The Tic That Bugged Me

[pitrader 10]

I was hoping that you guys can help me in some coding for TS. What I need is an indicator that will tell me what 1 tick above the current high and 1 tick below the current low is. I need it displayed in the price pane where the current price is displayed and whatever color I want. It would also have to work on tick charts. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

can you draw a picture to show what you mean?

Here you go:

 

Inputs:
Hcol(Green),
Lcol(Red);

Plot1(H+(1 Point),"Hplus",Hcol);
Plot2(L-(1 Point),"Lminus",Lcol);

 

Hope that helps!

var: tic(minmove/pricescale), pt(1 point);

 

plot1(tic,"tic");

plot2(pt,"pt");

See if this comes close to what you want:

 

//7-24-12

input: TicAmt(0.25), ShowOnlyOneOver(True), DaysToShow(2),
	ShowAftrHrs(True); // True will plot lines for after hours also

//hh=higher high, ll=lower low
var: DayHrs(False), AftrHrs(False), NewDay(False),
hl(False),
Peak(False),Bttm(False),
pk2(False), Bttm2(False),
CrrntHi(0), CrrntLw(0);

Method void MainMethod()
Begin

DataProcessing(); // Call Method subroutine to calc Peak and Bttm signals

If NewDay then Begin // Reset the Hi and Low at the Beg of a new day
	CrrntHi = H;
	CrrntLw = L;
End;

// If it's after hours, and the input is set to exclude After Hours, then quit here
If ShowAftrHrs = False and Aftrhrs[1] = False and Aftrhrs then Begin
	CrrntHi = 0;
	CrrntLw = 0;
	Return;
End;

If Peak or pk2 then
	CrrntHi = H[1];

If Bttm or Bttm2 then
	CrrntLw = L[1];

RunPlots();

End;

Method void DataProcessing()
Begin
DayHrs=T>930 and T<1558;
AftrHrs = (T>1558 and T<2300) or (T>200 and T<930);
NewDay = D[2] <> D[1];

Peak=h<=h[1] and H[1] >= H[2];
Pk2 = h<=h[1] and C[1] > O[1] and C[1] < O[2];

Bttm=l>l[1] and L[1] <= L[2];
Bttm2 = L>L[1] and C[1] < O[1] and C[1] > O[2];
End;

Method void RunPlots()
Begin

if CrrntHi > 0 and ShowOnlyOneOver = False then plot1(CrrntHi, "Current High") else NoPlot(1);
if CrrntLw > 0 and ShowOnlyOneOver = False then plot2(CrrntLw, "Current Low") else NoPlot(2);

if CrrntHi > 0 then plot3(CrrntHi + TicAmt, "High Plus") else NoPlot(2);
if CrrntLw > 0 then plot4(CrrntLw - TicAmt, "Low Plus") else NoPlot(4);

End;

Method void OnError(int ErrorNum)
Begin
print("Error! ", ErrorNum, "Time of Error=", T);
End;

{ This triggers the Main Method subroutine to run, and restricts the lines to the
number of days set to show in the INPUT}
If DateToJulian(D) > (LastCalcJDate - DaysToShow) then Begin
MainMethod(); // Process the lines being drawn	
End;

That's probably a good idea, as I didn't test the code myself - if it doesn't work though, I am sure Onesmith's will!

I need it displayed in the price pane where the current price is displayed

 

Hi PitTrader

Do U mean something like this ?

 

[pitrader 10]

Actually the code from BH worked just great. thanx
