    public class HighVolAlert : Indicator
    {
        #region Variables
        // Wizard generated variables
           private int highVolume = 1000; // Default setting for HighVolume

        // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
        #endregion

        /// <summary>
        /// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
           
           // Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Blue, 2), PlotStyle.Bar, "Volume"));
			//Add(new Line(Color.DarkGray, 0, "Zero line"));
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            Value.Set(Volume[0]);
		
            if (Volume[0] >= HighVolume)
				
			{
				
				DrawDiamond("VolDiamond" + CurrentBar,true, 0, High[0] + 40*TickSize, highAlert);
				
			}

Hello SLASH,

Thank you for your post.

Apply the indicator to a 5 Minute chart and replace the DrawDiamond() method with either the DrawArrowUp() or DrawArrowDown() method.

Hello SLASH,

Thank you for your response.

So you are saying no matter the chart period and interval you apply the indicator to?

Hello SLASH,

Thank you for your response.

I believe you are asking how to wait a set number of minutes after your highVolume is reached before drawing the arrow. If this is the case we would use Time[0] and the DateTime.AddMinutes() method, please refer to the code below:

        #region Variables
        // Wizard generated variables
        private int highVolume = 1000; // Default setting for HighVolume
		private DateTime timeHVol;
		private int timeToWait = 15; // Default setting for timeToWait
		  
		private Color highAlert = Color.Black;
		
        // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
        #endregion

        /// <summary>
        /// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
           
           // Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Blue, 2), PlotStyle.Bar, "Volume"));
			//Add(new Line(Color.DarkGray, 0, "Zero line"));
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            Value.Set(Volume[0]);
		
            if (Volume[0] >= highVolume)
				
			{
				DrawDiamond("VolDiamond" + CurrentBar,true, 0, High[0] + 40*TickSize, highAlert);
				timeHVol = Time[0];
			}
			
			if(timeHVol.AddMinutes(timeToWait) <= Time[0])
			{
				// draw your arrow.
			}
        }

        #region Properties
		[Description("Number of minute to wait since HighVolume reached")]
		[GridCategory("Parameters")]
		public int TimeToWait
		{
			get { return timeToWait; }
			set { timeToWait = Math.Max(1, value); }
		}
        #endregion
