Problems with TimeFrame. How do I make this program?

  Hello,

  I’ve been programming for a short time and I’ve run into a problem. The thing is that I want to make a program that scans a list of stocks for 250 days. On each of those days it finds the opening price of the day and also the share price at a given hour and at another given hour, data that will then be processed.

  The intention is to make a screener that calculates the percentage by which a stock at a given hour (H1) exceeded the indicated % (perH1) with respect to the opening of the day (opening),and at another indicated hour (H2) it was below another indicated percentage (perH2) (with respect to the opening price).

  I have written this program but I don’t think it works well. I suppose the problem is that the TIMEFRAMES are not nested. I need the program to access the hours of each of the days. How do I do this?

  H1=1 //First check: hour after start of session perH1=0.5// First check: percentage of change from opening H2=7 // Second check: hour after start of session perH2=0 // Second check: percentage of change from opening dayss=250 // analysed period c1=close>0 totalCases=0 For i = 0 to dayss-1 TIMEFRAME(daily) opening=open[i] TIMEFRAME(1 hour) priceControl1=close[8-H1] variationControl1= ((priceControl1-opening)/opening)*100 priceControl2=close[8-H2] variationControl2= ((priceControl2-opening)/opening)*100 if variationControl1 >= perH1 and variationControl2 <= perH2 then totalCases=totalCases+1 endif next percentage=(totalCases/dayss)*100 SCREENER[c1](percentage as "% Cases")

  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 29 30 31 32 33

  H1=1 //First check: hour after start of session perH1=0.5// First check: percentage of change from opening   H2=7 // Second check: hour after start of session perH2=0 // Second check: percentage of change from opening   dayss=250  // analysed period   c1=close>0   totalCases=0   For i = 0 to dayss-1     TIMEFRAME(daily)   opening=open[i]     TIMEFRAME(1 hour)   priceControl1=close[8-H1]   variationControl1= ((priceControl1-opening)/opening)*100     priceControl2=close[8-H2]   variationControl2= ((priceControl2-opening)/opening)*100     if variationControl1 >= perH1 and variationControl2 <= perH2 then    totalCases=totalCases+1   endif   next   percentage=(totalCases/dayss)*100   SCREENER[c1](percentage as "% Cases")

   

   

   

  Thanks!

  What you want to achieve is not possible.

  Timeframe shouldn’t be use inside loops or IF blocks.

  In addition, when you loop 250 bars backwards on the hourly TF, it’s just slightly over 10 days, not much!!!

  Do not double post. Ask your question only once and only in one forum. All double posts will be deleted anyway so posting the same question multiple times will just be wasting your own time and will not get you an answer any quicker. Double posting just creates confusion in the forums.

  Thanks 🙂

  My intention was actually to go through the last 250 days and take data from specific hourly bars each day and then process de data.
  How would you do it? Is it possible? Thanks for your answer.

  You can only go backwards roughly 10 days.
