Indicator for setting previous day HLOC
-
Hi,
Currently each morning I set previous day high (PDH), low (PDL), market open (PDMO) and market close (PDC) manually by adding lines to the chart. Since I am following 20+ markets and have custom alerts setup, it’s quite tedious to do this task every day. When the alert comes in, I check the relation between price/alert and the PD lines. Going through the code, I can see that I can add an indicator with DRAWHLINE and DRAWTEXT to achieve this, but I could not find a way to define a time frame for the code to look into, i.e. e.g. when looking at DAX I want the indicator to only look at the bars between 9:00-17:30. Since DAX is an index the data available is 24/6, but this is not what I want the Indicator to take into the consideration.
I was thinking of using IF statement to check the bar data, such as time and date and compare it with the requirements, but unfortunately I cannot find an instruction or peace of code which could help me to verify the bar datetime value.
If anyone has a better idea how to achieve the required I would be very grateful.
Here is a view of the chart and lines I have currently setup manually.
There you go:
// DAX example // // the TF used must show candles that close on both the starting and ending time // (in this case it must be a 30-minute TF or lower, but not, say, 7 minutes, as its candles do not close at HH:30) // DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = true ONCE StartTime = 090000 //Time window (start) ONCE EndTime = 173000 //Time windows (end) ONCE PDH = high //Previous Day High ONCE PDL = low //Previous DayLow ONCE DH = high //current Day High ONCE DL = low //current Day Low ONCE PDMO = 0 //Previous Day Market Open ONCE MO = 0 //current Day Market Open ONCE PDC = 0 //Previous Day Close ONCE PDMObar = 0 ONCE PDHbar = 0 ONCE PDLbar = 0 ONCE PDCbar = 0 ONCE MObar = 0 ONCE DHbar = 0 ONCE DLbar = 0 HR = highest[4](range) MyATR = AverageTrueRange[100](close) Offset1 = MyATR * 1.5 Offset2 = MyATR IF OpenTime = StartTime THEN PDMO = MO PDMObar = MObar MO = open MObar = BarIndex PDH = DH PDHbar = DHbar DH = high DHbar = BarIndex PDL = DL PDLbar = DLbar DL = low DLbar = BarIndex ENDIF IF OpenTime = EndTime THEN PDC = close PDCbar = BarIndex ENDIF DH = max(DH,high) DL = min(DL,low) IF DH <> DH[1] THEN DHbar = BarIndex ENDIF IF DL <> DL[1] THEN DLbar = BarIndex ENDIF IF PDCbar THEN DrawText("PDMO #PDMO#",PDMObar,PDMO + Offset1 + HR) coloured(255,0,0,255) //Red DrawText("↓",PDMObar,PDMO + HR) coloured(255,0,0,255) // DrawText("PDC #PDC#",PDCbar,PDC + Offset1 + HR) coloured(0,128,0,155) //Green DrawText("↓",PDCbar,PDC + HR) coloured(0,128,0,155) // DrawText("PDH #PDH#",PDHbar,PDH + Offset1) coloured(0,0,255,255) //Blue DrawText("↓",PDHbar,PDH + Offset2) coloured(0,0,255,255) // DrawText("PDL #PDL#",PDLbar,PDL - Offset1) coloured(0,0,255,255) //Blue DrawText("↑",PDLbar,PDL - Offset2) coloured(0,0,255,255) ENDIF RETURN2point1 thanked this post
