Indicator to show previous day High Low and Close on the current day chart

Rich (BB code): 
input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input length = 1;
input displace = -1;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;
plot PrevDayHigh;
plot PrevDayLow;
plot PrevDayClose;

if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1])
{
    PrevDayHigh = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayLow = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayClose = Double.NaN;
}
else
{
    PrevDayHigh = Highest(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    PrevDayLow = Highest(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    PrevDayClose = Highest(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
}
PrevDayHigh.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0,255,255));
PrevDayHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayLow.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0,255,255));
PrevDayLow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayClose.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(116,189,239));
PrevDayClose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);
PrevDayClose.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH)

makes sense for lower timeframes than 1D.

Ruby: 
def ap = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

def dH = High(period = ap);
def dL = Low(period = ap);

plot DayHigh = dH;
plot DayLow =dL;

DayHigh.SetDefaultColor(Color.PINK);
DayLow.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);

Here we go, horizontal line at HOD, use this on an intraday chart

Code: 
plot highLine = highestAll(if isNaN(close[-1])
                            then high(period = "Day")
                            else Double.NaN);

Hi Tomsk,
I have always liked highs and lows for both the day and the week. Would it be possible to terminate the lines at the beginning and end of the day and week. I am basically a S/R visual trader and I like to look at extended periods of days and weeks to see how whatever stock or future respects these natural S/R areas. I was surprised that the code was as simple as it was. BTW, I just changed your code to add a Lowline and changed the day to week. I am really pleased I found this.

Try this
Capture.jpg
Ruby: 
plot day_high = high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
plot day_low  = low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
day_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
day_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot week_high = high(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK);
plot week_low  = low(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK);
week_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
week_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

Hello again,
Would it be possible to NOT extend left when new H/L has been hit. Being the visual trader that I am, I find I have too much to take in. Here is what I have.

plot Day_high = high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
plot Day_low = low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
day_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
day_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot Week_high = high(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK);
plot Week_low = low(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK);
week_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
week_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot Month_high = high(period = AggregationPeriod.month);
plot Month_low = low(period = AggregationPeriod.month);
Month_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Month_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot Quarter_high = high(period = AggregationPeriod.Quarter);
plot Quarter_low = low(period = AggregationPeriod.Quarter);
Quarter_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Quarter_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

Added showlastonly input. In the picture, since we are at the beginning of November that began on a Monday, the month and week overlap, making a little difficult to test the code.

So now, I have an indicator that shows the H/L for day,week,month and quarter.
I am a visual trader and like to see how each period...In my mind, it frames price for me.
The problem with the indicator, is: when it shows a high, it does not show just from the high made, it shows the entire period.

For instance, if a high is made on a Wednesday on a weekly, the line will extend from Monday until Friday when I want to see just from Wednesday to the end of the week. This also applies to day, month, and quarter.
Anyway, here is what I have.

input showlastonly = yes;
plot Day_high = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[-1]) then Double.NaN else high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
plot Day_low = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[-1]) then Double.NaN else low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
Day_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Day_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot Week_high = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(high(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK)[-1]) then Double.NaN else high(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK);
plot Week_low = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(low(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK)[-1]) then Double.NaN else low(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK);
Week_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Week_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot Month_high = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(high(period = AggregationPeriod.MONTH)[-1]) then Double.NaN else high(period = AggregationPeriod.MONTH);
plot Month_low = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(low(period = AggregationPeriod.MONTH)[-1]) then Double.NaN else low(period = AggregationPeriod.MONTH);
Month_high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Month_low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot Quarter_high = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(high(period = AggregationPeriod.QUARTER)[-1]) then Double.NaN else high(period = AggregationPeriod.QUARTER);
plot Quarter_low = if showlastonly and !IsNaN(low(period = AggregationPeriod.QUARTER)[-1]) then Double.NaN else low(period = AggregationPeriod.QUARTER);

Hello SleepyZ,

This is awesome which helps me to visualize the chart more efficiently. Also, I have a couple of requests to add to the existing code.

1. Can you update the display to show the lines for the aggregation period? Say Weekly, monthly or quarterly. If I switch the chart to weekly or monthly, it doesn't display the lines.
2. I need another line that displays the 50% for the day, week, month, and quarter.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks
Jay

Jay,
1. If a script contains aggregation periods lower than the chart aggregation, then nothing will be displayed. Below are separate scripts to be saved. Each will display on the charts with the aggregations shown for each script.
2. Added to all the scripts below.

