After Hours highs and low label

[rudy seena]

Hi all, as always thanks for the great work you guys are doing. I am learning a ton. My question is how do I add a label for only "AFTER HOURS" highs and lows (NOT Premarket) . I checked your extensive library but could not find any posts related to my specific question. Would love your help on this. Thanks, Rudy

OK. Price in a ime range...

declare upper;

def endRTH = 1600;

def midnight = 2359;

def aftermarket = if secondsFromTime(endRTH) > 0 AND secondsTillTime(midnight) > 0 then 1 else 0;

def yesterday = if GetLastDay() == GetDay() then 1 else 0;

rec post_market_high = if aftermarket == 1 and yesterday == 1 and HIGH > post_market_high[1] then HIGH else post_market_high[1];

addLabel(yes, "After-Market High: " + post_market_high, color.orange);

This may, or may not run exactly as you expect. I still, after spending years with ThinkScript, have a hard time wrapping my head around how to deal with weekends.

Happy Trading,

Hi Mashume, thanks for the code. I really appreciate your valuable time to share. Unfortunately, it gives me a value of zero & only After-Market High:0, not After-Market Low, also. I used TOS OnDemand to backtest on a Saturday, so not sure if I have to wait for regular market hours for it to work? Thoughts? Rudy

@rudy seena Maybe it is an on-demand issue. It works fine on the regular platform.
And yes, this is only a High label. But now that you have the logic, you can add & modify the code to meet your needs.

Thanks. I called TOS and it was an OnDemand issue. Also, I was able to modify your code for the AH Low. Thanks again. You guys are awesome! Rudy

Hi all, sorry for the delay. Below is the code for the After Hours highs and lows. Unfortunately, when I ran this morning at 9.22am, before mkt opens, it still does not give me the correct data. Instead it prints: AHH: 0, AHL: 0.

I did speak to TOS but they were unable to help me and said it was a coding issues. Can you guys help? Thanks, Rudy

def endRTH = 1600;

def midnight = 2359;

def aftermarket = if secondsFromTime(endRTH) > 0 AND secondsTillTime(midnight) > 0 then 1 else 0;

def yesterday = if GetLastDay() == GetDay() then 1 else 0;

rec post_market_high = if aftermarket == 1 and yesterday == 1 and HIGH > post_market_high[1] then HIGH else post_market_high[1];

addLabel(yes, "AHH: " + post_market_high, color.orange);

rec post_market_low = if aftermarket == 1 and yesterday == 1 and LOW > post_market_low[1] then low else post_market_low[1];

addLabel(yes, "AHL: " + post_market_Low, color.orange);

Interesting. How are you using this information to help make a trade?

I use pre-mkt data to see strength or weakness at daily support or resistance areas. For example, if pre-mkt highs are > than After Hours and prior day highs - at the open, I wait for a pullback to prior day highs and enter. Currently, I have to physically locate After Hours highs and lows. A label would save much valuable time.

interesting Idea. Why the after hours high and low? why not from close to open after hours high and low? What is it that you think is happening during that time? On tesla yesterday i noticed a huge spike down from 821 to 816 witch just seems very manipulated/fishy

Previous Prior day, Prior day, After Hours, Pre market highs & lows are support & resistance price levels (R1, R2, R3, R4, etc) I use for game planning what if scenarios for the trading day. For example, if SPY is weak, but stock opens strong & jacks to Previous Prior day Highs, I will short it.
