Defining Start & End Times In ThinkOrSwim

[SleepyZ]

The following defines start and end to use with your code.

#input Start = 0930;#define the start of tradingsession, suggest no change
#input end = 1600;#define the end of tradingsession, suggest no change


input space = 6.25;
input startprice = 300;
def start = regularTradingStart(getyyyYMMDD());
def end   = regularTradingEnd(getyyYYMMDD());
def condition1 = gettime() > Start;
def condition2 = Gettime() < end;
def hh = if Gettime() crosses above Start then startprice
 else if condition1 and condition2 then hh[1] else if Gettime() > end then Double.NaN
else hh[1];

# the logic is plotting price lines only between 0930 and 1600
plot line0 = if Gettime() < Start then Double.NaN else hh;
line0.SetPaintingStrategy(12);

plot line1 = line0 + space;
plot line2 = line1 + space;
plot line3 = line2 + space;

If you wanted to use your inputs for starrt and end as is, then you would use the secondsfromtime() and/or secondstilltime() functions in conjunction with them.

input Start = 0930;#define the start of tradingsession, suggest no change
input end = 1600;#define the end of tradingsession, suggest no change
input space = 6.25;
input startprice = 190;

def condition1 = secondsFromTime(Start) > 0;
def condition2 = secondsFromTime(end)<0;
def hh = if secondsFromTime(Start)==0 then startprice else if condition1 and condition2 then hh[1] else if secondsfromTime(end)>0 then Double.NaN
else hh[1];
# the logic is plotting price lines only between 0930 and 1600
plot line0 = if secondsfromTime(start)<0 then Double.NaN else hh;
line0.SetPaintingStrategy(12);

plot line1 = line0 + space;
plot line2 = line1 + space;
plot line3 = line2 + space;
