Hi, I am trying to code a indicator than show a vertical line every 30 min, Can from 09:00 hrs to 16:00 hrs, I have gratefully.

There is very likely a cleaner, shorter way of coding but this is what I have:-

Code

Inputs:	String LineColor ("Red"), LineTime1(0900),  LineTime2(0930), LineTime3(1000), LineTime4 (1030), LineTime5 (1100),
 LineTime6 (1130), LineTime7 (1200), LineTime8 (1230), LineTime9 (1300), LineTime10 (1330), LineTime11 (1400), LineTime12 (1430), LineTime13 (1500), LineTime14 (1530),
LineTime15 (1600);

Using elsystem.drawingobjects;
Using elsystem.drawing;
Variables: VerticalLine VL(null);

Method void DrawVerticalLine() begin
	VL = VerticalLine.Create(DTPoint.Create(BarDateTime,0));
	VL.Persist = False;
	DrawingObjects.Add(VL);
End;

If T >= LineTime1 and T[1] < LineTime1 then begin 
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime2 and T[1] < LineTime2 then begin 
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime3 and T[1] < LineTime3 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime4 and T[1] < LineTime4 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime5 and T[1] < LineTime5 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime6 and T[1] < LineTime6 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime7 and T[1] < LineTime7 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime8 and T[1] < LineTime8 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime9 and T[1] < LineTime9 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime10 and T[1] < LineTime10 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime11 and T[1] < LineTime11 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime12 and T[1] < LineTime12 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime13 and T[1] < LineTime13 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime14 and T[1] < LineTime14 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

If T >= LineTime15 and T[1] < LineTime15 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

Copy code into a new EayLanguage Document window, give it a name, verify it and then remember to go into Properties ---> Scaling tab and select "Same as Underlying Data".

Notes 30 minute periods are coded as inputs so you can adjust them other time periods as well.

Hi, I am trying to code a indicator than show a vertical line every 30 min, Can from 09:00 hrs to 16:00 hrs, I have gratefully.

I haven't fully tested this but it does draw Time Lines every 30 minutes between the desired time window - but you get the idea and should be able to tweak it as necessary.

Note:

1. It's important to set the plot's 'TYPE' to Histogram
2. You can turn it off by changing the Input, DrawTimeLines to False
3. TimePeriod can be changed to draw lines every 15, 10, 5 minutes etc.

Code

Inputs: DrawTimeLines(True);

Vars: TimePeriod(30), MinsPastHour(0), LineColor(Red), 
      IntraBarPersist LastTimeLine(0);

If DrawTimeLines and Time >= 900 and (Time - LastTimeLine > (TimePeriod -1)) then
begin
 If Time <= 1600 then
 begin
  MinsPastHour = Mod(MinutesFromDateTime(DateTime), TimePeriod);

  If MinsPastHour = 0  then
  begin
   Plot1(Close*2, "TimeLine", LineColor); // **** Set Plot 'Type' as Histogram  **** 
   LastTimeLine = Time;
  end 
  else
  begin
   Plot1(0);
  end;
 end
 else
 LastTimeLine = 0;  
end;

Vertical Line every 30 min.
