Vertical clouds between two time periods

I'm trying to use a vertical cloud to fill in between two time periods. Would also like to control the height of the cloud.

Can anyone help? Here is my code:

# Vertical Line will NOT display if input date is set to a NON-TRADING day.

declare lower;

input XLE_start1 = 20240112;
input XLE_end1 = 20240212;

def XLE_Range_1_start = (GetYYYYMMDD() == XLE_start1) ;
def XLE_Range_1_end = (GetYYYYMMDD() == XLE_end1) ;

AddVerticalLine(((XLE_Range_1_start)), "XLE begin", Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);
AddVerticalLine(((XLE_Range_1_end)), "XLE end", Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);

AddCloud(XLE_Range_1_start and Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, XLE_Range_1_end and Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY );

enter 2 dates , YYYMMDD
if not a trade day, then goes to nearest trade date
draws 2 vertical lines, at start date and end date
draw a gray cloud between the lines

halcyonguy, Thank you!! This is it. I can move forward now. Am looking at controlling the height of the cloud now. I will research. Thanks!!

This is another method that uses @halcyonguy 's fold to find the highest high/lowest low in the range to limit the height of the cloud

The image uses a 4h 180d chart

i changed my code in post 2,
i added variables for the cloud top and bottom, to make it easier to change them
I'm still trying to figure out another way to control the height of cloud without having any price chart, OR to set a 0-1 price range on the right of the chart (see image) and set the height based on 1-0.

SleepyZ: I think I got it. I modified your code slightly by adding a plot so I don't rely on the symbol's price. I can now change the height accordingly. Check it out:

Yes, that works! Since you are using constants (A,B,C) you do not need the fold code and could simpy use something like the following

Code:
declare lower;


def A = 1.0;
def B = 0.5;
plot C = 0.0;


input XLE_start1 = 20240112;
input XLE_end1  = 20240212;
input hideplots = yes;
input verticals = yes;

def XLE_Range_1_start = (GetYYYYMMDD()[1] < XLE_start1 and GetYYYYMMDD() >= XLE_start1);
def XLE_Range_1_end = (GetYYYYMMDD() <= XLE_end1 and GetYYYYMMDD()[-1] > XLE_end1);

def bn = BarNumber();
def na = Double.NaN;

def rng = if bn == 1 then 0
else if XLE_Range_1_start then 1
else if XLE_Range_1_end then 0
else rng[1];

def hix = if !rng then na else A;
def lox = if !rng then na else B;

AddVerticalLine((verticals and (XLE_Range_1_start)), "XLE begin", Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);
AddVerticalLine((verticals and (XLE_Range_1_end)), "XLE end", Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);

I went ahead and modified again. It works. My end goal is to use it as customizable seasonality chart. I'm currently viewing on a Daily chart for 1 year, but would like to view the specific dates in prior years as well. Is this possible?

If you were looking for these 2024 dates to appear for those 1 year back, then the following addition should help

1. To find the year back from the input dates was done by subtracting 10000 from each input date.
2. A years_back input was added to allow easier addition of years, if desired.
3. To make additional years_back, Add the following snippet to your full code
3a. Change all of the 'a' added to each part of the snippet to 'b', etc for each additonal year. See bold examples in snippet code

[Examples
input years_backa = 1;
def XLE_Range_1a_start = (GetYYYYMMDD()[1] < (XLE_start1-10000-years_backa) and GetYYYYMMDD() >= (XLE_start1)-10000-years_backa) ;

3b. Change years_back to next years back .
