See if this works

Ruby:
input openingTime = 1600;
input closingTime = 0930;

def sec1    = SecondsFromTime(openingTime);
def sec2    = SecondsFromTime(closingTime);
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 rhi        = if inRange and !inRange[1]
                 then high
                 else if inRange[1] and high > rhi[1]
                 then high else rhi[1];
def rHighBar   = if inRange and high == rhi then BarNumber() else Double.NaN;
def rHighest   = if BarNumber() == HighestAll(rHighBar)  then rhi else rHighest[1];

plot rangehigh = if (rHighest > 0) then rHighest else Double.NaN;
rangehigh.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
rangehigh.setlineWeight(2);

def rlow       = if inRange and !inRange[1]
                 then low
                 else if inRange[1] and low < rlow[1]
                 then low else rlow[1];
def rLowBar    = if inRange and low == rlow then BarNumber() else Double.NaN;
def rlowest    = if BarNumber() == HighestAll(rLowBar) then rlow else rlowest[1];

plot rangelow  = if (rlowest > 0) then rlowest else Double.NaN;
rangelow.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
rangelow.setlineWeight(2);
 
Can someone please help with a watch list script that shows

via green for above pre market high red below

alerts (ring bell) when the stock crosses above PM high
 
So like this?

Code:
##HighOfYear
def High52Week = Highest(High(period = "Day"), 252);
AddLabel(1, (High52Week), Color.Cyan);
plot HighofYear=High52Week;
Can we get this to mark pre market or after market highs? I think that has something to do with Globex? I have a theory about highs made in after market or premarket and not returning to them in the open market has a high success rate of return to that point...eventually. More than IMO open market high then returning.
 
This is what i have and it works except it is giving me a channel that plots on every bar on a 1 minute chart and i just want a horizontal line based off opening price.

Thank you


Code:
input daysToPlot = 10;

input symbol = "/es";


plot Data = open(symbol);



plot a = Data + 3;

plot b = Data - 3;
 
Ruby:
def Time =
    GetTime()
;
def Start =
    RegularTradingStart(GetyYYYMMDD())
;
def First =
    Time == Start + 1
;
def Opening =
    if First then Open
    else Opening[1]
;
plot Line = Opening;
Line.setPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
 
@earlyinout:
How can i def and plot the open price for rth only. maybe should have mentioned I was trying to use on a renko bar chart. Does that require something else in the script?

This might fix it... but meme bars are just not well suited to time sensitive code.

Ruby:
def Time =
    GetTime()
;
def Start =
    RegularTradingStart(GetyYYYMMDD())
;
def First =
    Time > Start and Time[1] <= Start
;
def Opening =
    if First then Open
    else Opening[1]
;
plot Line = Opening;
Line.setPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
 
Thanks so much Joshua! Works great except for renko....beginning to think it just can't be done, thank you again it is much appreciated!

See if this helps for your renko open

Ruby:
input time = 0930;

AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(time)[1] < 0 and SecondsFromTime(time) > 0, stroke = Curve.FIRM, color = Color.WHITE);

def o = if SecondsFromTime(time)[1] < 0 and SecondsFromTime(time) > 0
        then open
        else o[1];
plot o1 = o;
o1.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
 
I am trying to figure out how to plot the RTH open for /es on my charts for four days with no success. Can someone please share with me how I can accomplish this??

Thank you!
 
checking for a different value of dayoftheweek() seems to work. it changes values on a different trading day. if /ES closes at 4pm and reopens at 5pm, it is during the same day, but dayoftheweek() will have a different value at 5pm.

Code:
def dow = GetDayofWeek( GetYYYYMMDD() );
def esopen = if (dow[1] <> dow) then open else esopen[1];

plot z = esopen;
z.setdefaultcolor(color.cyan);
z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

input test1 = no;
addchartbubble(test1, low, dow, color.cyan, no);

often when creating a study, i will add bubbles to display variable values. this can help when a study isn't doing what you think it should.

Returns the day of week based on the given YYYYMMDD parameter.
The return value ranges from from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday).

I'm trying to capture the High, Low, and Close of the Futures Market at 1600 versus 1645 (after hours) for the previous day. In addition to that I'd like to display a horizontal line for the HLC levels with the ability to change the coloring.

In summary:
1. Horizontal Line to capture Futures High, Low, Close
2. Expectation is to capture the Close at 1600 (4pm ET)
3. Ability to modify the horizontal lines (color, weight)

Does anybody have a code for a column watchlist that would display after-hours percent change for each stock in a portfolio?
 
In your watchlist settings there is an option called Mark % change. If you add that to your watchlist it should display pre and after market % change. You can also do a comparison between % change and Mark % change side by side.
