High and Low of User Input

Recommended Posts

Language: Easylanguage

Software: Open Ecry

 

Idea: Looking for a way to plot a dot at the high and low of whatever time I put in ( eg, High and Low for RTH only).

 

 

I know there are a lot of these types of indicators around, the only thing is that using OEC, it doesnt like the use of trendlines. So it would have to use plots. I found one that kind of does what I am looking for, but it takes the High of the Day ( starting at 12:00am). Tried a lot of different things, but no such luck.

 

Any help is appreciated.

So... are you after a dot to plot for the high & low of the day (RTH hours only ) .... or..... to plot a dot for the high & low of the bar for the specific time you enter ?

I would like it plot a dot for the High and Low of start and end time that I have the ability to modify.

 

For example:

Time Start: 930

Time End: 1615

 

That would plot a dot for the highest high and highest low for that time.

No Probs, here you go :

 

Inputs:

StartTime(0933), { you'll have to use the closing time of the bar }

EndTime(1030);

 

vars:

HH(0),LL(0);

 

 

If Time =StartTime then begin

HH=High;

LL=Low;

end;

 

If Time > StartTime and Time <= EndTime then begin

If High > HH then HH = High;

If Low < LL then LL = Low;

end;

 

 

If Time >= EndTime then begin

Plot1(HH,"HighestHigh");

Plot2(LL,"LowestLow");

end;

 

A little tip....... if you only want it to plot once rather than every bar after the end time, then use this line "If Time = EndTime then begin...."

 

Hope this helps

Blu-ray,

 

Looks good so far. Just wondering if there was a way to do the following:

So instead of only plotting the High and Low when the end time is reached, it plots the High and low during that time in real time?

 

If not, not a huge deal. Thanks for the help.

Sure, just modify these lines :

 

If Time >= EndTime then begin <<<<<<< Delete this line

Plot1(HH,"HighestHigh");

Plot2(LL,"LowestLow");

end <<<<<<< Delete this line

 

Hope this helps
