Hi all - im just playing with drawing a vertical line at a certain Hour on the chart - any ideas why not ?

Inserted Code

         ObjectCreate("Time",OBJ_VLINE,0,Time,HIGH);
         ObjectSet("Time",OBJPROP_COLOR,VerticalLineColor); 
         ObjectSet("Time",OBJPROP_STYLE,STYLE_DOT); 
         ObjectSet("Time",OBJPROP_WIDTH,1);

What's your "time" variable? Need to be a datetime.

Oh - thats just the built in "Time" function - maybe thats it ?

It just needs to draw the vertical for the current bar.

Thx

But it seems that the problem was to do with the first parameter i had as "Time" - i changed it to "Time1" and it works now (with your modification).

I'm not sure why...

"Time" is a predefined array, you can't use it as your own set variable
