  I’m looking for an indicator that draws a vertical line at a specific time on my charts so i don’t have to put them on manually each day. I’m also looking for a coder to build an indicator for me

  Example for your vertical line, this one draws at 9:00 a red line:

  Print vertical time line

  // --- variables // --- extern //Time1=090000 // when, must be format hhmmss //Red=255 // red part of the RGB color code //Green=0 // green part //Blue=0 // blue part //Visability=255 // alpha value of color 0=invisible 255=fully visible // check color values do not exeede allowed values Red=max(Red,0) // take the highest between users choice and 0 Red=min(Red,255) // take the lowest between users choice and 255 Green=max(Green,0) Green=min(Green,255) Blue=max(Blue,0) // if user pushes -2 -> take 0 which is higher than -2 Blue=min(Blue,255) // if user pushes 400 -> take 255 which is lower than 400 Visability=max(Visability,0) Visability=min(Visability,255) IF time=Time1 THEN // if the time is the one of Time1 // syntax: DRAWVLINE(x-AxisValue) coloured(R,G,B,A) // x-AxisValue: barindex at that candle, barindex-1 one candle before // optional addition coloured() with RGB and optinal Alpha values // https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/drawvline/ // https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/coloured/ DRAWVLINE(barindex) coloured(Red,Green,Blue,Visability) ENDIF // --- each indicator must end with some kind of RETURN (but only ONE Return command is allowe) // either you plot a line with RETURN VariableName as "a human understandable description" // or standalone if you used only DRAW... components // https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/return/ RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

  I attach the indicator file, so you can examine how extern variables are done. Even if you don’t understand any French, you might want to have a look here https://www.prorealcode.com/courses/premiers-pas-avec-la-programmation-pour-prorealtime/

  Hope this will help you for the beginning.
