Hi waym77,
There is nothing special about this. You just need to use the starting and ending time you need.

Hi Panagiotis,
Thanks for the reply.
That I do understand, regarding X being related to OpenTimes.Last. My confusion is more in the sense of how to draw ahead of LastValue?
For instance:
Chart.DrawText("Object", "Sample", Bars.OpenTimes.Last(?), Bars.HighPrices.LastValue, Color.White);
The (?) is where my confusion is.
Thanks,
@waym77

Hi waym77,
You can't use Bars.OpenTimes because it does not contain the time you want. You need to set the actual time you need.

Hi,
Thanks, would you mind providing me with an example related to the DrawText? Wouldn't the time specified be needed to be adjusted for each timeframe?
I'm unfamiliar with DateTime, as I've only ever used Bars.OpenTimes for Chart Objects until now.

Hi waym77,
Here is an example
Chart.DrawRectangle("Rectangle", Server.Time.AddHours(1), Symbol.Bid, Server.Time.AddHours(10), Symbol.Bid + (Symbol.PipSize *10),Color.Red);
