Object Series

[charley]

Hi!

I am using the following basic formula to display the close of the previous day and the current days close after the first 15 min. The lines are displaying accurately, but I have 2 questions:

1- When I try to retrieve the Day2 values, it only returns 'object series', even though the lines are printed at the correct values. I cannot figure out what 'object series' means?

2- The efs displays the correct line values on every time frame that is 15 min. or less, but fails if it is used on time frames greater then 15 min?

Thanks, Charley

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Opening Range");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
    setShowTitleParameters(false);
} 
function main() {
    
var nID = getCurrentBarCount();
var startTime = 630;
var barTime = (hour(0) * 100) + minute(0);
var Int15 = (inv("15"));
var vClose = close(Int15);    
    
    if (barTime == startTime) {
    
        Day1 = close(-1);
        Day2 = vClose;    
    
        drawLineRelative(0, Day1, 77, Day1, PS_DOT, 1, Color.blue, "C1" + nID);
        drawLineRelative(0, Day2, 77, Day2, PS_DOT, 1, Color.red, "C2" + nID);
        
     var retArray = new Array(4);
    
    retArray[0] = Day1;     debugPrintln(retArray[0]);
    retArray[1] = Day2;     debugPrintln(retArray[1]);
    }    
}

Search the forum (preferably using Google) for the keywords "object series" and you will find that the topic has been covered before
Regarding the second issue that is because with those other intervals you do not have a bar time stamped as per the condition. Again search the forum as there are many threads (complete with formulas or examples) on "opening range" or similar topic

Thank you for your help Alex!

I think I almost figured it out, but I have one more problem. The array is populating with the correct values, but when I try to extract the next to last value with the following efs, myRef1 is null?

Thanks, Charley

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Opening Range");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
    setShowTitleParameters(false);
}
var BarCntr = 0;

function main() {
    
var nState = getBarState();    
var nID = getCurrentBarCount();
var startTime = 630;
var barTime = (hour(0) * 100) + minute(0);
var Int15 = (inv("15"));
var vClose = close(Int15);

    if (nState == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
        BarCntr += 1;
    }    
    if (barTime == startTime) {
    
        Day2 = vClose.getValue(0);    
    
            drawLineRelative(0, Day2, +25, Day2, PS_DOT, 1, Color.red, "L" + nID);
        
    var retArray = new Array(1);

    retArray[0] = vClose.getValue(0);   debugPrintln(retArray[0]);
    }
    if (BarCntr > 3) {
        var myRef1 = ref(-1);
        var Close1 = myRef1 [0];        debugPrintln(Close1); 
    }
}

I changed the BarCntr statement to if (BarCntr > 300), and am no longer getting the null error. But I still cannot extract the array objects. Thanks

Your script is not returning anything hence ref() will not work as it only references values that are returned
