Range boxes

[merc2226]

Can someone help me with this:

At 9:30 am I draw a gray rectangle box starting at 9:30 and ending at 1:00.

I take the market price at 930, the bottom and top of the rectangle is .54 below and above the market price at 930.

I do the exact same thing at 1:00 ending at 4:00

So basically it’s 2 rectangle boxes that create a zone for the morning session and afternoon session.

Can someone help me to code this.

I use it on mobile and TOS.

Kind of, looks like you have to enter high low area in the code each time or it is using other countries markets to plot on the chart.

The only difference is what i'm looking for it to automatically create the box based on the market price at 9:30 then again at 1:00
high of box and low of box is .54 above and below the market price at 930 and again at 1:00.
It would be a box that is created every day twice a day without me having to do anything.

is there a way to make this work on mobile?

Sorry, I do not use mobile. Perhaps someone else that does can help.

ToS Mobile does not support study formatting elements such as vertical lines, labels, bubbles, clouds, color changes for slopes and lines, renko, or multiple timeframes.

SleepyZ, what can I add to make it start at 9:30 then end and 1:00 while the other one starts at 1:00 and ends at 4:00.

now they both extend across till the end of the day.

This replaces the end times to those you requested

Can you share how will you trade with these 2 range boxes? Does it works like range breakout?
