Hi,

I’m trying to build or find an indicator that will allow high and lows to be indicated within a specific time frame.

I have attached 2 images of examples I have with my MT4 platform but its inconvinent for me as I have to have 2 platforms open one for setup and another for trading. I would rather have everything on the one platform.

The sessions are as follows

0600-1000

1200-1500

1600-1800

2100-0500

If this can be done and its not too much trouble to do I would greatly appreciate it otherwise I may have to stop using PRT and find a different broker 🙁

Thanks for reading

Hi Saigp,

Are you looking for the indicator to look back at the previous session times, or treat the high and low in isolation for each session time ?

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I think the answer is both lol. I would like to see history of previous session highs and lows, where the highs and lows are isolated for each session.

For me price is the only indicator I use. I just want the platform to make it visually easier for me to see each session (intraday) high and low.

In Example 1 above the MT4 platform allows me to use 2 indicators. 1 allows me to block out price in the asian session, the second at the bottom just highlights session times.

In Example 2, all the session times are all highlighted on the chart, with horizontal line segmant at the highs and lows of the session

It doesnt have to look the same as above if not lines then boxes or timezones it doesnt matter as long as I can highlight the beginning and ending of each session.

Thanks

Or maybe like this? (maximum/minimum between 2 hours are something often asked, I always have this kind of code ready to be copy/paste 🙂 )

Session1TimeStart = 060000
Session1TimeClose = 100000

if intradaybarindex=0 then
 S1low=Dopen(0)
 S1high=Dopen(0)
endif

if time > Session1TimeStart and time < Session1TimeClose then
 S1high = MAX(S1high,high)
 S1low = MIN(S1low,low)
else
 S1high = 0
 S1low = Dopen(0)*100
endif

RETURN S1high coloured (200,0,0) as "s1high", S1low coloured (200,0,0) as "S1low"

Session1TimeStart = 060000

Session1TimeClose = 100000

if intradaybarindex=0 then

S1low=Dopen(0)

S1high=Dopen(0)

endif

if time > Session1TimeStart and time < Session1TimeClose then

S1high = MAX(S1high,high)

S1low = MIN(S1low,low)

else

S1high = 0

S1low = Dopen(0)*100

endif

RETURN S1high coloured (200,0,0) as "s1high", S1low coloured (200,0,0) as "S1low"

Change drawing values to point mode and add colour fill between them.

The code I gave is an example and must be completed by all the time sessions you want. Or you can create 3 same one with different SessionTimeStart and SessionTimeEnd.

Yes, you just need to add this indicator on price and “Change drawing values to point mode and add colour fill between them.”

Make sure Vertical autoscaling: use price only is ticked on the charts Price chart panel properties (wrench icon top left of the chart) and that you’ve unticked the necessary Colour Zone for the indicator

The code you have copy/paste is not an indicator, but part of an automatic trading strategy (proorder program).

❓ Just make a new indicator with the indicator tool.
