Get low and high of over night Session (before CBOE US Index Futures RTH) of each day

[pechtri]

Hi,

I tried to use CurrentDayOhl to get high and low of today and i want to stop updating when the session if CBOE US Index Futures RTH starts ,
also i think that's not a good idea to use CurrentDayOhl, do you have any suggestion on haw to get today's High and low for sessions before CBOE US Index Futures RTH of each day loaded in the chart, so i can draw zones for each day?

Thank you in advance,

Hello pechtri,

Thanks for your post.

The CurrentDayOHL indicator that comes default with NinjaTrader will return the current day (session) Open, High, or Low price for the current session.

CurrentDayOHL(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt_day_ohl.htm

If you would like to get the CurrentDayOHL values for a different trading hour template, you could add an additional secondary series to the script using the AddDataSeries() method and specify the tradingHoursName you want to use within the AddDataSeries() method.

AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, string tradingHoursName)
AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, string tradingHoursName, bool? isResetOnNewTradingDay)

Then, you could instantiate the CurrentDayOHL indicator using the BarsArray of the added series, such as BarsArray[1], and then access the current Open, High, or Low price of that indicator calculating from the added series.

If you want to get the CurrentDayOHL values at a certain time of day, you could create a Time Comparison condition that checks if the current time is equal to a specific time of day and then access the CurrentDayOHL values at that time of day.
