    Draw Vertical Line on every 3am bar

    I'm creating a simple indicator to draw a vertical line for every 3am bar. However my code only works for the last 3am bar, and shows nothing for the previous 3am bars. Do you know why?

    for(int barIndex = ChartBars.FromIndex; barIndex <= ChartBars.ToIndex; barIndex++)
    {
    if(Bars.GetTime(barIndex).Hour == 3){
    Draw.VerticalLine(this,"vert",Bars.GetTime(barInde x),Brushes.Black);
    }

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hello KSTrader,

    Thank you for your note.

    The reason why the vertical line only draws on the last 3AM bar, is because the same drawing object is being redrawn rather than a new one created. You should uniquely naming each drawing object.

    For example, rather than the draw statement below,

    Code:
    Draw.VerticalLine(this,"vert",Bars.GetTime(barInde x),Brushes.Black);
    If you were to amend the statement to the following,

    Code:
    Draw.VerticalLine(this,[B]"vert"+CurrentBar [/B],Bars.GetTime(barInde x),Brushes.Black);
    Then on each Draw call, a unique draw object will be drawn, as “+CurrentBar” applies the current bar number to the line, which allows you to draw more than one.

    Please let us know if you need further assistance.
