Identify time to calculate Highest High & Lowest Low

  I’m facing issue to define the time of calculation in the code.

  I am implementing a code that calculates the highest high and lowest low of a specific period (form 01:00 am to 16:30 pm)

  startime = 010000 endtime = 163000 // calculate highest high and lowest low of the last 15 hours , start calculation at 4:30 pm if time = endtime then HighestHigh = highest[15](Close) LowestLow = lowest[15](close) ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  startime = 010000 endtime = 163000   // calculate highest high and lowest low of the last 15 hours , start calculation at 4:30 pm if time = endtime then HighestHigh = highest[15](Close) LowestLow = lowest[15](close) ENDIF

  The code is working good without the IF condition, but when I add IF condition to specify the time of calculation it is not working.

  Your support and feedback is highly appreciated

  Your code to scan the last 15 hours needs to be used on a 1-hour chart, but in this case endtime is wrong because it ends on a 30-minute boundary.

  Try this one:

  starttime = 010000 endtime = 163000 once HI = 0 once LO = 999999 if opentime = starttime then HI = high LO = low endif if (opentime > starttime) and (opentime <= endtime( then HI = max(HI,high) LO = min(LO,low) endif

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

  starttime = 010000 endtime  = 163000 once HI = 0 once LO = 999999 if opentime = starttime then    HI = high   LO = low endif if (opentime > starttime) and (opentime <= endtime( then    HI = max(HI,high)    LO = min(LO,low) endif

  Modification :

   

  // calculate highest high and lowest low of the first 14 hours , from 01 am to 4:00 pm , the calculation will happen at 4:30

  if Time >= starttime AND Time <= endtime Then

  HighestHigh = highest[14](close)

  LowestLow = lowest[14](close)

  ENDIF

  Thank you for your solution , I tried it but is doesn’t work too , I used 1 hour time frame already

  My main problem is the ( IF condition doesn’t work ) when I insert it with the calculation of the highest and lowest

  The calculation itself is working with me , which is

  HighestHigh = highest[14](close)

  LowestLow = lowest[14](close)

  but I need to specify the time period of calculated bars ( first 15 bars ) using IF condition , as follows :

  if Time >= starttime AND Time <= endtime Then

  HighestHigh = highest[14](close)

  LowestLow = lowest[14](close)

  ENDIF

  the previous statement doesn’t work.

  You DON’T have to use  1-hour TF, as I already said, because the TF  must be on a 30-minute boundary,
