Dear fellow traders,
Since i have zero skills in programming, i would be really pleased if someone would be kind enough to adapt an indicator found on tradingview into our beloved prorealtime language (see the code below).
Basically, as I understand it, this indicator sets up a range for the entire trading day based on the lowest and highest point reached between midnight until 7 am, just before the London session opening (hours should be able to be modified to suit personal taste), on a 1H timeframe.
More over, it automatically sets 2 profit targets above and below the range: 1 based on half of the range size and 1 equals to the total size of the range.
(See attached picture)
This indicator proves to be very helpful in trading some strategies such as the London open breakout.
Cheers/merci in advance!
Jules
