Highlight defined time range on chart

[wilmanv]

Is there any script that shows me the charts only for a certain time that I define, sample: just betwen 9:00 to 10:00 AM or 2:00 to 4:00PM, for any timeframe: 2 min, 5min, daily, weekly. thanks

Here is a simple script that lets you highlight a defined time.

# TS_TRADEZONES

input zoneStart = 1500;
input zoneEnd = 1615;
input type = {default NOTRADE, REVERSAL};
plot highBar;
plot lowBar;

switch (type){

case NOTRADE:
highBar = if secondsTillTime(zoneStart) <= 0 and secondsTillTime(zoneEnd) >= 0 then highestAll(high) else double.nan;
lowBar = if secondsTillTime(zoneStart) <= 0 and secondsTillTime(zoneEnd) >= 0 then lowestAll(low) else double.nan;

case REVERSAL:
lowBar = if secondsTillTime(zoneStart) <= 0 and secondsTillTime(zoneEnd) >= 0 then highestAll(high) else double.nan;
highBar = if secondsTillTime(zoneStart) <= 0 and secondsTillTime(zoneEnd) >= 0 then lowestAll(low) else double.nan;
}
highBar.assignValueColor(if highBar>lowBar then color.dark_red else color.green);
lowBar.assignValueColor(if highBar>lowBar then color.dark_red else color.green);
addCloud(lowBar, highBar);
#---------------- End Of Code --------------------

Thanks, @BenTen , is possible just show that time , the rest of hours off or no visualize, thanks

 

[BenTen]

@wilmanv I'm not sure

@BenTen This is probably the best way to highlight via an AddCloud the times of day one would be interested in. Run this on a 5 min chart for example

# Add Cloud Time Based
# tomsk
# 12.16.2019

declare hide_on_daily;

input Time1 = 1100;
input Time2 = 1330;

def active = SecondsTillTime(Time1) <= 0 and SecondsTillTime(Time2) >= 0;
AddCloud(if active then Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY else Double.NaN, Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, Color.Gray, Color.Gray);
# End Add Cloud Time Based

 

[wilmanv]

Thanks, Mr @BenTen , let us test it

 

[evanevans]

Anybody know of a script to show/highlight certain times of the trading day? Like morning, mod-day, and closing, etc?

what time frames are you trying to highlight?

This worked great for me... i'm highlighting time frames for futures. One thing I ran into was an issue highlighting timeframes that carried over from 2300 - 0200 the next day... doesn't seem like TOS likes the idea of assigning a time value that are different days? Not sure if there is a way to code around that.

This should help. The image shows the cloud color magenta, which was changed at the input screen

input Time1 = 1100;
input Time2 = 1330;

def sec1 = SecondsFromTime(Time1);
def sec2 = SecondsFromTime(Time2);
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 active = inRange;
DefineGlobalColor("Cloud", Color.GRAY);
AddCloud(if active then Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY else Double.NaN, Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, GlobalColor("Cloud"), GlobalColor("Cloud"));

@SleepyZ or others, this is a great tool. Is there a way to have the cloud stop a the high and low of the candles in the time frame?

 

[tradebook]

@MerryDay Hi Merry, do you know how I could use this tool, but have the cloud stop at the high and low of a time range?

Yes,

Thanks @SleepyZ , for some reason this is not populating on my chart. I am using ticks and range bars

I don't use tick or range charts. Since they are not time based, this time based indicator may not always work as it does on time based charts.

Here is it though working on a tick chart (upper pane) and range chart for AAL

 

[tradebook]

@SleepyZ do you know if there is an option on this to go back to the far left as much as possible?

Yes, but it requires a separate plot for each pair of high/low. The following creates 5 pairs. More pairs can be created using the logic creating the 5 pairs.

Yes,

can you add chart bubble for hrange and lrange?

I don't see where you can change the color
