Count Minutes from Day Open?

  Hello!

  I am trying to figure out how to return the amount of minutes passed from open – but i just cant get a hold of it.

   

  The aim of this code is to retrieve the average minutes passed of each candle when using Tick Charts (just to get q quick hum about timeframe).

   

  Does anyone have a suggestion? This is what ive come up with so far and it gives an OK estimate of average minutes, but would be more precise if i could get the (exact) amount of minutes passed since open.

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true newday=intradaybarindex<intradaybarindex[1] if newday then drawvline(barindex)coloured(200,200,200,50) opentid=openhour else drawtext("#opentid#",barindex,0.8)coloured(0,200,0) closetid=openhour+1 drawtext("#closetid#",barindex,0.6)coloured(200,0,0) tid=closetid-opentid drawtext("#tid#",barindex,0.4)coloured(0,0,0) drawtext("-",barindex,0) tidminuter=tid*60 drawtext("#tidminuter#",barindex,-0.2)coloured(0,0,0) idbx=intradaybarindex drawtext("#idbx#",barindex,-0.4) minpertick=(tidminuter/idbx) drawtext("#minpertick#",barindex,-0.6)coloured(0,0,0) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true newday=intradaybarindex<intradaybarindex[1]   if newday then drawvline(barindex)coloured(200,200,200,50)   opentid=openhour   else drawtext("#opentid#",barindex,0.8)coloured(0,200,0) closetid=openhour+1 drawtext("#closetid#",barindex,0.6)coloured(200,0,0)   tid=closetid-opentid drawtext("#tid#",barindex,0.4)coloured(0,0,0)   drawtext("-",barindex,0)   tidminuter=tid*60 drawtext("#tidminuter#",barindex,-0.2)coloured(0,0,0)   idbx=intradaybarindex drawtext("#idbx#",barindex,-0.4)   minpertick=(tidminuter/idbx) drawtext("#minpertick#",barindex,-0.6)coloured(0,0,0) endif return

  The “minpertick” is the number im aiming for.

   

  Please note that the y-values have no purpose whatsoever – its just for me to see the “equation”.

   

  THANKS!

  Replace empty line 6 with:

  Count = 0

  1

  Count = 0

  Then insert before line 25:

  IF OpenMinute <> OpenMinute[1] THEN Count = Count + 1 ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF OpenMinute <> OpenMinute[1] THEN    Count = Count + 1 ENDIF

  Now COUNT will hold the number of minutes fron the start of the new day.

  Unfortunately that did not really work when switching between timeframes – but i managed to get it exactly as how i wanted it now.

   

  Perhaps someone else can benefit from it…

   

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true //--- Starthour=8 newcountday=openhour=StartHour and openhour<>openhour[1] if newcountday then opentid=openhour prehours=intradaybarindex timeopen=time[1] else timecurrent=time elapsed=(timecurrent-timeopen) hourspassed=(openhour-opentid)*10000 hoursonly=hourspassed/10000 minelapsed=round((elapsed-hourspassed)/100) totmin=(hoursonly*60)+minelapsed idbx=intradaybarindex-prehours+1 minperbar=round(((totmin/idbx)*10))/10 drawtext("#minperbar#min/bar",barindex,close,dialog,bold,12)coloured(0,0,0) //--- endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true //--- Starthour=8 newcountday=openhour=StartHour and openhour<>openhour[1] if newcountday then opentid=openhour prehours=intradaybarindex timeopen=time[1] else timecurrent=time elapsed=(timecurrent-timeopen) hourspassed=(openhour-opentid)*10000 hoursonly=hourspassed/10000 minelapsed=round((elapsed-hourspassed)/100) totmin=(hoursonly*60)+minelapsed idbx=intradaybarindex-prehours+1 minperbar=round(((totmin/idbx)*10))/10 drawtext("#minperbar#min/bar",barindex,close,dialog,bold,12)coloured(0,0,0) //--- endif return
