Vertical Line

Hi
I have this one line code that draws vertical lines every hour
can anyone add the needed code to allow this only on 1M and 5M charts?

thank you so much

AddVerticalLine(GetTime() % AggregationPeriod.HOUR == 0, color = Color.ORANGE, stroke = Curve.LONG_DASH);

Here's some code that should give you what you're looking for. It's not quite as simple as you would have thought. Note that this code is specifically for the 1M & 5M TimeFrame only. It would not be difficult to modify it to support any timeframe up to 1Hour. Right now, it doesn't draw the vertical lines overnight from midnight to market open (ET).

#***********

Def validChartTime = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.MIN or GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.FIVE_Min;
# Modify this line to support other/additional timeframe charts

Def sessionStartTime = RegularTradingStart(GetYYYYMMDD());
## Expected session start time is 0930 ET

Def secondsFromStart = (GetTime() - sessionStartTime)/1000;
## Need to know what the start time of the candle is and whether or not it's at the top of the hour

Def onHour = secondsFromStart % 1800 < 1 and secondsFromStart % 3600 > 1;
## There are 3600 seconds per hour.
## For it to be on the top of the hour, the number must be divisible by 1800 (30 mins) but not by 3600

AddVerticalLine(validChartTime and onHour, color = Color.ORANGE, stroke = Curve.LONG_DASH);

Playing with this code for fun, it doesn't;t have all checks balances, inputs will allow for flexibility

input vertLinePeriod = AggregationPeriod.HOUR;
input allowedPeriod_1 = AggregationPeriod.MIN;
input allowedPeriod_2 = AggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN;

def canDrawVertLine = GetAggregationPeriod() == allowedPeriod_1 OR GetAggregationPeriod() == allowedPeriod_2;
AddVerticalLine(canDrawVertLine and GetTime() % vertLinePeriod == 0, color = Color.ORANGE, stroke = Curve.LONG_DASH);
