you can declare a set of variables for the morning session, and a set of variables for the evening session. e.g. var: G_morn_H(0), G_morn_L(0), G_even_H(0), G_even_L(0); then assign the respective highs and lows to the respective variables. then plot the max of the 2 high variables, and the min of the 2 low variables. This is the idea. I will throw something together later tonight.

is your chart on 24hr session?

if you post the code, I can polish it for you.

give this a try. (This is EasyLanguage code) it is the moving average... when the Close is larger than the average, the color is blue, when the Close is smaller than the average, the color is red. set the plot to thick Histogram. this will give you an idea how the band is done. . heat_histogram.txt

do yourself a favor... write down your thoughts this way: -- one action at a time, -- one action per sentence, -- one sentence per line... at the end of this exercise, you will have your strategy written in EasyLanguage !

can you post a sample?

input: begin_time(0800); <-- change the ; to , (comma) end_time(1500); if time > begin_time and time < end_time then begin If average(close,5) crosses over average(close,20) then buy next bar at market; If average(close,5) crosses under average(close,20) then sellshort next bar at market; end; if time > end_time then begin if marketposition > 0 then sell next bar at market; if marketposition < 0 then buytocover next bar at market; end;

If it is not the identifier, then I don't know what is wrong. :-(

yes of course, you will need the order identifier. I was posting the concept and the mechanics, I wasn't giving you the ready-to-run code. e.g. If average(close,5) crosses over average(close,20) then buy ("B1") next bar at market; If average(close,5) crosses under average(close,20) then sellshort ("S1") next bar at market; if time > end_time then begin if marketposition > 0 then sell ("ExL") next bar at market; if marketposition < 0 then buytocover ("ExS") next bar at market;

can you post the error message? either a copy-and-paste, or a screen shot capture.

I have to see the code and the error message before I know what went wrong. :-(

i.e. we are still in the shxt hole. :-( no, those are not my charts. ;-) I swiped them from http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:market_analysis:dow_theory for illustration purpose only.

you can use any variable name in place of "end_time". just make sure the value is in 24hr format.

{--- EOD liquidation ---} is a descriptive comment of the following code.

to be more precise... the condition should include the end_time. My original code was intended for RTH trading. edit: If you keep the original code running 24hrs, it will trigger entries after the EOD liquidation. However, as soon as the order is filled, the EOD routine will liquidate it at the next bar. if time > begin_time and [b][color="Red"]time < end_time[/color][/b] then begin {--- put your strategy here ---} end;

add these to your strategy: input: begin_time(0930), end_time(1545); if time > begin_time then begin {--- put your strategy here ---} end; {--- EOD liquidation ---} if time > end_time then begin if marketposition > 0 then sell next bar at market; if marketposition < 0 then buytocover next bar at market; end;

I always had problem with delete. You can try this method and see if it does what you want. . Avg_hor.txt

Round Returns the value of one specified numerical expression rounded to the number of decimal places specified by another. Usage Round(Value,Precision) Where: Value - a numerical expression Precision - a numerical expression Examples Round(1.237,2) will return a value of 1.24 Round(-5.7744,3) will return a value of –5.774

if you can draw a mock up... it would help.

You are lucky... I have 30 mins free... You can select to display the lines only, or with numbers. (for minute chart only) . Fibo_w_line_and_number.txt

with some tweaking, you can modify the code to do what you want. I am busy in the next 2 weeks, if I have some time in April, I will take a look at it for you.
