I am hoping that someone can help me. I have some code below that places horizontal lines on the chart at a specific time with specific lengths. The indicator was originally written for me back in the day when a 1 minute chart was the smallest time compression available. Would it be possible to have this indicator adaptable so it will function on second charts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 
Code
// ==========================================
// 


inputs:
	DateOfLine(1180517),
	DistFromSwing_Ticks(3),
	StartBarCount_Time(700),
	ExtendLines_Right(false),
	
	Line1_Color(darkred),
	Line1_StartBarCount(-2),
	Line1_EndBarCount(8),
		
	Line2_Display(true),
	Line2_StartBarCount(8),
	Line2_EndBarCount(18),
		
	Line3_Display(true),
	Line3_StartBarCount(16),
	Line3_EndBarCount(28);
		
	 
vars: 
	X(0),
	startHiTLValue(0),
	startLoTLValue(0),
	ii(0),
	looCounter(0),
	ColorCount(0),
	PriDisplayValue(0),
	EndCount(0),
	loTLPrice(0),
	hiTLPrice(0),
	TickValue(minmove/pricescale);

arrays:
	LineSwitch[3](false),
	TLID_Main[3](-1),
	StartBarCount[3](0),
	EndBarCount[3](0),
	LineHigh[3](0),
	LineLow[3](999999);

once begin
	LineSwitch[1] = true;
	StartBarCount[1] = calctime(StartBarCount_Time, Line1_StartBarCount * barinterval);
	EndBarCount[1] = calctime(StartBarCount_Time, Line1_EndBarCount * barinterval);
	
	LineSwitch[2] = Line2_Display;
	StartBarCount[2] = calctime(StartBarCount_Time, Line2_StartBarCount * barinterval);
	EndBarCount[2] = calctime(StartBarCount_Time, Line2_EndBarCount * barinterval);
	
	LineSwitch[3] = Line3_Display;
	StartBarCount[3] = calctime(StartBarCount_Time, Line3_StartBarCount * barinterval);
	EndBarCount[3] = calctime(StartBarCount_Time, Line3_EndBarCount * barinterval);
	
	 	
	
	if Line1_Color = Darkred then ColorCount = 1 else ColorCount = 0;
	
	for X = 1 to 3 begin
		if LineSwitch[X] then
		begin 
			if ColorCount > 1 then ColorCount = 0;
			PriDisplayValue = pz_iff(ColorCount = 0, getappinfo(aiLowestDispValue), getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue));
			
			if ColorCount = 0 then
				startLoTLValue = getappinfo(aiLowestDispValue) 
			else
				startHiTLValue = getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue) ;
			
			TLID_Main[X] = tl_new(currentdate, StartBarCount[X], PriDisplayValue, currentdate, EndBarCount[X], PriDisplayValue);
			tl_setcolor(TLID_Main[X], pz_iff(ColorCount = 0, Darkblue, Darkred));
			tl_setstyle(TLID_Main[X],(2));
			TL_SetSize (TLID_Main[X],(3)); 
			tl_setextright(TLID_Main[X], ExtendLines_Right);
			
			ColorCount += 1; 
		end ;
	end;
end;

if d = DateOfLine then begin
	{for X = 1 to 11 begin
		if t >= StartBarCount[X - 1] then EndCount = X + 1;
	end;}
	for X = 1 to 3 begin
		if LineSwitch[X] then
		begin 
			if t >= StartBarCount[X] and t <= EndBarCount[X] then begin
				if h > LineHigh[X] then LineHigh[X] = h;
				if l < LineLow[X] then LineLow[X] = l;
			end ;
			
			if t < StartBarCount[X] then
			begin		
				loTLPrice = startLoTLValue ;
				hiTLPrice = startHiTLValue ;
									
				if X > 2 then 
				begin 
					ii = X - 2 ;
					looCounter = 0 ;
					
					while ii > 0 
					begin
						if LineSwitch[ii] and t >= StartBarCount[ii] then
						begin 
							loTLPrice = LineLow[ii] ;
							hiTLPrice = LineHigh[ii] ;	
						end ;
										
						ii -= 2 ;
						
						looCounter += 1 ;
						if looCounter > 10 then
							break ;
					end ; 
				
				end ;		
			end
			else
			begin 
				loTLPrice = LineLow[X] ;
				hiTLPrice = LineHigh[X] ;
			end ;
			


			if tl_getcolor(TLID_Main[X]) = Darkblue then begin
				tl_setend(TLID_Main[X], d, EndBarCount[X], loTLPrice - DistFromSwing_Ticks * TickValue);
				tl_setbegin(TLID_Main[X], d, StartBarCount[X], loTLPrice - DistFromSwing_Ticks * TickValue);
			end
			else begin
				tl_setend(TLID_Main[X], d, EndBarCount[X], hiTLPrice + DistFromSwing_Ticks * TickValue);
				tl_setbegin(TLID_Main[X], d, StartBarCount[X], hiTLPrice + DistFromSwing_Ticks * TickValue);
			end;

Pittrader,

you will have to exchange the legacy trendlines with object oriented EasyLanguage trendline objects to be able to place trendlines either bar number or datetime based.
