DateTime that is forever?

[vegas3416]

I'm trying to draw a rectangle that starts from a specific time but goes on forever. Feel like it should be easy but drawing a brain fart on this.

I currently have this and it starts at the time I want it to but the end time currently I have set to end of day but want it to be where it goes on forever but not finding a way to do that.

```Draw.Rectangle(this, "startTime" + CurrentBar,Time[0], Lows[1][0] - TickSize,new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 16,15,0), Highs[1][0], Brushes.Transparent);

Any ideas on this? I'm sure its really easy or a simple tweak to do this.

vegas3416 Have you tried setting the endTime to DateTime.MaxValue or a DateTime way out in the future??

Thanks.

Hello vegas3416,

You appear to want something like a ray where one end is extended but with a rectangle. The Rectangle drawing tool isn't really meant for that. You could re-draw on each new bar to the current bar (with the end date as Time[0]).

You could look into finding or creating a custom coded addon.

Below is a link to a thread that discusses.
