You'll need to call the OnBar method yourself, so you can then execute code both before and/or after it.
//Example code
//class variable. Set to zero in the OnStart method so it's 0 every time you start your bot
int _previousIndex;
int _currentIndex;
//in the "OnTick" Method
protected override void OnTick()
{
//do whatever you need to do in OnTick first here
_currentIndex = _marketSeries.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(_marketSeries.OpenTimes.LastValue);
//Call the OnBar method yourself. Just make your own.
if (_currentIndex != _previousIndex)
{
//when currentIndex isn't equal to previous index, we know a new bar has opened
//so call your own OnBar method:
OnBarForBot();
_previousIndex = _currentIndex;
}
//Now do whatever you have to after you called your OnBar method
}
private void OnBarForBot()
{
//do whatever you want to on each new bar
}
//Don't have anything in the built in method.
protected override void OnBar()
{
}

Why not post the code you have so people can correct it?
In a nutshell:
1) set your time zone in your indicator if you choose:
[Indicator(AccessRights = AccessRights.None, TimeZone = TimeZones.AtlanticStandardTime)]
2) get your time Server.Time or if you want your local computer's DateTime.Now
3) compare that the hour of the time you got is >= 8 && <= 9
4) if 3 is true, Chart.DrawHorizontalLine on whatever value you want at 8 and 9am prices. Depending on the chart you're using, you may need to get tick data as opposed to the chart's time frame (eg, if you use something like Range or Renko, you can't depend on a bar's time as a new bar may not open/close on the exact hours)

One way to do it is you need to keep track of your engulfing candles. You might want to use something like two Dictionary<int,double>() objects (one for bull candles and one for bear candles) where the key is the "bar's index" and the value is the high/low of the price.
On every new bar:
1) check every value in the bullish dictionary
2) if current price > the price of an entry in the dictionary (each value), a) delete the indicator icon at the specified bar (the key value) and b) delete the key/value pair from the dictionary as you know you don't have to check it ever again.
3) repeat steps 1-2 above for the bearish dictionary
4) if the previous bar is a bullish engulfing candle add the bar's index as the "key" to the bullish dictionary with the high price as the "value"
5) if the previous bar is a bearish engulfing candle add the bar's index as the "key" to the bearish dictionary with the low price as the "value"

Hypothetically what you could do is:
//To find a bearish fractal in a range:
int startIndex = 4;
int endIndex = 7;
array.Skip(startIndex).Take(endIndex - startIndex).Max();
And see if the middle value of the array is equal the max value returned. If so, it's a bearish fractal.
note that according to the definition of a bearish fractal is as follows from Investopedia:
- A bearish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the highest high in the middle and two lower highs on each side.
It doesn't say each high has to be lower/higher than the previous/next. Only that the one in the middle has to be the highest/lowest. So given that interepretation, you could use the sample code I put in at the top here.
If you do want it with each candle getting consecutively higher/lower from the middle one, I don't know how you do that without looping over each value.

Your list is great and you've given thought to these.
However, what I would do (and I know this is tedious) is break them up and post the suggestions one by one. This way, users can vote on individual suggestions for Spotware to implement instead of one big list that probably won't garner nearly as many votes or people reading.
For instance, if someone votes on this list, what item in particular are they voting for? Nobody knows.
