extended hrs/pre&post markets - background color

[royalrock]

Grey background for extended hours is really distracting...is there any way that we can have a different color for pre/post market hours since I want to keep black background for market hours.

I can make full black for both but i dont want to.

Thanks

This will allow you to choose the colors you want at the input screen.

#BackgroundColor_Post_Premarket

input postbegin = 1600;
input postend   = 0401;

def sec1    = SecondsFromTime(postbegin);
def sec2    = SecondsFromTime(postend);
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 inRange = CompoundValue(1, if isTime1 then 1 else if isTime2 then 0 else inRange[1], 0);
def postmarket = inRange;

input prebegin = 0400;
input preend   = 0930;
def premarket  = SecondsFromTime(400) >= 0 and SecondsFromTime(0930) < 0;

DefineGlobalColor("PRE", Color.BLUE);
DefineGlobalColor("POST", Color.MAGENTA);
AddCloud(if premarket then Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY else Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, GlobalColor("PRE"), GlobalColor("PRE"));
AddCloud(if postmarket then Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY else Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, GlobalColor("POST"), GlobalColor("POST"));

Thanks a lot..this is good.

Actually I was looking to have 100% black for market hours(I have now) and then 30% transparency for pre/post markets so that all the indicators would be under one color for proper view.

Looks like that does not seem to be possible , but your script helps to have every other color other than 100% black color for pre/post markets.

Thanks again.

This is closer to your last request. It uses black as the background color which is muted by the default gray in the pre/post market times.

def sec1    = SecondsFromTime(postbegin);

def premarket  = SecondsFromTime(400) >= 0 and SecondsFromTime(0930) < 0;

DefineGlobalColor("PRE", Color.black);
DefineGlobalColor("POST", Color.black);
AddCloud(if premarket then Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY else Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, GlobalColor("PRE"), GlobalColor("PRE"));
AddCloud(if postmarket then Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY else Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, GlobalColor("POST"), GlobalColor("POST"));

This is much better...Thanks a ton.
