Draw Weekly open price on chart

ck1066 · 2020-06-11T21:21:05+00:00

Hi, I want to draw a horizontal line of the weekly open price as a horizontal line and a vertical line each Monday (my opening day of the week) on a chart. I’ve looked and can’t see how I can get the opening weeks value to draw using DRAWHLINE. Any help would be grateful.

There you go (not tested):
```
IF OpenDayOfWeek = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek[1] <> 1 THEN
   DRAWVLINE(BarIndex) coloured(255,0,0, 255)     //RED   vartical line
   DRAWHLINE(open)     coloured(0,128,0, 255)     //GREEN horizontal line
ENDIF
RETURN
```

Using DRAWHLINE will result in a mass of lines across your chart.

Better to use DRAWSEGMENT like this
```
if opendayofweek = 1 and opendayofweek[1] <> 1 then
myopen = open
drawvline(barindex) coloured(255,0,0, 255) 
endif

if myopen = myopen[1] then
drawsegment(barindex,myopen,barindex-1,myopen) coloured(0,128,0, 255) 
endif
return
```

Hello,

Best wishes for 2026.

Is there a way to get it for weekly close too ?

I tried to draw that segment on the previous week close, in vain. I am really not good as this language …

Thanks in advance.

This version is updated for the previous week CLOSE:
```
if opendayofweek = 1 and opendayofweek[1] <> 1 then
   myclose = close[1]
   drawsegment(barindex,myclose,barindex+1,myclose) coloured(0,128,0, 255) 
endif
 
if myclose = myclose[1] then
   drawsegment(barindex,myclose,barindex-1,myclose) coloured(0,128,0, 255) 
endif
return
```
