Previous Hour High and Low times in easylanguage

Hi,

does anybody know how to code how to get the time of the previous hour Highs and lows and store the time in a variable.

What is the time frame of the bars? Hourly? If so then it is just High[1] or Low[1]

When you say previous hours H/L's do you mean the last sixty minutes ie it is now 9:17, do you mean the Highest High between now and 8:17 or do you mean between 8:00 and 9:00?

Assuming that you want the previous hour like 8:00 to 9:00, here is the code and a screenshot.

Code

Variables:
	Minutes          (0),
	ThisHourHigh     (High),
	ThisHourLow      (Low),
	ThisHourTimeH    (0),
	ThisHourTimeL    (0),
	PrevHourHigh     (High),
	PrevHourLow      (Low),
	PrevHourTimeH    (0),
	PrevHourTimeL    (0);

Minutes = MinutesFromDateTime ( ELTimeToDateTime ( Time ) ) ;

If Minutes = 0 then begin
	PrevHourHigh = ThisHourHigh ;
	PrevHourTimeH = ThisHourTimeH ;
	PrevHourLow = ThisHourLow ;
	PrevHourTimeL = ThisHourTimeL ;
	ThisHourHigh = High ;
	ThisHourTimeH = Time ;
	ThisHourLow = Low ;
	ThisHourTimeL = Time ;
end ;

If High > ThisHourHigh then begin
	ThisHourHigh = High ;
	ThisHourTimeH = Time ;
end ;

If Low < ThisHourLow then begin
	ThisHourLow = Low ;
	ThisHourTimeL = Time ;
end ;

Plot1 ( PrevHourHigh , "PrevHourHigh" ) ;
Plot2 ( PrevHourLow, "PrevHourLow" ) ;
