Prior Day High/Low Indicator Needed - OEC

Recommended Posts

I use OEC and am in need of an indicator that just tracks the prior day's high and low. Does anyone have such an indicator in EL that would compile in OEC?

 

There is an indicator for the current day High/low but not the prior day (see pic below for what the current day settings look like).

Inputs:

_Time_Open(1800),

Color_PDH(Red),Color_PDL(Green);

 

vars:PDH(0),PDL(0),YestHi(0),YestLo(0),start(false);

 

 

if time < _Time_open then Start = true;

If Time >= _Time_open and Start = true then begin

PDH = High;

PDL = Low;

YestHi = PDH[1];

YestLo = PDL[1];

Start = false;

end;

 

If High > PDH then PDH = High;

If Low < PDL then PDL = Low;

 

 

plot1(yesthi,"PH",color_pdh);

plot2(yestlo,"PL",color_pdl);

 

This will plot from globex open to globex close

Just set the time and line colors.

 

This looks pretty good except I can't tell it when the close is. I only want to have it draw the high and low for the pit hours of oil, not open to next day open. Is there a way I can add a close time into the code. I pasted the code below. Thanks.

 

Inputs:Time_Start(0630);

 

variables:

var0( 0 ),

var1( 0 ),

var2( 0 ),

var3( 0 ),

var4( 0 ),

var5( 0 ),

var6( 0 ),

var7( 0 ),

var8( 0 ) ;

 

if Date <> Date[1] then begin

 

var0 = var0 + 1 ;

var1 = var2 ;

var3 = var4 ;

var5 = var6 ;

var7 = Close[1] ;

var2 = Open ;

var4 = High ;

var6 = Low ;

end

else

begin

if High > var4 then

var4 = High ;

if Low < var6 then

var6 = Low ;

end ;

condition1 = var0 >= 2 and BarType < 3 ;

if condition1 then

 

begin

Plot1( var1, "YestOpen" ) ;

Plot2( var3, "YestHigh" ) ;

Plot3( var5, "YestLow" ) ;

Plot4( var7, "YestClose" ) ;

end ;

It is working here; I don’t trade GCL so I just assume that’s what you want.

The setting will be:

Set current profile time zone to UTC-6

Set GCLU0 session to 9:30AM-4:00PM , chart style "candlestick". (OHLCyerterday must have this GCLU0 as input)

Install ‘OHLCyesterday’, time 0930, high and low colors , line type “point”. If you don’t want yesterday open and close set to transparent.

 

If you want to print the overnight chart for continuation patterns,

insert /add symbol/GCLU)/overlay/right axis. set chart style to OHLC bar.

Set the time for that new overlay in order to cover the time out of the cash: 6:00PM-8:30AM.

I see what you are saying but I am hoping to not adjust my charts to the indicator but instead adjust the indicator to my charts. Does that make sense. I already have more than one overlay on my charts and I need them to stay at 24 hours. Of course I don't know how to code so I am hoping someone knows how to add the time close attribute.

I tried adding the bold section below but didn't seem to work. I can't tell where the code is referencing the Time_Start so I can add a condition that it needs to be less than or equal to a Time_End input.

 

Inputs:Time_Start(0630), Time_End (1130);

 

variables:

var0( 0 ),

var1( 0 ),

var2( 0 ),

if Date <> Date[1] and Time > Time_Start and Time <= Time_End then begin

 

var0 = var0 + 1 ;

var1 = var2 ;

var3 = var4 ;

var5 = var6 ;

var7 = Close[1] ;

var2 = Open ;

var4 = High ;

var6 = Low ;

end

else

begin

if High > var4 then

var4 = High ;

if Low < var6 then

var6 = Low ;

end ;

condition1 = var0 >= 2 and BarType < 3 ;

if condition1 then

 

begin

Plot1( var1, "YestOpen" ) ;

Plot2( var3, "YestHigh" ) ;

Plot3( var5, "YestLow" ) ;

Plot4( var7, "YestClose" ) ;

end ;

Hi...

 

//Just try with higd[1] and lowd[1] , which indicates previous days high and lowd...

 

Var : Prevhigh(0), PreLow(0);

 

Prevhigh = Highd[1];

Prevlow = Lowd[1];

 

if High > Prevhigh then plot1(High," FindtrendNeg",Yellow);

If Low < Prelow then Plot2(Low,"FindtrendPos,"red);

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
