Half Gap Fill Indicator for TS

[Jumbo123 10]

Hello everyone,

 

I have a small favor to ask for those of you who are very good at easy language. I do not have any programming experience and would like to see if any of you programmers may assist me.

 

I like to see if you can code a half gap fill indicator that displays a horizontal line with text of HG or Half Gap Fill based on yesterday's 4:15 close and today's 9:30 open. Please advise. Thank you very much in advance.

 

With warm regards,

 

J

it would help if you can draw a picture to illustrate your thoughts.

Ok Tams,

 

Please see the attachment. ES closed at 63.25 last Friday. It opened at 67 this morning. That means half gap fill is at 65.125. I rounded it up to 65.25. As soon as the market opens, a horizontal line should be drawn based on yesterday's close and today's open to show where the half gap fill is. Today is a perfect example that the market went down to fill the half gap and started to rally. Please advise. Thank you.

give this a try....

 

I have included 3 plots, (for prev close, today's open, and the half gap point)

you can set them as a cross or a point,

or simply use // to blank them out if you don't want to see them.

 

 

Enjoy !

 

 

p.s. I have written this code on MultiCharts. I have not tested it on TradeStation or other EasyLanguage compatible programs.

Thank you Tams.

 

So this red line will change in a daily basis, right?

 

Thanks again!

the red line will change as soon as a new day begins and the openning tick is published.
