Removing "connection" lines on PriorDayOHLC

[Surly]

HI - I use the stock PriorDayOHLC indicator on minute-based RTH charts. The indicator has an annoying artifact which is that there is a "connecting line" drawn from the High line (same for OLC) of the day prior to the High line of the current day. I'd like to get rid of this line as it makes reading the first bar of all my RTH charts difficult. Can anyone give me simple instructions on how to do this?

I don't want to erase the lines from previous days - just get rid of the "connecting" lines.

thanks!

Hi Surly,

Plots will draw continuously for every bar, so there is no easy technique to disable the connecting lines. You could use drawing objects like lines instead, but these will cause a much greater resource demand than plots.

If you are willing to lose the value for the first bar each day, you could try setting transparent then.

if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
{
PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Transparent;
PlotColors[1][0] = Color.Transparent;
PlotColors[2][0] = Color.Transparent;
}

Thanks - that was exactly what I needed. There were 4 plots so I just added one more line to your code example. happy holidays!

I'm glad that worked for you. Thanks for the follow up and Happy Holidays!

You can place this block of code just before you "Initialize the current day settings to the new days (sic) data".

if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
{
PriorOpen.Reset(1);
PriorHigh.Reset(1);
PriorLow.Reset(1);
PriorClose.Reset(1);
}

Wouldn't changing the lines from solid to hash be the easiest fix?
