program a recurring price line AT the open

[podowitz]

I would like to have a line appear at the open every day that shows the halfway mark between the high and the low of the overnight session. How do I do this, please?

Hello podowitz,
Thanks for writing in.

This would be possible a few different ways.

One thing you could do is add a bar series to the script of the instrument with the desired Trading Hours Template but you would need to hard code the instrument name and would not be able to dynamically apply the Trading Hours Template to any instrument without it being hard coded in the indicator.

Another alternative is to use a time filter and assign the night session opening price to a variable, the closing price to a variable, and then calculate the highest high through the time range and the lowest low through the time range.

Even another alternative would be if you created a session template for the overnight and then applied something similar to the attached script. Currently this script would draw a midway line of the current session high and low. Feel free to modify as you like.
