Hi @Voyager
You can easily adjust the graph yourself:
Set your “units” to 72
Limit your chart view from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
(All candles will display the Open High Low and Close…)
Hi JS thanks for responding. I was hoping more something like this. Was wondering if this is possible out of the box or will I need to program some custom indicator? Say I have a chart with a n number of candles on screen. I’d like to see the high, low, open and close only for the set of candles on screen like below. Additionally when trading an instrument such as Australia 200 Cash CFD the price data is continuous as it is based on the futures price which trade 24 hours a day 5 days a week. And this makes it hard to see the times that matter which are the opening hours (in this case 10am-4pm). So was wondering is there a way to have color-coded session breaks like this? Thanks and appreciate your input.Hi @Voyager
Here is the full indicator with colored background and text…
Perhaps needless to say:
- Import the “itf -file” (under “Indicators”)
- Add the indicator below the “Price” (top left of your chart)
SessionStart = 100000 SessionEnd = 160000 If OpenTime >= SessionStart and OpenTime <= SessionEnd then r = 255 g = 255 b = 0 t = 255 Else r = 255 g = 255 b = 255 t = 255 EndIf BackGroundColor(r,g,b,t) If OpenTime = SessionStart then xOpen = Open ElsIf OpenTime = SessionEnd then xClose = Close xHigh = Highest[72](High) xLow = Lowest[72](Low) EndIf N=72 For i=0 to N-1 If Open[i] = xOpen then DrawText("Open=#xOpen#",BarIndex-i+5, xOpen,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) ElsIf High[i] = xHigh then DrawText("High=#xHigh#",BarIndex-i, xHigh+5,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) ElsIf Low[i] = xLow then DrawText("Low=#xLow#",BarIndex-i, xLow-5,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) ElsIf Close[i+1] = xClose then DrawText("Close=#xClose#",BarIndex-i, xClose,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) EndIf Next ReturnVoyager thanked this postHi @Voyager thanks for the code snippets, much appreciated! You’ve helped me resolve the colored background for the session and that’s visually very helpful and that bit is all good now. Regarding the annotation of the chart with the Session Open, Close, High and Low it’s getting really close to what I had in mind. I was wondering if it were possible to access specific bars based on specific time conditions and not just based on using the index offsets. The reason for this is if I switch from a 5m chart to a 15m chart the offset is no longer 72 candles but instead only 24 15 minute bars between 10am-4pm. And if I switch to a 10m it will be 36 bars. Perhaps this will illustrate better what I mean. I’ve added some pseudo-code in [brackets]:
Also while playing around with the settings, I came across Dynamic Horizontal Line and was wondering if we could utilise that in the code instead of using DrawText? But if that is not possible (I’m guessing it will draw 4 lines for every single day thus cluttering the entire chart?) the text annotation is very much good enough. Thanks for your input.SessionStart = 100000 SessionEnd = 160000 If OpenTime >= SessionStart and OpenTime <= SessionEnd then r = 229 g = 255 b = 204 t = 80 Else r = 255 g = 255 b = 255 t = 0 EndIf BackGroundColor(r,g,b,t) If OpenTime = SessionStart then xOpen = Open ElsIf OpenTime = SessionEnd then xClose = Close xHigh = [Highest price during the period between 10am-4pm?] xLow = [Lowest price during the period between 10am-4pm?] EndIf // Annotate chart DrawText(xOpen) DrawText(xClose) DrawText(xHigh) DrawText(xLow) [Or use Dynamic Horizontal Line if possible?] ReturnHi @Voyager
The problem with the text can be solved with “GetTimeFrame”
“GetTimeFrame” gives the time frame in seconds so you can calculate the periods with:
GTF = GetTimeFrame
Period = 3600 / GTF * 6
SessionStart = 100000 SessionEnd = 160000 If OpenTime >= SessionStart and OpenTime <= SessionEnd then r = 255 g = 255 b = 0 t = 255 Else r = 255 g = 255 b = 255 t = 255 EndIf BackGroundColor(r,g,b,t) GTF = GetTimeFrame Period = 3600 / GTF * 6 If OpenTime = SessionStart then xOpen = Open ElsIf OpenTime = SessionEnd then xClose = Close xHigh = Highest[Period](High) xLow = Lowest[Period](Low) EndIf For i=0 to Period-1 If Open[i] = xOpen then DrawText("Open=#xOpen#",BarIndex-i, xOpen,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) ElsIf High[i] = xHigh then DrawText("High=#xHigh#",BarIndex-i, xHigh+5,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) ElsIf Low[i] = xLow then DrawText("Low=#xLow#",BarIndex-i, xLow-5,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) ElsIf Close[i+1] = xClose then DrawText("Close=#xClose#",BarIndex-i, xClose,SansSerif,Bold,15)Coloured(255,0,0) EndIf Next ReturnHi @JS thanks for the new code using time to calculate the daily highs and lows. I saw your attached screenshot and it looks great however I seem to be unable to reproduce it on my end? I copied your code as is. I was confused because I keep getting lots of overlapping text during the Market Open hours (i.e. the periods with highlighted background) such that it becomes unreadable. And also in your screenshot there is no text annotation for the Market Close hours which is what I was expecting on my end too. However I get a lot of “noise” during Market Close periods with lots of Highs and Lows being reported which I was surprised because they fall outside the time period that the IF statement should take care of? Any idea what could be causing this overlapping and unclear text?
