick or per bar
   for(iBar = iBarShift(NULL,0, H4MarkerLast) - 1; iBar >= iLAST_BAR; iBar--){
      if(H4MarkerLast == 0)   datetime nextSeperator  = 0x6FFFFFFF;
      else                             nextSeperator  = H4MarkerLast
                                                   + iDIST_BAR * PERIOD_H4 * 60;
      int   dowPre = TimeDayOfWeek( Time[iBar+1] ),
            dowCur = TimeDayOfWeek( Time[iBar  ] );
      if(dowCur < dowPre)  nextSeperator = Time[iBar];   // Beginning of week.
      if(Time[iBar] < nextSeperator)   continue;
      H4MarkerLast = Time[iBar];
      string name = "خط عمودي" + H4MarkerLast;
      ObjectCreate  (name, OBJ_VLINE, 0, H4MarkerLast,0);
      ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES, OBJ_PERIOD_M1 + OBJ_PERIOD_M5
               + OBJ_PERIOD_M15 + OBJ_PERIOD_M30 + OBJ_PERIOD_H1 + OBJ_PERIOD_H4);
   }

Won't work because you use one object name which means one object. You need unique names like name+time. [ML] if i understand correctly you mean that i need three object in this way
yes i want to draw VLINE every Ten bar,
Not every ten bars. Won't adjust for bars before the week end, nor holidays, nor short Sunday bar (server TZ dependent.) [ML] you are right if we have a holiday then it doesn't work properly, actually what i need is to divide the current time frame in 3 equal part (time base)
i can make it only appear in H4 then that would be great.
RTFM. Why ONLY? wouldn't you want them to appear on lower timeframe charts also?
[ML] In my strategy im analyzing one week (last week), then based on the result i will put my orders in current week.. for confirmation of my weekly analysis i need these lines only appear in H4 (and only for current week) for example enclosed picture
```
ObjectSet("خط عمودی", OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES, OBJ_PERIOD_H4);
```
is it possible to draw it only after Bar[1] ??

Not compiled, not tested. Not compiled, not tested. [ML] thank you for this code, i will try to find way to draw this lines and i will update you here

Thanks

Excuse me? Are you hard of reading? You will "try to find a way" I gave you the code. Just call the two functions (one from init, one from start.)
