How to get the maximum and minimum price from a vertical line,

Wait for moderator to move it for you!
I think you misunderstand my query, I don't need the value of a vertical line, what I need is how to get the High[ ] of a bar or Low[ ] of a bar from an object or Vline
- There is no value of a VLine, only the time.
- Get the time. Get the bar index of that time. Get the High or Low of that index. What's the problem?
No it's not deleted. You only made it worse and made a mess of it of it all.
And you also ignored my answer, but that is no longer my concern.

Don't put such functionality in the OnInit() event handler. During the OnInit() event, data has still not settled. In fact, it may not even exist yet.
Only collect the symbol data in either the OnCalculate() for Indicators, or OnTick() for Expert advisors.
Excuse me but my English is not very good and it is not understood, I have a vertical line on the chart and I want to obtain, taking as reference that vertical line towards the candle (0) on the left, the maximum value and the minimum value of the chart and Once I have that data I will make a line from those two points, see image.

To answer your question:
int iHighest( string symbol, // symbol int timeframe, // timeframe int type, // timeseries int count, // count int start // start );
int iLowest( string symbol, // symbol int timeframe, // timeframe int type, // timeseries id int count, // count int start // starting index );
One thing to note is that it checks from right to left.
So if start=4 and count=10, it will look from index 4,5,6,7...13.
If I recall correctly, you can set a negative value for count and it will check from left to right.
Example:
//--- Obtain the index of the highest high from index 4 to index 1 const int highestHighIndex = iHighest(NULL, 0, MODE_HIGH, 4, 1); //--- Use that index to obtain the value of the high const double highestHigh = High[highestHighIndex]; Print("The Highest High between index 1 and index 4 is: ", DoubleToStr(highestHigh, Digits));

OKAY!
Many thanks to both Vitaly Muzichenko and Alexander Martinez.
I'm going to try it.
All the best
Hi Vitaly!
Thank you very much for the code. I've tried it and it's perfect. Vitaly I have looked at myself and studied your code and there is part that I don't know what it does, would you be so kind as to explain to me what it does to learn it better?
Thank you very much in advance and forgive my English.
if(cLow<1 || cHigh<1 || cTime<1) return; Imin=ArrayMinimum(low); min=low[Imin]; Imax=ArrayMaximum(high); max=high[Imax]; TimeDn=time[Imin]; TimeUp=time[Imax];
I think I know all the "if" functions but this "if" with the "return" and the rest confuses me and I don't know if it's part of the "if" or not.
All the best
