Calculating Maximum and Minimum Price Range Between Specific Times

This ProBuilder code snippet is designed to calculate the maximum and minimum price range of a financial instrument between 7 am and 8 am, adjusting the range by adding and subtracting a pip size at the end of the interval.


IF OpenTime = 070000 THEN
    MaxRange = high
    MinRange = low
ENDIF

IF OpenTime >= 070000 AND OpenTime <= 075500 THEN
    MaxRange = max(MaxRange, high)
    MinRange = min(MinRange, low)
ENDIF

IF time = 080000 THEN
    MaxRange = MaxRange + 1 * pipsize
    MinRange = MinRange - 1 * pipsize
ENDIF

The code operates by checking the time and updating the maximum and minimum values accordingly:

  • Initialization: At exactly 7:00 am, the code initializes MaxRange and MinRange to the current high and low prices, respectively.
  • Updating Range: From 7:00 am to 7:55 am, the code continuously updates MaxRange and MinRange to ensure they hold the maximum and minimum prices observed during this period.
  • Final Adjustment: At exactly 8:00 am, the code adjusts the MaxRange and MinRange by adding and subtracting one pip size, respectively. This step is typically used to add a buffer or spread to the observed price range.

This snippet is useful for traders or analysts who need to track price fluctuations within a specific hour and prepare for trading decisions based on these fluctuations.
