Line at Open of Month

[ChrisR]

Good Day Everyone,
Im trying to create a line at the session open of the first day of the month and extend the line to the last day of the month, but having some trouble here. The below code only works if the prior bar was a different month. If a new month starts mid week, its thrown off because prior bar wasnt a different month since the line starts at session open. What would be the best route to take to correct that? Any advice is welcome.

if (Time[1].Month != Time[0].Month)
{
     sTime = Time[0].Date.AddHours(18).AddMinutes(BarVal);
     eTime = Time[0].Date.AddDays(DateTime.DaysInMonth(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month)).AddHours(17);

     if (Time[0] == sTime)
     {
          sPrice = Open[0];
     }
}​

Im not asking for anyone to fix or create code, simply asking what would be the best route to take to do what I want to do. Perhaps a member will be able to asist. That repeater indicator linked Im not sure is relevant to what I'm looking to do.

So I have reworked the above code a bit and have the start and end times for the line correct. I'm flipping a bool to true when the month changes and capturing the next session open time, which is the months open time. For end time, Im just adding days remaining in month minus current day number to the start time. Than flipping bool to false. This is working fine.

The issue I am running into is its using prior months open price for historical bars while in real-time its returning current months open, verified with Print statements. When the monthly open line is drawn, its referencing the prior months open price, not current (forming) months open.

Any advice from the forum is welcome.

        DateTime sTime, eTime;
        private double sPrice;
        private bool mSwitch = false;​

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
     AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Month, 1);
}​

if (CurrentBar >= 2 && Time[1].Month != Time[0].Month)
     mSwitch = true;

if (mSwitch && Time[0] == Time[0].Date.AddHours(18).AddMinutes(BarVal))
     {
          sTime = Time[0].Date.AddHours(18).AddMinutes(BarVal);
          eTime = sTime.AddDays(DateTime.DaysInMonth(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month)-Time[0].Day).AddHours(-1).AddMinutes(-BarVal);
          mSwitch = false;
     }

 if (CurrentBars[0] < 1 || CurrentBars[1] < 1)
      return;    

sPrice = Opens[1][0];​
