Price at a specific time

[BerkoBob]

Hi,

Each day I need to know the closing price at 2:30PM YESTERDAY to use in my EFS. Is this possible?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi Bob,
try this.
Massimo

var nCloseDay1=null, nCloseDay0=null;
function main() {
if (getCurrentBarIndex() != 0) { // Are historical bars
if (getDay(0) != getDay(-1)) { // Is the first bar of a new day
nCloseDay1=nCloseDay0;
}
if (getHour(0) == 14 && getMinute(0) == 30-getInterval(0)) { // Is your 2.30pm-inv bar
nCloseDay0=close(0);
}
debugPrintln("Inv: "+getInterval()+" H: "+getHour(0)+" M: "+getMinute(0)+" - Close 2.30 pm yesterday : "+nCloseDay1);
// nCloseDay1 is your value !!!
}
}

FWIW, just a minor correction:

replace:

        if (getHour(0) == 14 && getMinute(0) == 30 - getInterval()) { // Is your 2.30pm-inv bar 

which gives the close of the previous bar, with:

        if (getHour(0) == 14 && getMinute(0) == 30){ // Is your 2.30pm-inv bar 

or just remove the " - getInterval()" which changes the minute comparison value by the interval (in essence it refers to the previous bar).

Sorry waynecd,
I don't agree !!!
We need close of 2.30pm, not of the bar that starts at 2.30pm.

Hi maxmax68,

You are right, the close at 2:30 is the previous bars close instead of that for the 2:30 bar which starts at 2:30 and ends one interval later.
