Draw H-Line on Current Year Open Price?

somehow the 'Find candle by [Time]' with timestamp is not working? Tried many combination and seem really not finding the candle by timestamp.. more likely to timeframe instead...

i hope to get the data (current year open price) and draw a horizontal line to mark it on the chart as reference... of course i could just mark it manually... but...

According to the info on your block, it will draw the line on the 2nd of January, 2019. That happened a long time ago. Try to put a closer day to present.

@vnpython-0 I think there are several possible reasons.

1. You set (at least in shared project) the angle to 45 degrees. So maybe you just don't see the line. Can you see the object in the object list <CTRL-B>?
   

2. Not enough history on chart. It may also be that there is not enough history on the chart - especially on M1 timeframe. Did you test in tester or demo account live chart?

i think the issue is the line is drawn to M1, M5, M15 ... etc instead of using the timestamp function of the block...

1. the line is shown straight and not in angle.. i think that option only affects trendline by angle which i havent try..

2. hm.. maybe you're right.. i will try and let's find out...

as you can see... the 2019.01.02 where the arrow is but the H-line is down below, to the candle open of today (11/5/2019)
