Current Day OHL for Certain Trading Hours

[rezamerik]

Good day everyone,

Is there an indicator that shows the OHL of the day for a specific time period (e.g. from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST), without changing the default trading hours on my chart? I'm using the built-in "Current Day OHL" indicator, but obviously it plots the OHL based on the trading hours I have on my chart i.e. CME U.S. Index Futures. I need something that plots the OHL of the day based upon U.S. Equities hours, without changing my trading hours.

Thanks!

Hello rezamerik,

Thank you for your post.

While it would be possible to create an indicator that plots the Current Day OHL indicator based on an added data series with the desired trading hours template, another option is to add the Current Day OHL indicator on a "hidden" data series by following the steps in this video:

If you prefer to develop an indicator as you've described rather than plotting on a hidden data series, please let me know and I would be glad to provide a sample script that you could review and expand upon to meet your needs.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
