Previous Day High-low.efs

[Pogman]

Hello

I have modified this previous day high low to show only yesterdays high/low bar after configuring it.

How can I extend the "plotlines" out 3-5 digits to the right so that a solid line projects to the right. On a minute chart the lines will extend to the right as a new bar is formed. However, on a daily chart it stays just for that day. Can this be done??

Any tips?

TIA

You can do that using the drawLineRelative() function (see the link to the EFS KnowledgeBase article for the complete syntax of the function)
You can find a complete example in this thread. In your case you would simply need to substitute the y1 and y2 parameters with nHigh [for the line at the High) and with nLow [for the line at the Low)

Thanks for your help Alex.

I found another efs that I have attached. it is the PreviousDayDailyBars found in the formula folder.

Does anyone know if this one be refigured to do Daily, Weekly lines or is there another efs that already does the Previous Day OHLC and plots it on the DAILY? I have searched the forums and cannot find an OHLC for the Daily efs.

Thanks again.

With regards to the formula you posted you can change the following sections of code to adapt it to your needs

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

This section checks if the interval of the chart is Daily or Weekly or Monthly and if any one condition evaluates to true it stops the script from running any further. You can remove any one (or all) of those conditions as needed.
Once you have done that to change the external interval that is being referenced by the script replace the "D" in each of the following

xOpen  = open(inv("D"));
xHigh  = high(inv("D"));
xLow   = low(inv("D"));
xClose = close(inv("D")); 

with either "W" for Weekly or "M" for Monthly.
You can also use as examples the w_PivotPointAll.efs and m_PivotPointAll.efs scripts in the Pivots folder which are specific for Weekly and Monthly pivots.

HI Alex

Thanks for the tips. It worked. I have attached it for anyone who wants it. Sorry about posting a new thread with the old one but I thought they were close .

One other question on the attached efs.


In the image I get multiple OHLC bars. If I scroll an advanced chart to show more data the efs will automatically switch to all bars. If I leave everything and touch nothing the efs works perfectly. How can I anchor it only to the previous last bar on the daily so that it works all the time???

Thanks

Add the following line of code

if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_ALLBARS) bCurrentDay = false; 

as the first line of the main function and it should solve your problem.
