Plot RTH Open

[Harry]

I am trying to find/build an indicator that plots the opening RTH print. I don't need anything else, just a line that is automatically plotted on the opening print at 9am EST (CL pit open)

The opening range indicator plots

-> the regular open
-> the opening range based on a selectable interval
-> the night session range (pre-low and pre-high)

You can disable the plots not needed by setting them to "Transparent".

Alternatively you can use the SessionPivots indicator from the download section to plot the current regular open. However, this indicator requires the use of a session template, which subdivides the trading day into night session, regular session and evening session.

100% new to NT coding. Where/how do I enter that string of code?

Hello 1zach4,

Thank you for your response.

You can use the following for the print of the Open at 9 AM EST (if your PC is set to EST):

if(ToTime(Time[0]) == 90000)
{
DrawHorizontalLine("open", Open[0], Color.Blue);
}

For information on DrawHorizontalLine() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...zontalline.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks Patrick

I am trying to plot just the Open because when I try to backtest using the CurrentDayOHL, it does not use just the Open price, even when I set it to only use the Open

Hello 1zach4,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader customer support!

You can apply the RTH Session Template to your chart for the instrument you are using by right clicking in your chart > select Data Series > change the Session Template to the desired RTH Session Template > OK.

Then right click in your chart > select Indicators > select the CurrentDayOHL > set the High and Low to Transparent for the colors > OK.

This will plot the Open as a line on your chart for the the current day's RTH Open.

For information on Session Template please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...on_manager.htm

For information on working with indicators in your chart please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...indicators.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
