DrawRectangle in main panel

[siroki]

Hi,

I'm trying to draw a rectangle based on specific time and their corresponding high/low values.

So far I came up with this:

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 10000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 100000) {
				DrawRectangle("Tokyo_" + Time[0].ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"), false, 2, High[2], 1, Low[2], Color.Transparent, Color.Cyan, 3);
			}
			if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 90000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 180000) {
				DrawRectangle("London_" + Time[0].ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"), false, 2, High[2], 1, Low[2], Color.Transparent, Color.Yellow, 3);
			}
			if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 140000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 230000) {
				DrawRectangle("NewYork_" + Time[0].ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"), false, 2, High[2], 1, Low[2], Color.Transparent, Color.Fuchsia, 3);
			}
        }

I know I have to replace the 2, High[2],1 Low[2] etc values for StartTime and EndTime values. But I need to know how to also lookup the highest and lowest barvalues for that timespan.

Is there some function like FindHighByTime(time) to find the high price of the bar of the time I gave? And ofcourse also something like FindLowByTime.

Or maybe something like NumberOfBarsSinceTime(time).. If I have the number of bars, the I can use Highest[<and use the value the last function gave me>]

Looking forward to your suggestions.

MAX(), MIN(), GetBar().

Look them up in the NT Help, a very useful resource, but only if we use it.

Ah! I didnt know about GetBar().. Solves my problem. Thanks. Here is how I did it.

It shows the overlapping period between two sessions. Rectacle updates along with the high/low of that overlapping period.

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			int year 	= Convert.ToInt16(Time[0].ToString("yyyy"));
			int month	= Convert.ToInt16(Time[0].ToString("MM"));
			int day 	= Convert.ToInt16(Time[0].ToString("dd"));
			
			if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 90000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 100000) {
				int barsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(year, month, day, 9, 0, 0));
				DrawRectangle("Tokyo_London" + Time[0].ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"), false, barsAgo, Highs[0][HighestBar(High, barsAgo)], 0, Lows[0][LowestBar(Low, barsAgo)], Color.Transparent, Color.Cyan, 6);
			}
			if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 140000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 180000) {
				int barsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(year, month, day, 14, 0, 0));
				DrawRectangle("London_NewYork" + Time[0].ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"), false, barsAgo, Highs[0][HighestBar(High, barsAgo)], 0, Lows[0][LowestBar(Low, barsAgo)], Color.Transparent, Color.Yellow, 6);
			}
        }
