Changes to CurrentDayOHL indicator

[2Look4me]

chinapassage,

Try the following code with the NT CurrentDayOHL indicator. It will give you the High & Low starting with the night session. As for the Open, you have the option to change it to any time you need. I trade futures, but like to keep tabs when the market opens, so mine is CST, 8:30 am.

Hope this this is what you need.

if (currentDate != Bars.GetTradingDayFromLocal(Time[0]) || currentOpen == double.MinValue)
            {
                currentOpen     =     Open[CurrentBar-Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(Time[0].Year,Time[0].Month,Time[0].Day,8,30,0))]; 
                currentHigh     =     High[0];
                currentLow        =    Low[0];
                sameDay         =   false;
            }

            currentHigh     =     Math.Max(currentHigh, High[0]);
            currentLow        =     Math.Min(currentLow, Low[0]);
            
            if(ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(8,30,0))
            {
                currentOpen = Open[0];
                PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Transparent;
            }
            
            if(currentDate == Bars.GetTradingDayFromLocal(Time[0]) && ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(8,30,0))
                currentOpen = Close[CurrentBar-Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(Time[0].Year,Time[0].Month,Time[0].Day,8,30,0))];

Thanks,
i got it to work on a minute chart good... but when i stick it with the rotation bar type charts it looks at the bar instead of the "time" ... if anyone happens to know what needs to be changed in this code so that i can select the exact tick for a given time would be great thx:


i have attached the indicator below if someone needed to see the code it was to big to type into here

Hello chinapassage,

If you are running this on a minute chart the time (Time[0]) will refer to the close time of that bar. For example if the market opens at 9:00, then the first bar close will be at 9:01 (after the first minute has elapsed and the bar has closed).

If you want to find the first tick of a bar or a session, you will need to add a 1 tick data series to your script. (historically, 1 minute data does not have tick information)

Below is a link to the help guide on adding a data series.

BarsInProgress allows you to see which data series is triggering OnBarUpdate.

Times (plural) - allows you to check the time of a specific series. (Times[barsinprogress index][bars ago index])

Also, below is a link to how the bars in the data series are indexed when there are multiple data series.
