Extended intraday data

[twannster]

1. I have extended intraday history enabled.
2. I have a time template of 1250 days on a basic advanced chart set to 5 minutes. The chart goes back exactly 1250 days and the built in moving averages work.
3. I loaded the prev open.efs and it only goes back about 300 days.

Below is the code of Formula/OHLC folder/Prev Open.efs with some debug code added. The text "Start" appears under the first bar of the chart and "x" appears under all the bars up until the study starts working.

Basically it seems that I am only getting 300 days of data for the open(inv("D")) Series Object even though the Time Template is set for 1250 days and the chart goes back 1250 days.


function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("Prev Open (PO) 2");
setCursorLabelName("PO");

setDefaultBarStyle(PS_SOLID);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue);
setDefaultBarThickness(2);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES);
}

var bInit = false;
var xOpen = null;

function main() {


if(isMonthly() || isWeekly() || isDaily())
return;

if(bInit == false){

xOpen = open(inv("D"));
bInit = true;
drawText("Start", BottomRow1);
}

var vOpen = xOpen.getValue(-1);
if(vOpen == null){
drawText("X", BottomRow2);
return;
}

return (vOpen);
}

The script seems to be working fine as you can see in the screenshot enclosed below
You may want to post an image of the Time Template you are using

Here is a image

How do I go about posting the image? I took a snapshot of the chart with the Time Template applied and it is saved as prevOpen.png.

image attached

I have attached a png file.

I am sorry if it is hard to see. Let me know if there is another way to share images.

Time Template image

Hopefully, I did this right and am attaching an image of the Time Template that I am using (called backtest).

Please let me know if this is what you wanted.

Re: Time Template image

The Time Template you are using does not include a definition for the Daily interval which means that this gets set to Dynamic ie it loads whatever number of bars are sufficient to fill in a chart or 300 bars by default [if less were to be required to fill the chart].
If you open a Daily chart for that symbol [using the same Time Template] and run a simple script to determine the date of the first bar you will see that it will coincide with where the plots of your script begin on your chart
The way to resolve this is to create a definition in the Time Template for the Daily interval and set it to load an equivalent [or higher] number of days as you are loading for intraday
Alternatively you can use a setIntervalsBackfill() statement in your preMain function (see the link for the description and syntax)
