PowerLanguage/EL How to Recalculate at Session Close

[Harlequin 10]

I currently use

 

if Date <> Date[1] then begin

 

to get an indicator to update at the end of each day, but that means I have to wait to midnight for values to be updated. I'm trying to get this to happen at 4:30PM when Globex reopens. Is there any way of using the session end time instead?

yes...

 

here are the session related keywords

(some might be MultiCharts specific)

 

Sess1EndTime

Sess1FirstBarTime

Sess1StartTime

Sess2EndTime

Sess2FirstBarTime

Sess2StartTime

SessionCount

SessionCountMS

SessionEndDay

SessionEndDayMS

SessionEndTime

SessionEndTimeMS

SessionLastBar

SessionStartDay

SessionStartDayMS

SessionStartTime

SessionStartTimeMS

you might try this one:

 

 

 

 

 

SessionEndTime

 

Returns a numerical value, indicating the time of the day that the specified session ends.

The time is indicated in the 24-hour HHmm format, where 1300 = 1:00 PM.

 

Usage

 

SessionEndTime( SessionType , SessionNum )

 

Where:

SessionType - a numerical expression: 0 = Auto Detect, 1 = Regular Session*

SessionNum - a numerical expression specifying the Session Number

 

* Custom Sessions parameters will be used if selected in QuoteManager.

 

Example

 

Assign a value, indicating the time of the day that the 4th regular session ends, to Value1 variable:

 

Value1 = SessionEndTime(1,4);

You might also look for a thread that discusses plotting globex highs and lows. Several tricks and tips related to session times where discussed there.

Thanks for help. Looks like Sess1StartTime is what I need to use, I'm just having a problem making a loop which increments each every day at that time. I'll search for that thread on Globex high/lows and see what I can find.

 

Cheers.

I'm pretty sure that will see you right. It had several approaches with complete code.
