Hello! Tell me how to determine the time of the current variable and the previous one. The indicator shows a bar that satisfies the conditions, you need to find the time value of the last bar that satisfies the indicator conditions and the time value of the previous bar that satisfies the indicator conditions.

 
Code
Inputs:
vTL(3), 
BuyTLColor (blue),
SellTLColor (red),
NetTLColor (white),
TLSize (1),
TLStyle (1);


Variables:
var0(0),
vTLValue(0),
BuyTL (1),
NetTL (1),
SellTL (1);


begin

var0 = Volume ;
var0 = Ticks ;

vTLValue = TL_GetEndVal(vTL);
If (close[0] > close[1] and var0 > vTLValue) then
BuyTL = TL_New_s(Date,Time_s, Low, Date, Time_s, High); 
TL_SetColor(BuyTL, BuyTLColor); 
TL_SetSize(BuyTL,TLSize); 
TL_SetStyle(BuyTL, TLStyle);

If (close[0] < close[1]and var0 > vTLValue) then
SellTL = TL_New_s(Date,Time_s, Low, Date, Time_s, High); 
TL_SetColor(SellTL, SellTLColor); 
TL_SetSize(SellTL,TLSize); 
TL_SetStyle(SellTL, SellTLColor);

If (close[0] = close[1]and var0 > vTLValue) then
NetTL = TL_New_s(Date,Time_s, Low, Date, Time_s, High); 
TL_SetColor(NetTL, NetTLColor); 
TL_SetSize(NetTL,TLSize); 
TL_SetStyle(NetTL, NetTLColor);


End;

Fobos,

you can store the time or DateTime in a variable when your conditions are met. At the same location within the code and before (!) you update this variable you store the value of that variable in another variable. In case you need to look back further than a few occurrences you might want to consider using a vector to store the previous values.

Fobos,

these two links should get you going:
DateTime Class
BarDateTime (Reserved Word)

Thank you so much! With your help, I managed to find the DateTime variable. Now I am looking for a high-low between the two variables DateTime and DateTime [1], but this code displays the high-low bars of these variables. What's my mistake?

 
Code
if (dateTime > Times[1]) and (dateTime <= Times) then begin 

// Reset variables
if (dateTime[1] = Times[1]) then begin
        openRangeHigh = 0;
        openRangeLow  = 99999;
    end;
     
openRangeHigh = MaxList(High, openRangeHigh);
openRangeLow  = MinList(Low,  openRangeLow);
   
        
    end;



tlHigh = openRangeHigh;
tlMid	= (openRangeHigh + openRangeLow) * 0.50;
tlLow 	= openRangeLow;


// Draw the trendlines
	value10 = TL_New_Dt(Times[1] , tlHigh, Times, tlHigh);
	value11 = TL_New_Dt( Times[1], tlMid, Times, tlMid);
	value12 = TL_New_Dt( Times[1], tlLow, Times, tlLow);

Fobos,

since the code is incomplete I could only guess, but I would suggest using the print reserved word or debugger to find out when you variables are reset and if this happens for example on every bar.
