Daystart vertical line
Nikolay.Gekht · Mon Dec 12, 2011 3:51 pm
The simple indicator which just draws a vertical line at the beginning of chose hour (17:00EST by default).
Download:
Code: Select all `function Init() indicator:name(“Day Start Line”); indicator:description(“The indicator draws a vertical line at the specified time”); indicator:requiredSource(core.Bar); indicator:type(core.Indicator);
indicator.parameters:addGroup(“Parameters”); indicator.parameters:addInteger(“hour”, “Hour (EST)”, “Hour at start of which the line must be drawn”, 17, 0, 23); indicator.parameters:addGroup(“Style”); indicator.parameters:addColor(“clr”, “Color”, “”, core.rgb(0, 127, 0)); indicator.parameters:addInteger(“width”, “Width”, “”, 1, 1, 5); indicator.parameters:addInteger(“style”, “Style”, “”, core.LINE_DOT); indicator.parameters:setFlag(“style”, core.FLAG_LEVEL_STYLE); end
local source; local dummy, host; local hour, clr, width, style; local canwork, error;
function Prepare(onlyname) source = instance.source; clr = instance.parameters.clr; width = instance.parameters.width; style = instance.parameters.style; hour = instance.parameters.hour; host = core.host;
local s, e = core.getcandle(source:barSize(), 0, host:execute(“getTradingDayOffset”), 0); canwork = not(math.floor(e - s) >= 1);
if not canwork then errtext = “The indicator must be applied on intraday charts”; if onlyname then assert(false, errtext); else core.host:execute(“setStatus”, “error:” .. errtext); end end
local name; name = profile:id() .. “(“ .. source:name() .. “,” .. hour .. “)”; instance:name(name);
if onlyname then return ; end
dummy = instance:addStream(“D”, core.Line, name .. “.D”, “D”, clr, 0); end
local last_s = nil; local id = 0;
function Update(period, mode) if not canwork then return ; end
– calculation restarted if period == 0 then host:execute(“removeAll”); id = 0; end
local s = source:serial(period);
if last_s ~= nil and s == last_s then return ; end
last_s = s;
local date = source:date(period); local t = core.dateToTable(date); if t.min == 0 and t.hour == hour then id = id + 1; host:execute(“drawLine”, id, date, 0, date, 100000, clr, style, width, core.formatDate(host:execute(“convertTime”, core.TZ_EST, core.TZ_TS, date))); end end`

thank you again for making this simple yet very usefultool.
Is it possible, on the daily chart, add the option to place a vertical line on the 1st of each month?

Love this Indicator thanks
I just started learning how to create (code) indicators and going through the docs and downloaded the tools to code.I wanted to ask you if there is away to create an indicator to just draw a horizontal line at exactly the close of each trading day (17:00 EST). I’m trying to work on something and I wanted to see if there was a way to do that. Any assistance is apprecaited
Re: X bars back

Thanks again for the useful and very helpful indicator.
Taking the concept of this indicator I was wondering if you could create another indicator similar to it?
I am looking for an indicator that can count and indicate X bars back. For example, identify the 9th or 13th or 21st bar back. The identifying mark can be a vertical line running through the bar only (instead of a full vertical line) or an symbol place by above or below the X bar back.
thanks in advance.

Hello,
The daystarlinetime divider has served very well on the lower time line charts but it produces to many lines to frequently on the higher time lines.
could you please add a new time divider indicator similar to the daystartline?
Please add a week start line tool. The weekly start would be Sunday 17:00 or 18:00.
thanks in advance.

Hello,
Is there a strategy similar to this? What i am looking for is a automated strategy that looks back at the previous days high and day low and on next session open it places entry order (x) amount of pips over high and below the low with a limit, stop, and trailing stop option
For example- eur/usd previous high was 1.1500 and low was 1.1300. At time of close price settled at 1.1435
On the open 5pm est ( maybe have start time interchangeable as asian session is slow typically) the strategy places a buy order at (x) number of pips above the high such as 10 pips (1.1510) and a sell order at (x) number of pips below the low so using 10 pips again (1.1290) once an order gets triggered the opposite order can either stay in place as a reversal is possible or can cancel
This is similar to constant break strategy but uses the previous day and open/close values as its initiation instead of pips
Thanks for any info or development in my search
