Can someone please help me how to find the time if the shift value being negative.

Basically I am trying to draw a trendline based on the existing trendline

I am getting objprice1 correctly but the objtime1 always return 0.

Thanks

    datetime objtime1 =  iTime(Symbol(),Period(), shift);
    double objprice1  =  ObjectGetValueByShift(objname, shift);   //shift is a negative value

Try something like . . .

if(shift < 0)
   objtime = iTime(Symbol(),Period(), 0) + (Period() * 60 * -1 * shift);

Hi RaptorUK

I was wondering what will happen if a week end falls in between? should I have to add any further codes.

Thanks
