Custom time line (Vertical Lines) In ThinkOrSwim

[vikram]

Anyone know if there is such a custom time line indicator ?

I am looking for lines to highlight some key times like Premarket, 1st one hour of market, 1PM EST etc.,

I am looking for vertical lines on the following time.

All times in EST

4:20 AM
7:00 AM
8:00 AM
10:00 AM
1:00 PM

Forgot to mention, I need the lines just for current day

def DrawLine =
    getDay() == getLastDay() and
    (
        !secondsFromTime(0420) or
        !secondsFromTime(0700) or
        !secondsFromTime(0800) or
        !secondsFromTime(1000) or
        !secondsFromTime(1300)
    )
;
AddVerticalLine(DrawLine);

How can I draw vertical lines for specific dates that propagate back and forward? For instance, I want to plot vertical lines for anytime the dates are March 21, June 21, Sept 23, and Dec 21m for all years back and forward?

 

[Joshua]

def Date = getyYYYMMDD();
def DrawLine =
    (GetMonth() == 3 and getdayofMonth(date) == 21) or
    (GetMonth() == 6 and getdayofMonth(date) == 21) or
    (GetMonth() == 9 and getdayofMonth(date) == 23) or
    (GetMonth() == 12 and getdayofMonth(date) == 21)
;
AddVerticalLine(DrawLine);

        !secondsFromTime(0420) or
        !secondsFromTime(0700) or
        !secondsFromTime(0800) or
        !secondsFromTime(1000) or
        !secondsFromTime(1300)
    )
;
AddVerticalLine(DrawLine);

@Joshua How can I change vertical line color from red to white?

 

[Joshua]

AddVerticalLine (DrawLine, "", Color.White);

Hey Joshua,
Is there a way to add vertical lines just for the start of the week?
I'd like to separate my time frames based on the start/end of each week but not sure how i can adjust the code for that

def DoW = getDayOfWeek(GetyYYYMMDD());
addverticalLine(Dow < Dow[1],"New Week");

def DoW = getDayOfWeek(GetyYYYMMDD());
addverticalLine(Dow < Dow[1],"New Week");

Hi Joshua, is there a way to plot vertical line for EACH day at 9:30 and 16:00

 

[Joshua]

def DrawLine = !secondsFromTime(0930) or !secondsFromTime(1600);
AddVerticalLine(DrawLine);

Do any of you have ideas for plotting economic events using lines like these?

The ToS data feeds do not have economic events data.
The ToS platform does not provide for the uploading of that information.

Hey. Is it possible to draw a horizontal dashed line at the opening price of each interval.

 

[smccown]

def DrawLine =
    getDay() == getLastDay() and
    (
        !secondsFromTime(0420) or
        !secondsFromTime(0700) or
        !secondsFromTime(0800) or
        !secondsFromTime(1000) or
        !secondsFromTime(1300)
    )
;
AddVerticalLine(DrawLine);

This would be awesome, but unfortunately it's not working for me? ;(

 

[Joshua]

It needs to be a time based chart with candles that land on those times.

Which chart style and delineation/aggregation are you using?

Yeah but this question is quite old, let me know if you're still active on the forum before I go writing code for a ghost.

I've been looking for something to mark the days time with vertical lines and this is the closest I've come to it. I thought solid thin vertical lines on the hour and the smallest dash on the half hour in white and 50% opacity for the 9:30 - 4 day would be helpful. How possible would that be?

[Edit: I made a correction in def bar that should now work]
This plots verticallines on the hour and half-hour times and a cloud for the tradingzones hours.

#TradingZones_Verticals_Clouds
input showverticalline = yes;
input showcloud        = yes;
input begintime        = 0930;
input endtime          = 1600;
def bar         = if SecondsTillTime(begintime) == 0 and
                     SecondsFromTime(begintime) == 0
                  then 0
                  else bar[1] + 1;
def tradingzone = SecondsFromTime(begintime) >= 0  and SecondsFromTime(endtime) <= 0;

AddVerticalLine(if showverticalline and tradingzone
                then bar % ((30) / (GetAggregationPeriod() / 60000)) == 0                  else Double.NaN,
                color = Color.WHITE, stroke = Curve.FIRM);

AddVerticalLine(if showverticalline and tradingzone
                then bar % ((60) / (GetAggregationPeriod() / 60000)) == 0
                else Double.NaN,
                color = Color.WHITE, stroke = Curve.POINTS);

AddCloud(if !showcloud or !tradingzone then Double.NaN else high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY), low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY), color1 = Color.WHITE, color2 = Color.WHITE);

The code in the above post is now corrrect.
When I was optimizing the def bar, I made inputs for the times that I had of 0930. I used endtime (1600) for part of the definition, when both should have been begintime (0930).

I cannot find that code in the thread. I did get to use the code and not sure if I have the updated one.
