not show historical plot

[rupe]

Hi,

Is there a way to not display, or not plot the historical data on a High-Low efs? Suppose I like to see high-low for current week only. I'm referring the High-Low efs made by the admirable Mr. Alex.

Here is one way of doing what you are trying to accomplish. This needs to be tested [in particular on a Saturday and Sunday] to see if it is working as intended.
As a first step create a global variable [ie outside of preMain() and main()] called for example firstBI and set it initially to null

var firstBI = null;
 
function main(){
    ... 

Then at the beginning of main() insert the following section of code (before the rest of your code)

function main(){
    if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_ALLBARS){
        var sysDate = new Date();
        if(sysDate.getDay()==0){
            var DOWdiff = 6;
        }else{
            var DOWdiff = sysDate.getDay()-1;
        }
        var firstDOW = parseInt((sysDate.getTime()/1000)-(DOWdiff*86400));
        firstBI = getFirstBarIndexOfDay(firstDOW);
    }
    if(getCurrentBarIndex()<firstBI) return;
 
    //rest of your code here 

Once you implement this change you should get the plots to display only from the beginning of the current week only.
As an example here is the result of the PivotPoint.efs modified using this logic.

Following up on the previous message here is a screenshot of the same chart taken on the next day with the plot still starting on the first day of the current week

After further testing on Saturday and Sunday the logic appears to be working correctly as shown in the first two screenshots enclosed below. The third screenshot taken today shows the plot now starting from the first bar of the new week.
