Help you with what? You haven't stated a problem. You have only four choices: Search for it, learn to code it, beg at Coding help - General - MQL5 programming forum or Need help with coding - General - MQL5 programming forum or Free MQL4 To MQL5 Converter - General - MQL5 programming forum or Requests & Ideas (MQL5 only!), or pay (Freelance) someone to code it. We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem. No free help. urgent help. There are only a few choices Standard Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Objects Constants / Object Types - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5 unless you use an OBJ_ARROW Really the indicator shouldn't be creating objects at all, it should use two arrow type buffers.

kapoo: Below is what have tried but am still having issue on it.

1. Three posts and you still haven't stated a problem. "Doesn't work" is meaningless - just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires - meaningless. There are no mind readers here.

   ---

2. const uchar             arrow_code=203,
   if(!ObjectCreate(chart_ID,name,OBJ_ARROW_UP,sub_window,time,price)) ...
   
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_ID,name,OBJPROP_ARROWCODE,arrow_code);

   You can't set a arrow code, for non-arrow objects.

   OBJPROP_ARROWCODE

   Arrow code for the Arrow object

   char

   Standard Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Objects Constants / Object Properties
   - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5

   ---

3. I already said "There are only a few choices Standard Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Objects Constants / Object Types - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5 unless you use an OBJ_ARROW" Did you look at the links I provided?

   ID		Description	ID		Description
   OBJ_ARROW_THUMB_UP		Thumbs Up	OBJ_ARROW_LEFT_PRICE		Left Price Label
   OBJ_ARROW_THUMB_DOWN		Thumbs Down	OBJ_ARROW_RIGHT_PRICE		Right Price Label
   OBJ_ARROW_UP		Arrow Up	OBJ_ARROW_BUY		Buy Sign
   OBJ_ARROW_DOWN		Arrow Down	OBJ_ARROW_SELL		Sell Sign
   OBJ_ARROW_STOP		Stop Sign	OBJ_ARROW		Arrow
   OBJ_ARROW_CHECK		Check Sign

   
   Those are your only options.
