CurrentDayOHL plotting wrong open.

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello AdeptistJune,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry but I am still confused about what you have done.

If everything is in one indicator why then would you do this: MyRTHOHL1 = MyRTHOHL(Close, DateTime.Parse("8:31 AM"), DateTime.Parse("5:00 PM")); ? You cannot add an indicator to itself.

Hello,

I added 4 more double-type variables to hold each of the prior day values in the existing indicator. On the last bar of the RTH session, I stored the currentday low, just as a test, and printed an output. So what would cause the plot value to be: 0

if (Time[0].TimeOfDay >= RTHStart.TimeOfDay && Time[0].TimeOfDay < RTHEnd.TimeOfDay)
{
RTHOpen = myRTHOpen;
//Print (Time[0] + "RTHOpen:" + RTHOpen);

if (High[0] > myRTHHigh)
{
myRTHHigh = High[0];
}

if (Low[0] < myRTHLow)
{
myRTHLow = Low[0];
}

RTHHigh = myRTHHigh;
RTHLow = myRTHLow;
Print (Time[0] + "RTHHigh:" + RTHHigh + "|" + "RTHLow:" + RTHLow );
}
if (Time[0].TimeOfDay == new TimeSpan(16,59, 00))
{
myPREVLOW = RTHLow;
}
Print (Time[0] + "myPREVLOW:" + myPREVLOW);
}

Hello AdeptistJune,

Thanks for your reply.

Try changing the time filter from: if (Time[0].TimeOfDay >= RTHStart.TimeOfDay && Time[0].TimeOfDay < RTHEnd.TimeOfDay)

To : if (Time[0].TimeOfDay >= RTHStart.TimeOfDay && Time[0].TimeOfDay <= RTHEnd.TimeOfDay)

Hello, Paul

I changed to: if (Time[0].TimeOfDay >= RTHStart.TimeOfDay && Time[0].TimeOfDay <= RTHEnd.TimeOfDay)

But the results are still the same.

Hello AdeptistJune,

Thanks for your reply.

The print statements look like this:

12/30/2021 3:58:00 PMRTHHigh:4799.75|RTHLow:4767.25
12/30/2021 3:58:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0
12/30/2021 3:59:00 PMRTHHigh:4799.75|RTHLow:4767.25
12/30/2021 3:59:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0
12/30/2021 4:00:00 PMRTHHigh:4799.75|RTHLow:4767.25
12/30/2021 4:00:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0
12/30/2021 5:01:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0
12/30/2021 5:02:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0
12/30/2021 5:03:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0
12/30/2021 5:04:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0
12/30/2021 5:05:00 PMmyPREVLOW:0

See how your RTH prints stop at 4:00 PM (16:00)

I suspect you have a mismatch between the RTHEnd actual time and the specific time of 16:59. Please check that you have RTHEND set to 5:00 PM.

Actually, you should be able to use RTHEnd instead of the 16:59.

So please try: if (Time[0].TimeOfDay == RTHEnd.TimeOfDay)

Hello, Paul,

I did as instructed, but there was no change in the prints.

Hello, Paul,

Two things I learned from the print statement. 1.) The reason my previous plot value is "0" has something to do with the check condition "if (Time[0].TimeOfDay == RTHEnd.TimeOfDay)"

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
return;

if (Time[0].TimeOfDay == RTHStart.TimeOfDay)
{
myRTHOpen = Open[0];
myRTHHigh = High[0];
myRTHLow = Low[0];
}

if (Time[0].TimeOfDay >= RTHStart.TimeOfDay && Time[0].TimeOfDay < RTHEnd.TimeOfDay)
{
RTHOpen[0] = myRTHOpen;

if (High[0] > myRTHHigh)
{
myRTHHigh = High[0];
}

if (Low[0] < myRTHLow)
{
myRTHLow = Low[0];
}

RTHHigh[0] = myRTHHigh;
RTHLow[0] = myRTHLow;
}
else
{
RTHOpen[0] = RTHOpen[1];
RTHHigh[0] = RTHHigh[1];
RTHLow[0] = RTHLow[1];
}
Print(Time[0] + "RTHOpen[0]:" + RTHOpen[0] + "|" + "RTHHigh[0]:" + RTHHigh[0] + "|" + "RTHLow[0]:" + RTHLow[0]);
}

Hello, Paul,

I figured out why the previous plot values were plotting: 0.

The trading session close is at 1600 not 1700. So when I was doing the time check: if (Time[0].TimeOfDay == RTHStart.TimeOfDay) instead of if (Time[0].TimeOfDay == new TimeSpan(16,00, 00)), I guess it was calling data that did not exist.
