Having trouble with a futures indicator working incorrectly on Sunday/Monday session

July 25th, 2021, 06:47 PM

I have written/ hacked together the following easy language indicator. The closing price is taken at 1600hrs and begins plotting for the next session immediately. I am having trouble with Sunday evenings then Monday sessions with the indicator recalculaing when it shouldnt until Monday at 1600. Please see the attached screenshots. It will make a lot more sense.

Code

vars: 
DayPivot(0),
Mid(0), 
ThreeDHigh(0),
ThreeDLow(0),
PivotDiff(0),
ThreeDRangeHigh(0),
ThreeDRangeLow(0),
OncePerDay(0),
ThreeDPP(0),
SecondNumber(0);
 
If date > date[1] then OncePerDay = 0 ;
If Time > 1600 and OncePerDay = 0
then begin

	OncePerDay = 1;
	
	DayPivot = (highd(0)+lowd(0)+Close) / 3;
	ThreeDHigh = highest(high,(276));
	ThreeDLow = lowest(low,(276));
	SecondNumber = (ThreeDLow + ThreeDHigh) /2;
	PivotDiff = (DayPivot - SecondNumber); 
	ThreeDRangeHigh = (DayPivot + PivotDiff);
	ThreeDRangeLow = (DayPivot - PivotDiff);
	ThreeDPP = (ThreeDLow + ThreeDHigh +c[0]) /3;

	
end; 
 
        plot2(ThreeDRangeHigh,"+3dRangeHigh",DarkGreen); 
	plot3(ThreeDRangeLow,"-3dRangeLow",DarkRed); 
	plot4(ThreeDPP,"3dPP",Blue);

stevemkay,

welcome to futures.io. Nothing in your code prevents the expression "If Time > 1600 and OncePerDay = 0" evaluating to true on Sundays. One idea could be to include a check for the day of the week (using the reserved word DayOfWeek) to ensure the expression is false on Sundays.
