Summing from a specific bar time

IG_CFD_Trader · 2021-07-26T09:48:02+00:00

Hello, in a intraday setting, what’s the best and most effective code to sum the lows and highs of every bar starting from the 10am bar and resetting each day at intradaybarindex=0? Code has to work across all intraday timeframes ie starts summing from 10am bar onwards (including the 10am bar itself)

```
If IntraDayBarIndex = 0 then
   HIs = 0
   LOs = 0
Endif
If OpenTime >= 100000 then
  HIs = HIs + high
  LOs = LOs + low
Endif
```
HIs and LOs will retain the sums you need.

It hasn’t worked accurately. Something needs to be fixed.

Incidentally if I run the below test code:

b= opentime = 100000
return b

It returns 1 at every opentime = 100000 including today, yesterday and every history day in chart.

I need it to return 1 on ONLY the 10am bar of the current trading day.
