I am trying to get mql4 to create a horizontal line between two points in time. It should NOT extend the whole width of the chart. Is there any way to do this??

Here is a sample of my code

ObjName = GetName("SSTD", i);
// ObjectCreate(ObjName, OBJ_HLINE, 0, NULL, SetupSHiPrice );
ObjectCreate(ObjName, OBJ_HLINE, 0, SetupSBeginDt, SetupSHiPrice, SetupSEndDt, SetupSHiPrice );
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_TIME1, SetupSBeginDt);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_TIME2, SetupSEndDt);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_COLOR, Yellow);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);


thanks in advance for your help

Yes you can, but you have to use OBJ_TREND instead of OBJ_HLINE, and set OBJPROP_RAY to false.

Later edit: Just saw the title of the thread is to use OBJ_HLINE, well if you really wanna stick with OBJ_HLINE then you cannot do it.

Thanks for your help soso_beton. I was trying to draw a horizontal line, but a trendline that is horizontal will work just fine in this case.

Here is the working code for anyones future reference

ObjectCreate(ObjName, OBJ_TREND, 0, SetupSBeginDt, SetupSHiPrice, SetupSEndDt, SetupSHiPrice );
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_COLOR, Yellow);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_RAY, False);

if(rsiOne[i]<=30)
{
drawArrow_one[i]=Low[i]-50*Point;
}else if(rsiOne[i]>=70){
drawArrow_two[i]=High[i]+50*Point;
ObjectCreate(ObjName, OBJ_TREND, 0, Time[0], High[0]+500*Point, Time[0], High[0]+500*Point );
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_COLOR, Yellow);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);
ObjectSet(ObjName, OBJPROP_RAY, False);
}
in my case i want the short horizontal line yo appear only above or below the arrow.....i tried this, it did not work. Probably, amnot getting the objectCreate correctly. please help. Below is how i code it
ObjectCreate(ObjName, OBJ_TREND, 0, Time[0], High[0]+500*Point, Time[0], High[0]+500*Point);

You are setting both the time values the same as well as the prices, so at most you would see just a dot.
