    // Scan the chart for horizontal levels
    for (int i = 1; i < MathMin(MaxBars, rates_total - 1); i++)
    {
        double price1 = close[i];
        double price2 = close[i + 1];

        // Check if the two prices are within the defined offset
        if (MathAbs(price1 - price2) < LevelOffset)
        {
            // Draw a horizontal line at the price level
            string lineName = "HorizontalLine_" + DoubleToString(price1, 5);
            if (ObjectFind(0, lineName) == -1) // Check if the object does not exist
            {
                ObjectCreate(0, lineName, OBJ_HLINE, 0, time[i], price1);
                ObjectSetInteger(0, lineName, OBJPROP_COLOR, clrBlue);
                ObjectSetInteger(0, lineName, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);
                ObjectSetInteger(0, lineName, OBJPROP_RAY_RIGHT, true); // Extend to the right
            }
        }
    }

    return(rates_total); // Return the number of processed bars
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
