Price @ Time

[Randwulf]

How does one capture the current price intrabar at a particular time of day ?
Price may not be at the high or low of the current bar...

Thx in advance..

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

Please see this sample on how to this and let me know if you have any questions.

Or use this as a time filter and then set a variable during the time filter:

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thx 4 the reply Brett...

I understand enough about using time and accessing previous bars but,
If I locate a previous bar based on a particular time, I know that I can access
it's High, Low, Open or Close but how do you determine where the price was inside
the bar at that particular time ? It could be anywhere from it's High to Low...

Hello,

The only way to do this is to use multi series programming to pring in a smaller time frame to be able to look intra bar. This is known as adding granularity.

Thx again Brett for the reply...

I had considered the micro timeframe (finer granularity) but, was hoping that I was missing something obvious.
