Iurii Tokman:

Here is the code that draws a line on M5:

      int Price_high  = iHighest(Symbol(), 0, MODE_HIGH, 11, 1);
       int Price_low   = iLowest(Symbol(), 0, MODE_LOW, 11, 1);
            
       ObjectCreate("TrendLine", OBJ_TREND, 0, Time[11], NormalizeDouble( (High[Price_high] + Low[Price_low])/2, Digits), Time[1], 
                     NormalizeDouble( (High[Price_high] + Low[Price_low])/2, Digits));

I would like a line to be drawn at the beginning of each hour on M5 that will not be connected to the previous ones. I.e. just a horizontal line, not a broken line. The line is the average price of the previous hour.

And if you remove the *beam* property of this line, it would be great.

int Price_high  = iHighest(Symbol(), 0, MODE_HIGH, 11, 1);
int Price_low   = iLowest(Symbol(), 0, MODE_LOW, 11, 1);

if(!NewBar(PERIOD_H1)) return;
            
ObjectCreate("TrendLine", OBJ_TREND, 0, Time[11], NormalizeDouble( (High[Price_high] + Low[Price_low])/2, Digits), Time[1], 
              NormalizeDouble( (High[Price_high] + Low[Price_low])/2, Digits));

bool NewBar(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES TF = 0)
  {
   static datetime NewTime=0;
   if(NewTime!=iTime(Symbol(),TF,0))
     {
      NewTime=iTime(Symbol(),TF,0);
      return(true);
     }
   return(false);
  }

It doesn't work. It only draws one line at start-up and that's it.

void OnTick()
{
  
int Price_high  = iHighest(Symbol(), 0, MODE_HIGH, 11, 1);
int Price_low   = iLowest(Symbol(), 0, MODE_LOW, 11, 1);

if(!NewBar(PERIOD_H1)) return;
            
ObjectCreate("TrendLine", OBJ_TREND, 0, Time[11], NormalizeDouble( (High[Price_high] + Low[Price_low])/2, Digits), Time[1], 
              NormalizeDouble( (High[Price_high] + Low[Price_low])/2, Digits));

}

I would like a line to be drawn at the beginning of each hour on M5 that will not be connected to the previous ones. I.e. just a horizontal line, not a broken line. The line is the average price for the previous hour.

By the way, why draw exactly with the Horizontal Line graphical object? Wouldn't it be better to do it with an indicator andDRAW_ARROW style?

Something like this display:
