curetn day low

[ct]

I am trying to get the current low of day using - High = CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[0];
or current low - Low = CurrentDayOHL().CurrentLow[0]; using a 15 minute chart.

I am having an issue because it is picking up the low or high of the previous day at 12:00 when the low and high is reset. One a lower low or higher high is established for the day it is fine.

What is my workaround to this issue?

Use a session template that matches the hours for which you want to see the DayHigh/DayLow.

Hello CT,

It will use your session template boundaries to determine if it should start creating new highs and lows. This is a built in indicator, so it may be worthwhile to just apply it to your chart and see how it works. You should see something like the attached screenshot.

Thanks. what should I use as a time range?

I would use a session template for the times you're looking to display. You can select a session template by right clicking on chart > Data Series.
RTH is short for Regular Trading Hours (Day session only)
ETH is short for Electronic Trading Hours. (Day + overnight).

You can see exactly how the session templates are defined using Tools > Session Manager.

I was using 24-7. i even created a custom using 12:01 to 12:01. It didn't help.

If you don't want it to reset at 12:00, use a different session template. I may be misunderstanding the issue. Can you please attach a screenshot of your chart, indicate the session template you're using, and let us know what you're expecting the chart to look like.

can I email the strategy to you. it is pretty simple.

We first need to work through general indicator usage here before looking at any code. It's not yet clear what you are expecting out of CurrentDayOHL. Please try just plotting the indicator and attaching a screenshot of any chart you don't understand.

No issue.

code snippet:
LastHigh = CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[0];
LastLow = CurrentDayOHL().CurrentLow[0];
if (lastDayOnly)
{
DrawFibonacciRetracements("My fibonacci retracements ", false,CurrentBar - LowBar, LastLow,CurrentBar - HighBar, LastHigh);
}
else
{
DrawFibonacciRetracements("My fibonacci retracements " + BarDate, false,CurrentBar - LowBar, LastLow,CurrentBar - HighBar, LastHigh);
}

It looks like the indicator is working fine, and code accessed values should work the same. Unfortunately we cannot debug this code snippet for you but it looks like you may be drawing this fib object on the last bar of the previous session.

You will need to simplify the custom elements until it works as you expect. Attached is a basic script that draws the values for these indicators, and they should be correct for the current day.
