It is a simple indicator that you can create yourself.
Start a new indicator with the following guiding ideas:

In Initialize:

CalculateOnBarClose = False;
Overlay = True;

In OnBarUpdate:

if (FirstTickOfBar) {

DrawVerticalLine("vertical", 0, Color.Red); // draw the vertical line
PlaySound("Alert4.wav"); // sound an alert on the close of a bar

}

Hi aotegaoteg,

When does this line get drawn?

Does this line draw when the bar closes?

If the line draws when the bar closes and you want it to be on the most recently closed bar (the bar that just closed) use DrawVerticalLine("lineTag", 0, Color.Red);

If you want to draw on the bar previous to the most recently closed bar use DrawVerticalLine("lineTag", 1, Color.Red);


If you are drawing the line intra-bar then use DrawVerticalLine("lineTag", 1, Color.Red); to draw on the most recently closed bar and DrawVerticalLine("lineTag", 2, Color.Red); to draw on the bar previous to the most recently closed bar. Use DrawVerticalLine("lineTag", 0, Color.Red); to draw on the currently building bar.

Let me know if this does not help.

i tried your suggestions but the line doesn't appear on the chart, when using this line DrawVerticalLine("lineTag", 1, Color.Red);
but it appears if i change the "1"to a "0"but this plots the line on the current bar what i want to archive is
to draw a vertical line that plots 1 bars ago from the current active bar
thanks for your help

Please add this statement at the very first line of OnBarUpdate:

if (CurrentBar < 1) return;
