Marking highs and lows based on opening and closing prices.

  Hi,

  Do you have any ideas on how to mark the high and low of a time range, e.g., 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., on the chart?

  It is important that the highs and lows are marked only on the basis of the candle bodies, i.e., without wicks and shadows. I wrote it once on a closing price basis. However, it is sometimes the case that the opening prices mark the lower or upper end, and then the line is not correct.

   

  // Dailyreset
  IF Day <> Day[1] THEN
  hiClose = Close
  loClose = Close
  ENDIF

  // Collecting only between 08:00 and 14:30
  IF Time >= 080000 AND Time <= 143000 THEN
  hiClose = MAX(hiClose, Close)
  loClose = MIN(loClose, Close)
  ENDIF

  // Drawing Line from 14:30
  IF Time >= 143000 THEN
  DRAWSEGMENT(barindex, hiClose, barindex + 1, hiClose) COLOURED(165,42,42)style(dottedline, 3)
  DRAWSEGMENT(barindex, loClose, barindex + 1, loClose) COLOURED(165,42,42)style(dottedline, 3)
  ENDIF

  There you go:

  // Dailyreset //IF Day <> Day[1] THEN //hiClose = Close //loClose = Close //ENDIF // Collecting only between 08:00 and 12:00 IF OpenTime >= 080000 AND OpenTime <= 120000 THEN if OpenTime = 080000 THEN hiClose = Close loClose = Close endif hiClose = MAX(hiClose, Close) loClose = MIN(loClose, Close) ENDIF // Drawing Line from 12:00 IF OpenTime >= 120000 THEN DRAWSEGMENT(barindex, hiClose, barindex + 1, hiClose) COLOURED(165,42,42)style(dottedline, 3) DRAWSEGMENT(barindex, loClose, barindex + 1, loClose) COLOURED(165,42,42)style(dottedline, 3) ENDIF return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

  // Dailyreset //IF Day <> Day[1] THEN //hiClose = Close //loClose = Close //ENDIF   // Collecting only between 08:00 and 12:00 IF OpenTime >= 080000 AND OpenTime <= 120000 THEN    if OpenTime = 080000 THEN       hiClose = Close       loClose = Close    endif    hiClose = MAX(hiClose, Close)    loClose = MIN(loClose, Close) ENDIF   // Drawing Line from 12:00 IF OpenTime >= 120000 THEN    DRAWSEGMENT(barindex, hiClose, barindex + 1, hiClose) COLOURED(165,42,42)style(dottedline, 3)    DRAWSEGMENT(barindex, loClose, barindex + 1, loClose) COLOURED(165,42,42)style(dottedline, 3) ENDIF return

  Please select the correct language. I moved it from the German forum. Thanks 🙂

  Hi Roberto,

  I probably didn’t express myself clearly.

  However, the formula you showed only depicts the range in the period shown on a close basis.

  In the image, you can see that the range would be higher if you also wanted to use the open (high, low).

  In other words, I want to see the lowest price and the highest price of all candlesticks in the period. I don’t know how to include the open price in the calculation.
