Time range indicator

I've found a couple versions of this indicator. It is supposed to draw a line at the low and high of whatever times are selected. But the problem I keep having with it is that it doesn't include the very first bar of the day. I do not have the ability to code this for myself so I'm hoping that someone may have already fixed this and would be willing to share it.

Thanks

Kfox_1,

Hopefully another community member can modify for you.

This indicator doesn't start plotting until after the end hour has passed. This is expected since it's not possible to set an historical plot value that is based on future data.

One alternative here is using drawing objects to draw on the historical levels, similar to my indicator here.

Daily Levels

Your code works very well for the day as a whole and appears to be quite accurate. I don't think I was very clear though on what the code I posted does. It's supposed to plot trend lines at the high and low of the times selected. So for example if I want to see lines drawn to show the range of the first thirty minutes of the day this code is supposed to do that and extend them til the close. What happens however is that if the first bar on the chart turns out to be the actual low of the first thirty minute period it doesn't show that. It shows the second bars low. So what's happening is that the first bar of the day( regardless of time frame selected) isn't used as part of the calculation.

The way your code works appears to calculate everything properly. Is it possible to have an EndTime function added to it so that it will stop adding higher/lower prices after the end time? Obviously I'd still like the lines to plot to the end of the day.

Sorry to be such a bother it's just that with the free version of NT I'm not able to build my own codes.
Thanks

I see what you're saying. If this is consistent across every session, you should be able to modify pretty easily.

If you wanted one additional bar to be included you can add + 1 to the MAX and MIN bars ago values.

double highestHigh = MAX(High, (startBarsAgo - endBarsAgo) + 1)[endBarsAgo];

Thank you very much for the key to use so I can do my own work. I wasn't aware of this.

Many thanks
