extended hours data when the extended hours setting is not on.

[pfriedl]

Hey all, hopefully I can get some help with this. I'm using the script below on multiple small timeframe charts (1, 2, 5 minute). Right now it's able to get the 4am open, but only if the chart is set to show extended trading data is enabled.

I need to be able to plot these values, even if the extended session data is disabled: 4am premarket open, premarket high and low (after 4am). I'm at a loss as to how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

def newDay = GetDay() <> GetDay()[1];
def start = newDay or SecondsTillTime(400) == 0;
rec premarketOpen = if start then open else premarketOpen[1];
plot po = premarketOpen;

Hi Everyone,

Do anyone know or can write a script which plot premarket high and low with an extended hour off ?

Hey everyone! I'm wanting to have a TOS chart visually show the premarket price for my gap scans without having to have extended hours turned on or reading the top bar of my charts and using my mouse to hover to that price and see where it's at. It would make judging whether the gaps are worth keeping on my watchlist or not extraordinarily easier, but I've been struggling to find anyone with a similar chart, other than premarket high/low indicators.

I found this nice Mobius script that shows current price as a chart line and bubble, but it's only accurate for premarket price when extended hours are turned on.

# Line At Price
# Mobius
# Alternative to using the HighestAll() function

input barsBack = 1000;
input minimumGapPct = .05;

def c = if !IsNaN(close) and IsNaN(close[-1
        then close
        else c[1];
plot line = if isNaN(close[-barsBack])
            then c[-barsBack]
            else Double.NaN;

def gapDown = high < low[1] - low[1]*minimumGapPct;

def gapUp = low > high[1] - high[1]*minimumGapPct;

AddChartBubble(c,close,c,color.yellow);

I've read elsewhere that you can't access the premarket data without it on, but at the same time, default charts show the current bid/ask in the top of the chart regardless of this setting.

If that's true, perhaps an indicator similar to this one that shows current bid/ask could also work for what I'm needing -- maybe that data IS accessible? Another idea with that limitation is having extended hours turned on, but then forcefully hiding the extended hours area on the charts (not sure if that's possible), just so the scripts can access the premarket data. Anyone try to make something similar or can point me in the right direction with thinkscript functions?

Thanks!

You can't show extended hours data when the extended hours setting is not on.
