code help: range box

[ulle73]

Hi

could someone help me code a similiar indicator to this:

Picture is showing:
GREEN BOX -range from 00:01- 9:00 AM (london opening)
GRAY BOX - range from 00:01-15:30 (US market opening)

Would also love to have the ADR indicator at top, showing todays range, price moved 96% out of its average 5 day range

Im from sweden, thats why i want those time-intervals, MT4 is 1h behind, thats why picture is laging by 1h.

Using this to trade DJ with a 50p TP and 100p SL, when price breaks range box by 2p, go long above and short below, using fixed SL and TP, been trading it manually for quite some time, also im having an algo through PRT showing same results. But now moved to TOS

this allows the user to pick a time range and display the high and low.

why does the indicator paint the rangebox all wrong? The green box should look like the red box i drawed.

See if this helps.

As I am unsure of what times you want based upon TOS using eastern timezone times vs those you posted above. I used a time setup that rolled over midnight to verify that the script works.

Also, since TOS does not have a function to plot the highs/lows, the volumeprofile study was modified to use its' profile highs/lows for them.

input afterbegin = 2300;
input afterend   = 0930;
def sec1    = SecondsFromTime(afterbegin);
def sec2    = SecondsFromTime(afterend);
def isTime1 = (sec1 >= 0 and sec1[1] <= 0) or (sec1 < sec1[1] and sec1 >= 0);
def isTime2 = (sec2 > 0 and sec2[1] <= 0) or (sec2 < sec2[1] and sec2 > 0);
def aftermarket = CompoundValue(1, if isTime1 then 1 else if isTime2 then 0 else aftermarket[1], 0);

def bars   = 2000;

input pricePerRowHeightMode = { AUTOMATIC, default TICKSIZE, CUSTOM};
input customRowHeight = 1.0;
input timePerProfile = {default BAR};
input onExpansion = no;
input profiles = 1000;

def period;

switch (timePerProfile) {
case BAR:
    period = BarNumber() - 1;
}


def count = CompoundValue(1, if aftermarket and period != period[1] then (count[1] + period - period[1]) % bars else count[1], 0);
def cond = count < count[1] + period - period[1];
def height;
switch (pricePerRowHeightMode) {
case AUTOMATIC:
    height = PricePerRow.AUTOMATIC;
case TICKSIZE:
    height = PricePerRow.TICKSIZE;
case CUSTOM:
    height = customRowHeight;
}

profile vol = VolumeProfile("startNewProfile" = cond, "onExpansion" = no, "numberOfProfiles" = 1000, "pricePerRow" = height, "value area percent" = 0);
def con = CompoundValue(1, onExpansion, no);

def hProfile = if aftermarket and IsNaN(vol.GetHighest()) and con then hProfile[1] else vol.GetHighest();
def lProfile = if aftermarket and IsNaN(vol.GetLowest()) and con then lProfile[1] else vol.GetLowest();
def plotsDomain = IsNaN(close) == onExpansion;
def ProfileHigh = if aftermarket and plotsDomain then hProfile else Double.NaN;
def ProfileLow  = if aftermarket and plotsDomain then lProfile else Double.NaN;

plot hrange = ProfileHigh;
plot lrange = ProfileLow;
hrange.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
lrange.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
hrange.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
lrange.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
hrange.SetLineWeight(2);
lrange.SetLineWeight(2);


input bubblemover = 0;
def b  = bubblemover;
def b1 = b + 1;


input showbubbles = yes;
AddChartBubble(showbubbles and (IsNaN(hrange[b1]) and hrange[b])  , hrange, AsText(hrange), Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
AddChartBubble(showbubbles and (IsNaN(hrange[b1]) and hrange[b]) , lrange, AsText(lrange), Color.LIGHT_green, up = no);

input showverticalline = yes;
AddVerticalLine(showverticalline and hrange != hrange[1], "", Color.BLUE, stroke = Curve.FIRM);

input showclouds = yes;
AddCloud(if showclouds then hrange else Double.NaN, lrange, Color.GREEN, Color.GREEN);

it works just fine.
i forgot to mention that you need to pick ' choose ' , if you want to enter custom times

input market = { default "U.S." , "EU" , "H.K." , "choose"};
