Weekly Opening Range for TOS

February 4th, 2014, 03:12 PM

I have a script from thinkscripter that gives the Opening Range on a Daily chart. This script plots the high and low for the morning and shows the lines going forward until the end of the day. One can change the times it records for plotting lines for each day.

What I need is an Opening Range script that plots the opening range for the Week. This would record monday morning's high/low and plot it for the entire week going forward.

Anyone have this script for TOS or know how to make it?

Thanks

I'll look into it but I bet @rmejia knows.

I do it manually drawing a rectangle and inputing the dates.

This code is as far as I got; don't know how to push the start of the lines forward.

Code

def TheWeek = getWeek();
def WeekBeg = if TheWeek != TheWeek[1] then 1 else 0;

rec displayedHigh = if IsNan(high > displayedHigh[1]) then 0 else if weekBeg then high else displayedHigh[1];
REC displayedLow = if IsNan(low > displayedLow[1]) then 0 else if WeekBeg == 1 then low else displayedLow[1];


rec ORHigh = if IsNan(ORHigh[1]) then 0 else if WeekBeg == 1 then displayedHigh else ORHigh[1];
rec ORLow = if IsNan(ORLow[1]) then 0 else if WeekBeg == 1 then displayedLow else ORLow[1];


plot Opening_Range_High = ORHIgh;
plot Opening_Range_Low = ORLow;

Perhaps

@growex can figure it out!

This is a good start! I wish I knew more about coding in tos. This is plotting a range and holding it for the week like I need. Somehow I need the code to plot it from sunday high/low to Monday market open high/low and then hold that going forward for the week.

Thanks for your start on this. I think its a good starting point for what it needs to be. Maybe someone else knows how to complete it.

Thanks for looking into it

rmejia, thank you.

gsl8r, open the TS_OpeningRange study in thinkscript editor and add these lines to the end of the script.

Code

                            
def date = GetYYYYMMDD();
def MondayORHigh = if getdayOfWeek(date) == 1 then orHigh else MondayORHigh[1];
def MondayORLow = if getdayOfWeek(date) == 1 then orLow else MondayORLow[1];
plot hline = MondayORHigh;
plot lline = MondayORLow;

It will hold your choosen Monday morning open range levels for entire week until next Monday

Awesome! It works!

Thank you for this and everyone else that helped me out.

Where do enter in the times (somewhere in the code)? I'm a total noob when comes to code
Thanks

@blb014 you won't enter in any times into this code. The script automatically plots the weekly opening range for every week on the chart.

One thing you will need is to buy this script: Opening [AUTOLINK]Range[/AUTOLINK] | ThinkScripter and then make the addition provided here to it.

I don't feel right about posting it it here since its a paid script and owned by Eric.
