Previous Close Extended Line

[rcmcd]

I would like to extend the close line on the PriorDayOHLC indicator until crossed by price... same as the extended naked levels in the volume profile indicator. How's the best way to proceed?

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (!Bars.BarsType.IsIntraday)
return;

// If the current data is not the same date as the current bar then its a new session
if (currentDate != sessionIterator.GetTradingDay(Time[0]) || currentOpen == 0)
{
// The current day OHLC values are now the prior days value so set
// them to their respect indicator series for plotting
priorDayClose = currentClose;
if (ShowClose) PriorClose[0] = priorDayClose;

// Initilize the current day settings to the new days data
currentClose = Close[0];

currentDate = sessionIterator.GetTradingDay(Time[0]);
}
else // The current day is the same day
{
// Set the current day OHLC values

currentClose = Close[0];

if (ShowClose) PriorClose[0] = priorDayClose;
}
}

Hello rcmcd,

You could choose to draw a line from the last bar of that session to the current bar at the price of the close.

If you are wanting to modify the logic in the script, the condition set with sessionIterator.GetTradingDay() is when things are being reset. You could choose to not reset things.

// If the current data is not the same date as the current bar then its a new session
if (currentDate != sessionIterator.GetTradingDay(Time[0]) || currentOpen == 0)

How do I choose to not reset things?

Hello rcmcd,

You can replace that if statement and replace this with your custom logic on when you want to reset.
You can also duplicate the plots if you want the originals to remain, and choose to reset the duplicate plots at later times or not at all.

This exceeds my limited ability. Can you reference an existing indicator I can review the code?

The help guide has an example of drawing a line.

I'm not aware of any scripts that have this specific custom logic.
