Condtions after 10:00 Bar????

[PATRADER]

I am having problems on how to approach this. I have been looking for days on how to do this and come up empty.

I have a line drawn at the open of bar at 11:00 now. This line draws a straight line from the open of it to the y axis.

All I want to do is make a condition that if the high(0) of any other bar after the 11:00 bars open must be greater......so basically anything under this line is not alerted or in condition (even if it passes the rest of the conditions)

high(0) > 10:00 open then action

I have some other basic conditions.

I want to ignore the rest of the conditions before 11:00. Mychart starts at 9:30 right now so the conditions before 11:00 are okay and do not need to be changed

Hi PATRADER,

Try this:

//set four global variables outside main and premain
var flag11 = false;
var hour1 = null;
var open11 = null;
var condition1 = false;

 
 // the rest is in main
 var nHour = hour(0);

 // setting up your 11 o'clock conditional
 if(nHour!=hour1){
  if(nHour==11 && !flag11){
   flag11 = true;
   open11 = open(0);
  }
  else if(nHour<11 || nHour==16){ // set flag to false before 11 and when it is 4PM
   flag11 = false;
   condition1 = false;
  }
  hour1 = nHour;
 }
 
 // testing your conditional
 if(flag11 && high(0)>open11){
  condition1 = true;
 } 

I hope this helps.

Not working right

I couldnt get it to work....could you look at the basic code.....I am at work and making up a script to try it on.

for some reason it wont let me paste the code in the PHP?????only the first line???

Your script is not working because some variables (eg flag10, hour1, etc) are declared in preMain - hence available to that function only - instead of being declared globally

The PHP button allows to add a single line of code only.
If the block of code is more than one line you need to paste it in the body of your message and enclose it with a [p h p] at the beginning and a [/ p h p] at the end of the block of code (in both cases without the extra spaces used in the example)
