Current day condition

[manraygun]

Hi,
I'd like to have my rays drawn on the current day only. As it stands, I get rays drawn at the inputed times on both the current day and prior days. I suspect I need to add a date series condition of some sort.
Thanks.

Hello manraygun,

Thank you for your post.

The key to drawing one ray rather than multiple is the "Tag" field. If you use the same tag each time it is drawn, the same object is modified. If you use a unique tag, such as in your screenshot that puts CurrentBars[0] + Ray_1, then a new object is created each time. Please modify your tag to only be "Ray_1" without the CurrentBar value and this should result in only one ray being drawn and modified each time. For more information on the different parameters for drawing rays:

Thanks for the reply, Emily.
My goal is to keep all rays drawn on the current day within the inputed times. (I believe that means the tag is necessary.)
What I am trying to eliminate from my chart are rays drawn on the prior day(s) within the inputed times.
On the attached chart, the inputed time is 5:30 am to 6:30 am.
The rays I want to keep were drawn on the current day.
The rays drawn yesterday 5:30 am to 6:30 are the ones I'm trying to eliminate.

Thank you for the clarification.

What I suggest is to create a new set of Conditions and Actions that checks if it is 5:29am, and if so the action is to remove all draw objects. This is likely the most simple option in the Strategy Builder if the rays are the only draw objects you are working with. Here is a screenshot example:

• https://www.screencast.com/t/5cDra3RG

Otherwise, you could use Action > Drawing > Remove draw object to remove individual objects based on their tag values, but you would need a way to save all of the tags for each object drawn on the previous day. This could be done with a custom String series created on the Additional Data screen but could get complex in the Strategy Builder due to limitations of its capabilities, and would ultimately be easier to do in an unlocked script edited in the NinjaScript Editor.

Thank you!

I got it to work by unlocking and adding this code suggest by Google Gemini to what I had. Thanks again.
