Plot Daily High Low & 200ma / 20ma

[pensrule67]

I have a tos script I'm trying to write but failing misserably.
I would like a script that:

1. plots the low and high of the day as a 3 weight line (yellow?) that extends into current trading day for the time period of 1515-1600 from the previous days trading session

2. and also include the 20 and 200 SMA.

3. Of the four items(20, 200 high, low) Which ever one of these is the highest and the lowest at 1600, it would create a box where they intersect at close and create a shaded cloud that extends into current day trading session.

Any help is much appreciated.
This is for a new trading strategy I want to try out. I also have some other variables i will mention.

Thanks BenTen. It is a very basic starting point as was looking for previous trading session for the high and lows at a certain time (last 45 minutes of the session. There is additional variables mentioned above.

 

[BenTen]

Your original post said, "plots the low and high of the day."

Now you say "previous trading session for the high and lows."

In that case, use the DailyHighLow indicator in TOS. It will plot the previous day's high and low on your chart.

your description is a little confusing.

do you want , to find the high and low,
from a period of 15:15-16:00,
from the previous days trading session,
and draw those levels on next day?

this sounds like an ORB study, but shifted to the end of the day...

i didn't know how the averages were supposed to fit into this, so i left them out.

this will find the high and low of a time period (15:15 to 16:00).
then draw those lines on the next day.

Thanks Guys, I will give this a shot. @BigTen, I did mention the time frame in the original post but all is ok. Thanks guys for the help.

I was going to plot the 20 and 200 sma also in this code to mark points of intersection of the 20, 200 high and low of the day right at close of previous session. I would then want to pick the highest and lowest of these points and draw a box essentially and shade the box across the Current days trading session.

this is a post to help you (and others) describe a request,
i'm not nitpicking , i am trying to help you to learn to better describe a question.
often people get an idea in their head, and have trouble communicating it to others.

you are leaving out punctuation, and describing conflicting actions , that make it hard to understand.
take a look at the beginning of my post5. i listed several, short, specific conditions, that make it clear what is to happen.

-----------------------
in post 1, #1
1. plots the low and high of the day as a 3 weight line (yellow?) that extends into current trading day for the time period of 1515-1600 from the previous days trading session

plot high and low of day.
for the time period of 1515-1600
...so which is it? all day or just during a specific time period?


post1 - #3 is similarly confusing,
3. Of the four items(20, 200 high, low) Which ever one of these is the highest and the lowest at 1600, it would create a box where they intersect at close and create a shaded cloud that extends into current day trading session.

the highest and the lowest at 1600
where they intersect at close
?? what does intersect mean ? what intersections? which action do you want to look for, highest and lowest , or intersections? at close.. of each bar? close of the day?


then is post6, you repeated your previous words, which are still confusing, so it doesn't help.
i'm sure it makes sense to you. i'm just letting you know, your words don't make sense to me.

Thanks for the input. Sorry it seems confusing. I will try to draw something up to better describe what I'm looking for.

 

[Hardlock]

What is the code I can add to just show the current day instead of all the previous days?

 

[pensrule67]

Thanks for the input. Sorry it seems confusing. I will try to draw something up to better describe what I'm looking for.

I just tried out your Code and works great! Is it possible to show only one days previous session (If not, no biggie) For example, todays close on AAPL 05/03/2023, shows the exact thing I was looking for (the high/low between 15:15 and 16:00, PERFECTLY! extended into tommorrows chart) This is exactly what I needed!
It also seems to show the closing info for the previous closes session of 5/2/2023-This is what I am wondering if is possible to not have shown (Again not a biggie if not).

I'll work on the drawing of the other portion I was trying to describe in earlier posts. So far so good! Thanks again for the effort!

 

[BenTen]

Use the built-in DailyHighLow indicator in TOS.

Set "show only last period" to Yes.

 

[Hardlock]

I was looking for the previous day and liked the code @halcyonguy put up. But only wanted the day previous to the current one. I also use it for futures - 24/5 so if I use a stock it grabs the overnight session and I was only wanting the RTH / Cash Session as I find those levels to be more relevant to use, like for TPO etc. I have a separate script for the Overnight session as I find those useful as well

 

[Hardlock]

I was looking at this code from what you sent @BenTen on the DailyHighLow but with the manual time entries I don't think this will work

input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input length = 1;
input displace = -1;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;
if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) {
    XxXxX = Double.NaN;
    XxXxX = Double.NaN;
} else {
    XxXxX = Highest(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    XxXxX = Lowest(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
}

Select input showtodayonly = yes.

At the plots, it is used to indicate if any day, getday(), is not equal to the last day, getlastday(), on the chart, then do not display the prior day's, double.nan, plots

It is one of the most asked requests and there are many examples in the search to use.

Thank you very much. That's very quick. Thanks

 

[shih90]

somehow it displays the day BEFORE previous day low on my chart. Please help to adjust of day. I want to display only last 45 mins of trading hour high & low. THANKS

 

[shih90]

Is someone can help me to fix the LOW side? I don't know what reason, It displays inaccurate and low from another day (High side is ok). I want it display HL from time 1515 to 1600.
Thanks for your help
