Time vertical lines

[NYSE]

Hello ACM,

I would be so grateful if you could help me with revised version of this efs Im clueless with coding and very badly want to plot thinnest dotted vertical time lines in main chart area:

PreMarket 400 color blue
Open 930 color yellow
TradeWindow1 935 color grey
Tradewindow2 940 color grey
Tradewindow3 1130 color grey
Close 1600 color red

Happy to pay for the help

As I also told you in my reply to your Private Message on this same topic I do not do custom programming
If you are in need of custom programming you may want to contact one of the EFS Consultants listed in the EFS KnowledgeBase

Your request promted me to code this for my own use. BTW I'm not a programmer. Anyway here it is in case you can use it:

//debugClear();

 function preMain() {

    var aFPArray = new Array();
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Time Lines");
    var timeArr = [400,530,735,1030,1130,1600];
    var lineClr = [Color.green,Color.magenta,Color.brown,Color.black,Color.blue,Color.red];
    var lineThick = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
    var x=0, y=0, i=0;
    for(i = 0; i < timeArr.length; i++){
        y="time"+i;
        aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter(y, FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
        with(aFPArray[x++]){
            setLowerLimit(1);
            setDefault(timeArr[i]);
        }

Thank you very much for the work you did for me very much appreciated!

However, I am unable to edit the study title, currently it is very long (see attached image). I actually needed 7 time lines >> (default values set to): 800, 930, 935, 940, 1030, 1115, 1600 (Colors, grey, white, aqua, aqua, dark grey, dark grey, navy. Line thickness 1

I am unable to edit the study title

See menu item "displayParam".

I actually needed 7 time lines

Added one more line.

Note: any line color set to match the chart background color won't display on the chart, i.e. white line on white chart background.

In the future you can change defaults yourself by modifying the 3 arrays on code lines 8, 9, 10. Just make sure you keep the same code structure of surrounging each array with []; and separating each array element with a comma as you can see in the code. Also keep 7 elements in each array. The timeArr must be numbers only in 24 hour time format with no delimiters like ":" or text. The lineClr array must contain correct esignal color names found in the EFS Glossary (do a search for "colors" in the knowledge base). The lineThick array must only contain numbers and nothing else.

Last the lowest number in the lineThick array must be 1.

Ref: your PM request to name the script "Vertical.q3 Time Plots":

On line 7 of the script from replace "Time Lines" in
setStudyTitle("TimeLines");
with the name you prefer.
