Draw box around high and low...

[ProV356]

Hello everyone, I am looking fior an indicator that would draw a box around the high and low of the time frame that I select. Basically, it would do exactly what the rectangle properties data options would do, but of course I want the indicator to automatically plot the rectangle around the high and low at the particular time frame everday, for an example between 2-3 pm daily.

I have no experience or knowledge on how to write the script for this, even though in my mind it seems like it is relatively simple. So if there is a script that can be modified, I would need the "scripting for dummies" insturction on what and how to do it. I imagine the first steps would be "go to tools, select new/edit Ninjascript, select Indicator..."

Otherwise, if someone doesn't mind writing it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance & God Bless

Hello ProV356,

Thank you for your post.

You could use the following:

			if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
				recTag++;
			
			DrawRectangle(recTag.ToString(), true, new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 14, 0, 0), Low[Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 14, 0, 0))], new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 15, 0, 0), High[Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 15, 0, 0))], Color.Blue, Color.Blue, 10);
