Vertical Line with Time

New member
I have a Study that adds a Vertical Line when certain Study Parameters are met. I am looking to add the Date/Time to the Line instead of just the word "Puts". The 2 Red Lines are from the study. The Yellow Line is one I added using the Time Level from the TOS drawing set. The Yellow Line has the Date / Time I would like to add to the Red Lines. I would like Both Date and Time, but I would at least like to have the Time.
The First Red Line happened at 11:20 AM
The Second Red Line happened at 12:02 PM

Here is the Line Code:
AddVerticalLine (StochCrossParameters, "PUTS", Color.RED, Curve.FIRM);

I was not able to Upload the Picture for some reason.

As you did not not provide the code for StochCrossParameters, I used code provided in another post and used cond1 instead to position the vertical lines.

Code:
def cond1 = ExtMapBuffer1 crosses ExtMapBuffer2;
def xdate = if cond1 then GetYYYYMMDD() else Double.NaN;
input timezone = {default "ET", "CT", "MT", "PT"};

def starthour  = (if timezone == timezone."ET"
                        then 9
                        else if timezone == timezone."CT"
                        then 8
                        else if timezone == timezone."MT"
                        then 7
                        else 6) ;
def hour = Floor(((starthour * 60 + 30) + (GetTime() - RegularTradingStart(GetYYYYMMDD())) / 60000) / 60);
def minutes = (GetTime() - RegularTradingStart(GetYYYYMMDD())) / 60000 - ((hour - starthour) * 60 + 30) + 60;

AddVerticalLine(cond1, "PUTS     " + AsPrice(xdate) + "    " + hour + ":" + (if minutes < 10 then "0" else "") + minutes, Color.RED, Curve.FIRM);

Here is the example code with the cond1 vertical lines with date and time happened
