Select a specific candle with a screener

  Hello,

  In order to optimize one of my stock screeners, I’m looking for a possibility to select a single candle.

  For example the first candle of the month , or the candle between 08:00 and 09:00 and integrate this into my screener.

  The following condition to select on price levels is already successfully integrated:

  Select on price

  PriceCond = 0 IF close >= 10 AND close <= 25 THEN PriceCond = 1 ENDIF

  1 2 3 4

  PriceCond = 0 IF close >= 10 AND close <= 25 THEN    PriceCond = 1 ENDIF

  Is it possible to create a coding rule for this? I came up with the one below, but that does not work at all………………..

  elect on Time?

  Time= 0 IF time >=080000 AND time<=090000 THEN Time= 1 ENDIF

  1 2 3 4

  Time= 0 IF time >=080000 AND time<=090000 THEN Time= 1 ENDIF

  Thank you

  You cannot use TIME as a variable, since it’s a system constant that cannot be altered.

  Use MyTime, instead.

  Your idea is fine, it will do.

  Selecting the first candle of the month can be done, provided there are no more than 253 candles from then on, si it would be impossible on a TF lower than 4 hours. You’ll need to scan backwards till you find the month’s first day.
