New indicator giving the profit

  Hi.

  I’m trying to develop an indicator which can give the profit of a simulated trade. My problem is that this will not be a Backtest, only an indicator. I will start the trades every day at 9:00 at stop at 21:00 (supposed datas) but I cannot use POSITIONPERF because there will be no open trade, only an indication of the profit/loss since 9:00 hours. I only want to know if I have profit or losses (histogram 0/1), but if it can also give the amount would be better.

  I tried to work with something like

  IF time>090000 THEN

  but I don’t know how to save the data of the open price at 9:00 hours. If this could be possible, then I should only calculate the difference of close[0] and open[at 9:00 hours].

  How can I calculate this difference between the present close and the open price at a given time/date?

   

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi, a similar indicator has already been coded by RicLg, you can find it in the french forum here:

  If I remember correctly it were working correctly in its last version you can find at the end of the thread. Maybe you’ll need to add your time conditions though.
