Hi,

There are certain times in certain markets I like to trade, I would like to draw a vertical line on the chart at particular times, using code. Can you point me in the right direction please.

I don't want to change the background color of the chart, I use that to indicate another thing. I just to be able to draw the lines, I enclosed a screenshot

Thanks.

Have a look at the source code for the Time Line study. This is in the /ACS_Source folder.

Thanks I loaded it, interestingly, if i want to make the line dotted, and make it a bigger width than 1, it will be always solid, so it seems only solid line vertical is supported size 2 and above, is this correct?

Thanks.

We would not know this without testing. There probably is some operating system behavior which affects this.

In any case, it is up to you to determine what is possible and what is not possible for something like this.
