Horizontal Line Candle Open and Time

  Hello Forum Members,

  I would like to draw a horizontal line at the open of the 08:00 candle from the previous day, using an M5 timeframe.

  I can see that this might be done by counting back bars from the current time, but I suspect that there’s probably a more elegant solution.

  Can anyone suggest how this can be done?

  Thank You

  Could you test this code? I think it should works.

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true if opentime=080000 then value=close endif if intradaybarindex=0 then drawhline(value) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true   if opentime=080000 then value=close endif   if intradaybarindex=0 then drawhline(value) endif   return

  Thanks for the quick reply.

  Unfortunately this code doesn’t draw a line for me.

  Change line 7 as follows

  if intradaybarindex>=0 then

  1	if intradaybarindex>=0 then

  Actually you can remove both line 7 and 9.

  That’s an improvement.

  I get a line now, but at Today’s 08:00, rather than yesterdays.

  Write line 4 as

  value=close[288]

  1	value=close[288]

  because there are 24 * 12 5-minute bars in a day your are going to get yesterday’s value.
