Hello, I would like to add a trendline which starts from bull bar and it should end on last bull bar.

How can i do that?

Tell me in more detail how to find the first and last, I already know how to code so you may not be required to post code, although you can post code if you think I am lucky,

 
Rodger Sen #: Tell me in more detail how to find the first and last, 
int iBeg = 1;    while(!isBull(iBeg) ) ++iBeg;
int iEnd = iBeg; while( isBull(iEnd) ) ++iEnd;
if(iEnd - iFirst > 1) drawLine(iFirst, iEnd);

this code is totally unrelatable to my code and does not help at all, but thanks for your attempt. Expecting someone else may help in more clear way by at least reading the code which i have posted. Its better if you avoid posting such pathetic code where it is even not defined what is iFirst.

Correct, it has nothing to do with your code. It is exactly what your question was.

You said you know how to code, so replace the functions with your code. What's the problem?
