Can EFS do this?

[coolmoss]

Here's what I want to do:

On a 60 minute chart, for the first bar of the day, write to a file, the high and low of that bar.

If possible, I'd also like to collect the day's high and low for that day.

So, a line written to the file would be...

first 60 min high, first 60 min low, day high, day low

I"m no coder, but if someone could give me a start that would be awesome. I don't even know if this is possible.

Thanks for all answers.

here is a darn good satrt...

var sTime=930;
var eTime=1000;
var trendHigh=0;
var trendLow=0;
var tag=0;
var doorbell=0;
var door = 0;
var end1=0;

function preMain(){

debugClear();

setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("RangeHandL");
setCursorLabelName("rangeH", 0);
setCursorLabelName("rangeL", 1);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_SOLID, 0);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_SOLID, 1);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.green, 0);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red, 1);
setDefaultBarThickness(3, 0);
setDefaultBarThickness(3, 1);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_SQUAREWAVE, 0);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_SQUAREWAVE, 1);

var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("sTime", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp1.setName("sTime"); fp1.setLowerLimit(0); fp1.setDefault(930);

var fp2 = new FunctionParameter("eTime", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp2.setName("eTime"); fp2.setLowerLimit(0); fp2.setDefault(1000);
}

function main(sTime, eTime){

mktTime=getHour()*100+getMinute()*1;

if(sTime==null) sTime=930;
if(eTime==null) eTime=1000;

if(mktTime*1==sTime*1){
tag=0;
trendHigh=open();
trendLow=open();
doorbell=0;
door=0;
end1 = 0;
}

if(mktTime>=sTime && mktTime < eTime){

if(high()>trendHigh)
trendHigh=high()

if(low()<trendLow)
trendLow=low()

setBarFgColor(Color.green, 0);
setBarFgColor(Color.red, 1);
setBarThickness(1, 0);
setBarThickness(1, 1);

}

return new Array(trendHigh, trendLow);
}

dloomis,

What can I say except thank you! I am green with envy over those of you who can code like wizards. I'm going to start playing with this for a few days. I hope it's ok if I can ask more later.

Regards,

Bob

of course it is ok to ask...

The code is pretty simple, you should be able to get the idea pretty quick

BTW, Dave is a wizard... don't believe him if he tells you otherwise
