What have you tried ?

//--------------------------top1--------------------------------------------
int per=5;
  double top1=0.0;  
   int top1_index=iHighest(NULL,per,MODE_HIGH,50,2); 
   if(top1_index!=-1) top1=NormalizeDouble(iHigh(NULL,1440,1),Digits);
    else PrintFormat("Error in call iHighest. Error code=%d",GetLastError());
   datetime T1=iTime(NULL,per,top1_index);  
  
//---------------------------bot1--------------------------------------------
double bot1=0.0;  
   int bot1_index=iLowest(NULL,per,MODE_HIGH,50,2); 
   if(bot1_index!=-1) bot1=NormalizeDouble(iLow(NULL,1440,1),Digits);
    else PrintFormat("Error in call iHighest. Error code=%d",GetLastError());
   datetime T2=iTime(NULL,per,bot1_index);
//--------------------------fib point-----------------------------------------
i found the top and  button of the last day but i cant find them times!!how to search the i Highest  from the end of the last day to the start ?? 
 
What do you get, and what do you expect to get? Any Error?

int iM5prvDayBegin =  iBarShift( NULL,PERIOD_M5,iTime(Null,PERIOD_D1,1)),     // first Bar m5
    iM5prvDayEnd   =  iBarShift( NULL,PERIOD_M5,iTime(Null,PERIOD_D1,0)) -1;  // last Bar m5

Now use iHighest and iLowest between those to indices.

 
hadher ramadhan: how to get the time of the 5 minuit candles which is the highest or lowest on the last day only
  1. Last day or current day? I assume last.
  2.    int top1_index=iHighest(NULL,per,MODE_HIGH,50,2);
    This has nothing to do with your question.
  3. top1=NormalizeDouble(iHigh(NULL,1440,1),Digits);
    Do NOT use NormalizeDouble, EVER. For ANY Reason. It's a kludge, don't use it. It's use is always wrong
    Totally unnecessary. Prices read are always normalized.
  4. Since you are not running on the D1 chart, you must make sure the D1 is up to date. See Download history in MQL4 EA - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - MQL4 programming forum Then you can get the prices from the D1 chart (iHigh)
  5. But again this has nothing to do with your question.
  6. But you don't want that, you want the Time of the M5 candle (or its shift.) If the chart isn't the M5 #4 applies and use iHigh/iTime instead.
  7. Just use the time functions I posted yesterday.
    #define COUNT uint
INDEX iLOD  = iBarShift(_Symbol, PERIOD_CURRENT, date() ) - 1; // Last bar yesterday
INDEX iBOD  = iYesterday();                                    // First bar yesterday
COUNT nBars = iBOD - iLOD + 1;
INDEX iHOD = iHighest(_Symbol, PERIOD_CURRENT, MODE_HIGH, nBars, iLOD);

#define PRICE double
string price_to_string(PRICE p){ return DoubleToString(p, _Digits); }
PrintFormat("Yesterday's high of the day was %s at %s", price_to_string(High[iHOD]), (string)Time[iHOD]);

Hello This ought to be easy but I'm finding it fiendish. I want to draw a rectangle around my non-trading hours...
