draw horizontal lines based on particular bar high low open close

[sampras010]

Hi everyone. I'd like to know how I should go about creating an indicator that takes a range chart for instance, and for each session excluding the current session, draw horizontal lines on the ohlc of the bar with highest volume (of that session), I haven't been able to find similar indicators, and I'm having trouble visualizing the simplest way

Hi Chris,
I'm still trying to get this to work. I tried first to change the color of the bar with highest volume for each session


with this code each higher bar till the highest bar are changed instead of just the highest volume bar

private double rede ;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{


rede = MAX(Volume, Bars.BarsSinceSession - 1)[0];

if ( Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
{
rede = 0;
}


if( Volume[0] == rede )

{


BarColor= Color.Yellow;
}


}

Hello sampras010,

Thank you for your patience.

The attached script will draw a ray from the OHL of the highest volume bar of all previous sessions loaded on your chart.

The script checks if the current working bar is the first updated bar of the session with Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession then draws a ray at the OHL of the highest volume of the previous session. CurrentBar keeps a count of the number of bars that have been processed. For example, if a chart has 100 bars of data, the very first bar of the chart (left most bar) will be number 0 (zero) and each subsequent bar from left to right is incremented by 1.

Thanks Chris,
I've been trying to get your script into an indicator, but I'm getting a "no suitable method found to override" error