Dr. Wish Green Line Breakout Indicator for ThinkOrSwim
the highest price reached at any month, that has not been surpassed for at least 3 months.

I was looking for help to develop a scan and possibly show up a line on the charts (daily timeframe preferably) for a simple trading methodology given in the below post:
https://wishingwealthblog.com/2018/05/green-line-breakout-glb-explained-gmi-remains-green/

Strategy:
I begin by looking at a monthly chart for each stock that hit a new all time high recently and draw a green horizontal line at the highest price reached at any month, that has not been surpassed for at least 3 months. In other words, I want a stock that reached an all-time high and has then rested for at least three months. When a stock moves through the green line or is above its last green line I become interested. I only buy stocks that are trading above their last green line tops. Stocks that form a multi-month (or multi-year) base at an all time high, especially recent IPOs, often go on to large gains after they break out. (The great Jesse Livermore made a similar observation.)

This simple yet powerful strategy can be used by investors who have a full time job and can't spend whole day in front of the trading screen.

Appreciate if someone can help with a scan and a line plot on the chart.

thanks in advance!

Hello my coder friends,

I have a small request. The Day High Low indicator in ToS is a very good tool for quickly finding highs and lows of candles on different time frames. I would like to have a version of this script that puts a horizontal line at the top and bottom of the candle, AND, also at the 50% level of that same candle. I would also like for these horizontal lines to just extend to the right side of the screen, and eliminate the future levels that begin to form with the current candle. I'm only interested in the previous candle levels. Or make it optional so I can deselect it.

I tried doing this with Fibs but I have draw them in every chart and the extra manual work just ****s.

Any help on this would be great.

Thank you!
Charlie

Happy holidays to all, looking for some assistance in calculating and plotting the high/low for a custom time range. I have the following code configured to draw vertical lines for a specified start and end time:

Ruby: 
input startingHour = 0930;
def endingHour = startingHour - 15;

def RB = secondsFromTime(startingHour)[1] < 0 && secondsFromTime(startingHour) >= 0;
def RE = secondsFromTime(endingHour)[1] < 0 && secondsFromTime(endingHour) >= 0;

AddVerticalLine(RB, concat("Start: ", startingHour), Color.Green, curve.POINTS);
AddVerticalLine(RE, concat("End: ", endingHour), Color.Red, curve.POINTS);

I'd like to be able to find the high/low for each session and plot those horizontal lines on the following session:

Hope that makes sense, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

@SleepyZ - Yes, that is perfect, thanks!

After I posted I realized that the way I had it coded originally set the end time before the start time (duh), but once properly configured with an intraday range it functions as expected. I'm working on a version that can span more than one day, I'll post it here when (if) I figure it out. :unsure:

Thanks again!

Hello,

How do you create a script that would draw a horizontal line at the High and Low of the first previous candle only?

For example like this image:

Below is a modication of a script that posted elsewhere. You can input offset to lookback to whatever candle high/low/close you want that will display on the last bar of your chart horizontal lines and chart bubbles, as well as, a label at the top of the chart.

Ruby: 
input offset  = 1;

def lasthigh  = if IsNaN(close[-1]) and !IsNaN(close) then high[offset] else lasthigh[1];
def lastclose = if IsNaN(close[-1]) and !IsNaN(close) then close[offset] else lastclose[1];
def lastlow   = if IsNaN(close[-1]) and !IsNaN(close) then low[offset]  else lastlow[1];

input showlines = yes;
plot lhigh   = if !showlines then double.nan else lasthigh;
plot lclose  = if !showlines then double.nan else  lastclose;
plot llow    = if !showlines then double.nan else  lastlow;
lhigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
lclose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
llow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

lhigh.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
lclose.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
llow.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);

input showlabels = yes;
AddLabel(showlabels, "High Bar: " + AsText(lasthigh), Color.green);
addlabel(showlabels, "Close Bar: " + astext(lastclose), color.yellow);
AddLabel(showlabels, "Low Bar: " + AsText(lastlow), Color.RED);

input showbubbles = yes;
input bubblemover = 3;
def   b = bubblemover;
def  b1 = b + 1;
def last = isnan(close[b]) and !isnan(close[b1]);
AddchartBubble(showbubbles and last, lhigh,  "High: " + AsText(lasthigh), Color.green);
addchartBubble(showbubbles and last, lclose, "Close: " + astext(lastclose), color.yellow);
AddchartBubble(showbubbles and last, llow,   "Low: " + AsText(lastlow), Color.RED);
