This simple indicator, draw three vertical lines at specified period Back or Onward from the current period.
If you want to draw line in the future, use a negative period.

Hi apprentice, how are you?
I have seen a few tools here which draw lines based on a selected hour, like the 2 tools above.
Is it possible to draw lines by day of the week and by day of the week plus a selected hour? For example, draw a vertical line for Sunday17:00 or Monday09:00?
thanks in advance.

Hi Apprentice, good to hear you’re doing better.
to be able to draw the vertical line by day of the week, would you need to start over or can it be created by changing a few lines on the current coding? If yes, which line?
thanks.
Re: Time of a candle
Apprentice · Tue Mar 13, 2012 3:05 am
Change is not complicated. But I have to add a few new things.

Hello Apprentice,
Is it possible to to have the vertical lines automatically displayed on the current trading day only? And may be optional for the past day or X days ?
-So charts are not cluttered up with lines that hinder analyzing past price action. -Changing Indicator every day to have only toady’s lines available is not necessary. -Charts would load faster. (at least I think so)
I would also be very Thankful if you could add 3 more lines to choose for each day for a total of 6 to the last version of the indicator “Time of a candle.lua”.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello Apprentice, how are you?
This tool with the ability to draw weekly vertical lines has been very helpful. It has saved a lot of time. I can now quickly identify price action from 1 week to another on the lower time lines especially on the 4 hour chart.
Is it possible to add the option to have it draw vertical lines on the first day of the month? This way I can time dive the daily charts monthly.
thanks in advance.
Re: Time of a candle

Try this one. I also have add filter option, so that lines will be drawn on a larger time frame. For example. H1 will not be drawn on D1.

Hello Apprentice, thanks for working on this indicator.
Any thoughts on how you can get the monthly start line to be drawn on the daily chart?
thanks.

Hi Apprentice, thanks so far for all your help.
on the monthly line, it is drawing a line on March 2nd instead of March 1st. Feb is the same thing, drawing a line on Feb 2nd instead of Feb 1st. Same for December, November and September but Oct is fine first trading day for the months was Oct 3rd.
January is fine as the first trading day was Jan 2nd.
Any thoughts?

Hello Apprentice,
For the Candle LookBack Period Indicator, is it possible to give the user the option to choose whether to draw vertical line or place a marker at the x lookback period? This will help De-clutter the charts.
Thanks
Re: Time of a candle

In theory, yes. Which marker you would like to use. Colored candle or a symbol
Re: Time of a candle

Hi Apprentice,
thanks for the quick response. I was thinking the same marker tool used here (MARKER.lua) :
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3963&hilit=marker
Symbol is preferred.
thanks

MeiniOz · Thu Oct 18, 2012 7:33 pm
I have taken the liberty to expand a bit on your code, Apprentice. Sorry nazaar, not what you were asking for
I changed it so that one can have any number of lines in a day (not just three). At the moment it is set to 24 but it can easily be changed to whatever is required, simply by modifying the number in the first line of the code using a text editor:
Code: Select all
local n_LP = 24A word of caution to the novice: the larger the number, the larger the menu will become, which, if very large, can have unpredictable effects.
Hope this is useful.
PS: I have also given it a different name.
Re: Time of a candle

Hi Apprentice, instead of drawing vertical lines at the specified times could you add the optionto draw a wingding arrow instead with the option to adjust arrow size?
I tried doing it myself but could not get it to work right.
was using this: “instance:createTextOutput (“Wingdings”, instance.parameters.ArrowSize, core.H_Center, core.V_Bottom, instance.parameters, 0);”

Can we please request another version of this type of indicator.
Minute Marker:
I would like a vertical line automatically plotted for a specific minute for every hour throughout the day.
I would like for example a vertical line plotted at 00:15 for every hour….8:15, 9:15, 10:15, etc.
Please allow user style preferences for color, thinckness and type of line.
Thanks,

Hi Apprentice,
Could you please add an option so that this indicator can draw lines based on lunar calendar? For example, the indicator can draw a vertical line at the beginning of each lunar month. Thanks a lot!
Best, xylary

Hi MeiniOz, could you add “TODAY” as an option in the DAY field and is it possible to set a set of N colors that should repeat each N+1 line ?
For ex: Color 1 for line 1 and color 2 for line 2 then color 1 once again for line 3 and color 2 for line 4 and so on…
Great job
Thanks very much

Hi Apprentice
I just need a very simple days of the week display that can be extended in time.. With just vertical lines that extend in the past and in the future.
So just time settings from a start time EST to a end time EST for the days. With option of weekends to be displayed..
Also line style, color and thickness to be adjustable.
Thanks
