Prior high and low & 50% of the previous candle as labels?

[jr2146]

Hi all,

I am Looking to see if someone can please write a code for the prior high and low and the 50% level of the previous candle to be put in a tab in the upper left corner of the chart that can be colored.

The first column should be the High of the previous candle, the middle column should be the 50% of the previous candle and the third column should be the previous candles low.

Here is a link to a picture of what I am looking for:

Thank you for any help on this..

@jr2146 This should plot the labels you want -

addlabel(1,round(low[1]),color.red);
addlabel(1,round(hl2[1]),color.white);
addlabel(1,round(high[1]),color.light_green);

addlabel(1,round(low[1]),color.red);
addlabel(1,round(hl2[1]),color.white);
addlabel(1,round(high[1]),color.light_green);

How would one go about setting up a plotted price line for where this 50% level is and creating an alert for whenever it has been triggered?

@FicoJordan Like this . . . I think. I usually don't use coded alerts so have no idea if this one will work.

plot line = if !isnan(close) and isnan(close[-1]) then hl2[1] else double.nan;
line.setpaintingstrategy(paintingstrategy.horizontal);
line.setlineweight(2);
line.setdefaultcolor(color.blue);

Alert(close crosses line, "HL2 Cross", alert.bar, sound.ring);

@Pensar This is great, any way to make this MTF as well?

input agg = AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN ;
def high= high(period = agg);
def low= low(period = agg);
def hl2= hl2(period = agg);

addlabel(1,round(low[1]),color.red);
addlabel(1,round(hl2[1]),color.white);
addlabel(1,round(high[1]),color.light_green);

We've noticed that your recent posts have been focused on creating or using MTF indicators. We wanted to offer a suggestion that could potentially save you some time. Have you considered creating your own MTF indicator? This could also be a faster and easier option.
Give it a try, on your next request. Here is the tutorial:

As I was waiting I did a little more digging and created this. I am basing this off the four hour timeframe. This is what I have come up with so far.
The only thing I can't figure out now is how to extend the lines from the previous candle.

input period = AggregationPeriod.FOUR_HOURS;
input symbol = "/es";
input ShowTodayOnly = no;
def today = ShowTodayOnly and GetDay()!=GetLastDay();
def na = Double.NaN; # non-numeric values
def h = high(period = period);
def l = low(period = period);
def c = close(period = period);
input price = close;
input ExtendLines = no;
def ExtLines = if !ExtendLines then IsNaN(close) else
if ExtendLines then 0 else ExtLines[1];

plot MedianPrice = hl2(symbol, period);
MedianPrice.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
MedianPrice.SetLineWeight(2);
MedianPrice.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);

plot PrevMedianPrice = if hl2 == 0 or ExtLines or today then na else hl2[-1] ;
