Hello,

You can do this by using the GetNextBeginEnd

Details for using this are found here:

Let me know if I can further assist.

Hi Lance!

Thx for your quick reply...

Could u give me a little hint please?

Before I tried this...

Add(PeriodType.Week, 1);
Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
Add(PeriodType.Month, 1);

But I don't know find solution with BarsArray[1] Time[0] //Weekly open time.
Or if it's better to get barsago...that would be great too...

thanks again.

Getting the opening time of a weekly bar gets a bit more complicated. The time stamp of a bar reported will always be the closing time. Depending on your data provider and instrument being used you might be able to get the closing time stamp and subtract ~7 days

Time[0] would get you the correct time when run in real time with CalculateOnBarClose = false
But in a backtest it would only return at the close of the bar

Another route would be to take a smaller series and pull the time value from that at the start of the week.

Let me know if I can further assist.

This is what i tried:


CalculateOnBarClose = false;


Add(PeriodType.Week, 1);
Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
Add(PeriodType.Month, 1);


if (Bars.GetDayBar(2) != null && BarsInProgress == 2)
{
yesterdayOpen = Time[2];
dailyOpen = Time[1];
}


if (Bars.GetDayBar(2) != null && BarsInProgress == 0)
{
DrawLine("d_open", false, dailyOpen, DOpenprice, Time[0].AddHours(3), DOpenprice, Color.Magenta, DashStyle.Solid, 1); // daily open line

DrawLine("y_open", false, yesterdayOpen, YOpenprice, Time[0].AddHours(3), YOpenprice, Color.FromArgb(255,255,195,255), DashStyle.Solid, 1); // yesterday open line
}




And the error message is:

Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'Keri' on bar 192: Keri.DrawLine: startTime must be greater/equal the minimum Date but was 0001.01.01. 0:00:00

This indicator package contains 6 indicators. The anaCurrentDayOHLV42, anaCurrentWeekOHLV42 and anaCurrentMonthOHLV42 indicators display the daily, weekly and monthly open. Yesterday's open is only displayedm because it is August 2nd now.

The indicators use the session template to detect the open bar. You need to use anappropriate session template - as selected under instrument settings - to get the correct open. With subdivided session templates it is also possible to display the regular open instead of the full session open.
