Good Day MQL5 Forum and Programmers.

Please assist I am a beginner in the MT5 programming platform and I have tirelessly trying to write a code that will instruct the sets of indicator line to be inbetween two period seperators.

Please assist I have been trying to go through the OnCalculate function for quite some time.

Please find attached Snips of the code and indicator.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

1.  Please insert the code correctly: when editing a message, use the button   Codeto insert the code.

2. Nothing is clear from your drawing.

I want the set of colored line to be in between the two period seperators only not for the lines to go all the way to the left.

for example datetime to be in between 2020.04.06 00:00 to 2020.04.07 00:00 only

In this case, you need to determine the date of the period.

If this is the first launch (prev_calculated == 0)

 //--- 
   int limit=prev_calculated- 1 ;
   if (prev_calculated== 0 )
      limit= 0 ;

you put 0.0 in the indicator buffer, before the start of the period date.

its still showing the same thing.

the datetime is already included in the indicator data 

 Please see attached..on MT4 is like as shown in the picture attached. I need to achieve the same result on MT5

Start with the simplest: draw the icon ONLY on the current bar (by the way, I always create file templates using the MQL Wizard)
