HiLo of a specific time period

[pipal]

Hello,

I am building a strategy using the wizard. I want to make a condition regarding the high / low of the time period, e.g. if Close (Price) > High (Price) between 10:00am - 11:00am. Is it possible and how I can accomplish this? Thanks.

Pipal, thank you for your questions, and what you wish to accomplish is possible in the wizard.

In one of your condition sets, you can check the timestamps of each bar to see if they're in the range you have set. The next step would be to store the highs and lows into a user defined variable only if the bar's high [low] is higher [lower] than your stored variable.

See attached screen shot to get an idea for how you can do this for the highs side.

Thanks Austin. It works.

Hi,

I used the wizard to make a condition / action based on the HiLo of a period. However it doesn't work fine.

I want to enter a long position if the close (0) is higher than the highesthigh of the specific period (1000-1100 as in the sample). Many thanks for your advice.

pipal, on what timeframe are you working with this setup? Please try adding a drawing to your conditions so you have a visual check for them triggering / evaluating to true.

Thanks Bertrand. I tried to work it on 1 min chart, and no trade is ever triggered in different months of data.

I have some other setups that work well in backtesting, and want to add HiLo as one of the conditions.

Pipal, in general what Austin suggested coding wise should work well - for your entry condition then, please try for example without the time filter just entering as Close cross the found High, perhaps the time filter is too restrictive?

luxurious_04, you could custom code an indicator for example changing the backcolors of the chart panels if your Time condition is true -
