How to draw Vline at1 previous candle of current candle

New comment
 

Hi developers I hope you can advise at this.

I want to draw vertical line at one previous candle of current candle.

Below code is draw Vline at current candle. I can not find solution from google


Than you.

ObjectCreate(ChartID(),monitored_name,OBJ_VLINE,0,TimeCurrent(),0);

 
any advise?
 
Hey, the reason why it might only draw one vertical line and keep moving it, it's because the software works on names of objects. If it sees the same name, it will constantly move it.

If you want a new line at every previous candle, you could use this for the name "monitored_name + IntegerToString(i)" where i is the index variable in a loop.

Otherwise if you want the same line to keep moving, ignore what I said and leave it as is.

Change TimeCurrent() to time[rates_total-2] to mark the line at the previous candle of the current

I changed TimeCurrent() with time[rates_total-2]. But there is an error of "time undeclared identifier"

    time[] only exists in an indicator's OnCalculate function; you should already know that. You didn't even post in the MT5 Indicators section nor in the MT5 EA section. Next time, post in the correct place.
