stuck at plotting high of specific candle

[HolyDiver]

How do I plot low of specific candle as a horizontal line?

For example I have this criteria for an entry candle:

def Entry = X and Y and Z;

How do I plot for example the low of the Entry candle as a horizontal line and not an arrow?

Also is there a way to choose how long this line may be? Cause default the line ends in end of day.

Thank you

this is the simplest way to draw a horizontal line. the downside is that highestall() makes the study complex.
this will draw a horizontal line, at the low price when entry is true.
it will be drawn from the most recent bar that entry is true.

# test_horz_line_0hi
# for testing, pick a bar# to read the low from,
# then draw a horizontal line at that level, across the whole chart.

def bn = barnumber();
input trig = 222;

# replace this entry formula with yours...
def entry = bn == trig;
input price = low;
def x = if entry then price else 0;
def lowlevel = highestall( x );

plot z = lowlevel;
z.setdefaultcolor(color.cyan);
#

if there are multiple entries on a chart, and you want a line to the right of each entry bar, then maybe something like this,

# test_horz_line_1hi

# for testing, simulate a trigger, every 33 bars.
# then draw a horizontal line from that bar.
def bn = BarNumber();
def trig = if ( bn % 33 == 0 ) then bn else 0;

# replace this entry formula with yours...
def entry = trig;

input price = low;
def lowlevel = if entry then price else lowlevel[1];

plot z = lowlevel;
z.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
