How to define a range (and add a pip) – Help Wanted!

  Hi All,

  Apologies in advance for the noob question but I’ve tried to find the answer to this and can’t!

  Can anyone tell me how to define a range as the 12x 5m candles opening from 07:00 to 07:55.

  This needs to happen upon the close of the 07:55 candle (ie at 8am).

  Oh, I’d also like to add +1 pip to the high, and -1 pip from the low of the range, if this is possible?

   

  Thanks in advance,

  Kev

  Try this (not tested):

  Range

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  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

  At 080000 MaxRange and MinRange will contain both extremes with +- 1 pip.
