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.

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

@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

Thanks, Mr @BenTen , let us test it

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

# Add Cloud Time Based
# tomsk
# 12.16.2019

declare hide_on_daily;

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"));
# End Add Cloud Time Based
