How to get the 8am open price into the code

  Is there a way to get the code to automatically work out the 8am open price in the code so it adjusts itself every day?

  IF time = 080000 THEN . . //write whatever you want to be done at 08:00am here . ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5

  IF time = 080000 THEN . .      //write whatever you want to be done at 08:00am here . ENDIF

  Roberto,

  I tried what you suggested but couldnt get it to do what I wanted? How do I get it to automatically work out the 8am open price of the FTSE so I dont have to manually put it in the “Value” of my settings before I start it in the mornings?

  Sorry but Im very new to programming

  Thanks,

  Hi,

  Its on the 5min TF and all I want is for the code to know what the 8am open price is so I dont have to manually adjust the “Value” setting each day.

  Thanks

  At line 11 add:

  IF time = 080000 THEN PriceAt0800 = open ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF time = 080000 THEN    PriceAt0800 = open ENDIF

  then use variable PriceAt0800 whenever you need thet value.

  In case it is not the price you need replace TIME with OPENTIME.

  Many thanks Roberto.

  Seems to work ok, good to learn so hopefully I will know a bit more for the future.
