Levels Tokyo London New York Markets For ThinkOrSwim

[SimpleScript]

The idea is to drawing the box around the overnight session, and another box to highlight the Europe or London session, to allow easy visual identification/exchange attribution for any identified support/resistance areas. Want this to work on any Intraday aggregation.

did a bunch of poking around tonite, and what Im thinking might work is to

1) input the start and stop times for the sessions (these below are just examples)

input EUOpen = 0100;
input RTHOpen = 0900;
input RTHClose = 1600;
input AsiaOpen = 1800;

2) use conditional logic to then allow addcloud to paint the boxes to the high and lo of those periods

am I on the right track here?
is there a better way to get RTH/ETH/exchange market hours?
do I need to use secondstilltime? to set the desired range?
what's the best way to capture the max hi and low for that specified time period? use High or HighestAll functions?
TIA

Here are some threads to get you started:

Thank you. I was able to get this figured out. I was able to use the below code:

input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;
def label = yes;

input LOND_Close = 1130;  #NYC Close
def isLONclose = SecondsFromTime(LOND_Close) == 0;
def closePrice = if isLONclose then open else closePrice[1];
plot theClose = closePrice;
theclose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
theclose.SetDefaultColor(Color.DARK_Orange);
theclose.SetLineWeight(2);

def shouldHidePlot = showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[-1]);

Hello,

I was trying to search through the threads here but was getting back too many results when trying to see how to correctly code this.

I was hoping someone could please help with the Thinkscript on how to plot a price line for the candle close of the London Stock Exchange (11:30am EST).

Any help is much appreciated! I was trying to pick through some existing price line code I have for other indicators, but couldn't figure out how to code it just for a specific candle close versus a time range.


Below is the code I was trying to tweak, which posts a price level for NYSE opening (9:30am EST).

input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;
def label = yes;

def isOpen = GetTime() >= RegularTradingStart(GetYYYYMMDD()) and GetTime() <= RegularTradingEnd(GetYYYYMMDD());

def firstBarOpen = if isOpen and !isOpen[1] then open else if !isOpen then Double.NaN else firstBarOpen[1];

plot OpeningPrice;
OpeningPrice.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
OpeningPrice.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);
OpeningPrice.SetLineWeight(2);

def shouldHidePlot = showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[-1]);

if shouldHidePlot {
    OpeningPrice = Double.NaN;
} else {
    OpeningPrice = firstBarOpen;
}

##AddLabel(label, "OP: " + AsDollars(OpeningPrice), Color.CYAN);

I thought I had posted this at large but can't find it. It is titled AsGood_EuropeClosingVerticalLine which gives a 10 minute heads up for the closing. It is also part of my AGAIG_BestTradingChartSetup which also has a 10 min heads up for PowerHour (the last hour of trading.

CODE:

#AsGood-EuropeClosingVertical Line
input targetTime830 = 830;
def targetBar830 = SecondsFromTime(targetTime830) == 0;

input targetTime930 = 930;
def targetBar930 = SecondsFromTime(targetTime930) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(targetBar930, "MARKET OPEN", Color.YELLOW);

input targetTime1120 = 1120;
def targetBar1120 = SecondsFromTime(targetTime1120) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(targetBar1120, "UK MARKET CLOSING 10 MIN", Color.WHITE);
