Horizontal Line Drawn At A Certain Time

June 17th, 2022, 08:53 AM

I've managed to code my algorithm in EL for trading. My current research is focused on differentiating between 'Last Price' Vs. Settlement Price. Websites with data will show 'Last Price' but are actually portraying the settlement price. In certain times, like earnings season, the differences between the prices can be somewhat large. Is it possible to draw a horizontal line at the last price on a chart @ 16:59:59 yesterday, which would be the true last price. So instead of the horizontal line tied to a price- the line is tied to the last price at a certain time ...........
Any help is appreciated ...........

hi

Quoting

Input:
MyTime(165959);
Var:
x(0);

if time = mytime then x = C;
if x <> 0 then Plot(x);

Thanks I can't get it to plot- it might be something with scaling, I changed Plot(x)to Plot1(x).
But that didn't help- I'll play with it some more.
Is there a way to do that same time but the day before [1] ?
Thank you for your help.

hi, try

Quoting

plot1(x,"hl",cyan);

I don't understand what you want to achieve.
If it's the previous day's value and you use an intradychart
you risk to get the same value with x[1].
So you would need to introduce a second variable y
and every time transfer the values with

Quoting

Input:
MyTime(165959);
Vars:
x(0),y(0);

if time = mytime then begin
y = x;
x = C;
end;
if y <> 0 then Plot1(y,"hl",cyan);

Hi @Kolnidrei,

FYI, you might want to use the CODE tags instead of QUOTE. (Click # icon on the menu bar in the editor.) It makes it a little more clear that you are proposing new code, not quoting something already posted:

Code

Input:
MyTime(165959);
Vars:
x(0),y(0);

if time = mytime then begin
y = x;
x = C;
end;
if y <> 0 then Plot1(y,"hl",cyan);

Just formatting, but it might be better for what you are doing.

hi Bob,

thank you for your notice, I was looking for it,
for some reason I didn't find it that's why I used 'Quote',
now I saw it !
