How do I draw opening range lines?

  I just want to draw two lines, the high and low of the live trading day from a timestamp.  Essentially ORB at 45 minutes from market open.  I’ve been modifying this indicator many ways, but I just can’t get anywhere with it, and I’m losing my mind.  This should be simple…

  There you go, just change the time as best fits you:

  once maxii=undefined once minii=undefined once maxi1=undefined once mini1=undefined once maxi2=undefined once mini2=undefined once maxi3=undefined once mini3=undefined if time=090000 then maxi=high mini=low Endif maxi=max(high,maxi) mini=min(low,mini) lerange=(maxi-mini)/2 maxii=maxi minii=mini maxi1=maxi+lerange mini1=mini-lerange maxi2=maxi+2*lerange mini2=mini-2*lerange maxi3=maxi+3*lerange mini3=mini-3*lerange return maxii as "Maxi première heure de cotation", minii as "Mini première heure de cotation", maxi1 as "Maxi1" ,mini1 as "Mini1",maxi2 as "Maxi2" ,mini2 as "Mini2",maxi3 as "Maxi3" ,mini3 as "Mini3"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

  once maxii=undefined once minii=undefined once maxi1=undefined once mini1=undefined once maxi2=undefined once mini2=undefined once maxi3=undefined once mini3=undefined if time=090000 then    maxi=high    mini=low Endif maxi=max(high,maxi) mini=min(low,mini) lerange=(maxi-mini)/2 maxii=maxi minii=mini maxi1=maxi+lerange mini1=mini-lerange maxi2=maxi+2*lerange mini2=mini-2*lerange maxi3=maxi+3*lerange mini3=mini-3*lerange return maxii as "Maxi première heure de cotation", minii as "Mini première heure de cotation", maxi1 as "Maxi1" ,mini1 as "Mini1",maxi2 as "Maxi2" ,mini2 as "Mini2",maxi3 as "Maxi3" ,mini3 as "Mini3"

  Thank you for looking at this, but we are hitting the same problem.

  The lines are still draw dynamically throughout the trend, but I only need two static lines set off the highest/lowest price in the first 30 minutes after the open.  The lines would start at a time (for example 11:00 am EST and stop at the end of the trading day.

  I’ve been trying the DRAWSEGMENT command, but I can’t find good examples and the documentation is pretty thin…

  OK, some success.  I modified the code and set to 30 minute timeframe, which seems to do the range nicely.  Now I need a way to not draw the line for those first 30 minutes….

  once maxii=undefined once minii=undefined //once maxi1=undefined //once mini1=undefined //once maxi2=undefined // mini2=undefined //once maxi3=undefined //once mini3=undefined timeframe(30mn) if time=110000 then maxi=high mini=low Endif //maxi=max(high,maxi) //mini=min(low,mini) //lerange=(maxi-mini)/2 maxii=maxi minii=mini //maxi1=maxi+lerange //mini1=mini-lerange //maxi2=maxi+2*lerange //mini2=mini-2*lerange //maxi3=maxi+3*lerange //mini3=mini-3*lerange return maxii as "Maxi première heure de cotation", minii as "Mini première heure de cotation" //, maxi1 as "Maxi1" ,mini1 as "Mini1",maxi2 as "Maxi2" ,mini2 as "Mini2",maxi3 as "Maxi3" ,mini3 as "Mini3"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

  once maxii=undefined once minii=undefined //once maxi1=undefined //once mini1=undefined //once maxi2=undefined // mini2=undefined //once maxi3=undefined //once mini3=undefined timeframe(30mn) if time=110000 then maxi=high mini=low Endif //maxi=max(high,maxi) //mini=min(low,mini) //lerange=(maxi-mini)/2 maxii=maxi minii=mini //maxi1=maxi+lerange //mini1=mini-lerange //maxi2=maxi+2*lerange //mini2=mini-2*lerange //maxi3=maxi+3*lerange //mini3=mini-3*lerange return maxii as "Maxi première heure de cotation", minii as "Mini première heure de cotation"   //, maxi1 as "Maxi1" ,mini1 as "Mini1",maxi2 as "Maxi2" ,mini2 as "Mini2",maxi3 as "Maxi3" ,mini3 as "Mini3"

  how about this little code (just change the ORB and end of session times that fits you) :

  OpenRange Max-Min

  orbstart = 090000 orbend = 110000 endsession = 174500 if opentime = orbstart then ORBH = high ORBL = low endif if opentime >= orbstart and opentime <= orbend then ORBH = max(high,ORBH) ORBL = min(low,ORBL) endif alpha = 255 * (opentime > orbend and opentime <= endsession) return ORBH coloured(0,0,0, alpha) as "ORB HIGH" , ORBL coloured(0,0,0, alpha) AS "ORB LOW"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

  orbstart = 090000 orbend = 110000 endsession = 174500   if opentime = orbstart then ORBH = high ORBL = low endif if opentime >= orbstart and opentime <= orbend then ORBH = max(high,ORBH) ORBL = min(low,ORBL) endif   alpha = 255 * (opentime > orbend and opentime <= endsession)   return ORBH coloured(0,0,0, alpha) as "ORB HIGH" , ORBL coloured(0,0,0, alpha) AS "ORB LOW"
