The previous day's one-minute decision

[ラリー]

Thank you for your reply.

I have added a time condition and applied it on the chart but nothing shows up.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello ラリー,

If noting is showing up this would be a good point to use Prints to see if the conditions are true or what is happening in the logic.

I can say that you have only added 1 part of the time condition to each of the conditions. We had already covered this previously. If you wanted to check the prices once at a specific time you need a start time and an end time as a condition. In what you provided most recently you only have 1 time per condition meaning its not a span of time. You can see an example of creating a span of time in the help guide sample, the first sample shows using a start time and end time. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ightsub=totime

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to confirm that I may be confused, but am I correct that the latest screenshots I posted show lines 69, 79 and 84 as the ones that need to be corrected?

Hello ラリー,

Just 79 and 84 are the conditions which set the plot to -1 or 1. I didn't catch that when I looked yesterday, line 69 does not need to change from the original example. You have disabled the logic again by making other changes from what was posted in post Forum

Thank you for your reply.

So am I correct in understanding that I only need to modify lines 79 and 84 in the latest screenshot?

Hello ラリー,

Yes in addition to reverting back to what was shown in post 2, line 69 in the last image is not correct. you don't need to reset back to 0.

Thank you for your reply.

Yes in addition to reverting back to what was shown in post 2, line 69 in the last image is not correct. you don't need to reset back to 0.

I have changed to the code you gave me in post 2.

The last 69 lines are incorrect and you say it does not need to be reset to 0. Does 0 mean Time[0]?

Hello ラリー,

There seems to be a communication problem happening here. You have changed the wrong lines.

Please do the following:

Delete that script
Start a new indicator so it has had no changes
Copy the code from post 2 and paste it over the existing OnBarUpdate. It should look like the image that I had attached.
Edit lines 65 and 69 to have the time conditions that you wanted. You can find examples of creating a window of time here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ightsub=totime

[ラリー]

Thank you for your reply.

I copied and pasted the code in post 2.

I also edited lines 65 and 69 as shown in the attached image, applied it to the chart again and ran it, but the calculation was applied to all legs.
I only wanted to apply the calculation to the first leg of the session that started, what did I do wrong?

Hello ラリー,

It looks like you added only 1 time condition per condition, you need two time conditions to make a span of time.

If you look at the help guide sample it shows you how to use two time conditions to make a span of time which is what you need. You need to check between two times to know a certain time.

[ラリー]

Thank you for your reply.

I referred to the sample in the help guide, made the edits to the code as attached, and it seems I ended up with a different result than what I was expecting.

I am aware that the if(Close[0] < Open[0]) comparison on line 65 outputs a value of -1 if the closing price of the first leg is lower than the opening price of that leg, and the else if(Close[0] > Open[0]) on line 69 outputs a value of 1 if the closing price of the first leg is higher than the opening price. I expected the result to output a value of 1 if the close of the first leg was higher than the open, but the opposite value was output.
Why is this?

[NinjaTrader_Jesse]

Hello ラリー,

You are using two different spans of time for the conditions so they happen at different points during the day. If you wanted to check if the bar is up or down for a certain time then both spans of time should be the same values so you are getting values from the same bar.

[ラリー]

Thank you for your reply.

I ran line 69 on the same time span as line 65, but as well, the first leg is showing as 1 on the data box.

I understand that the condition of the if statement in line 69 is that if the closing price of the first leg is higher than the opening price of that leg, then the number 1 should be displayed in My plot 2.
Am I correct in that understanding?
If so, I thought that the -1 value of the if statement condition in line 65 would be displayed in My plot 2 because the close of the 9:24 leg (the first leg of the close) is lower than the opening price of the first leg.

Hello ラリー,

I believe there is some confusion about the sample that I provided in post 2. If you go back to post 1 and your original question:

I would like to determine whether the first 1 minute leg of the previous day was positive or negativeI would like to determine whether the first 1 minute leg of the previous day was positive or negative

That is what the logic from post 2 is doing. By using 12:30 as the end time for the time condition the previous day's positive or negative plot would be based on the previous days 12:30 bar values. What you are pointing to in the image is the current day after what appears to be a session break. You would need to scroll back and find the 12:30 bar to check its Open and Close values because that is the time condition you created.

If you are trying to check for a specific time you don't need such a large span of time. You could use as small of a time as 1 minute intervals because you are using a 1 minute chart.

[ラリー]

Thank you for your reply.

My apologies.
There may have been a problem with the way I communicated this to you.

I would like to cover the 1 minute leg of the previous day's opening price when the first close occurs. For example, if the opening price occurs during the morning session, I would like to cover only the morning session, not the afternoon session, and if the opening price does not occur during the morning session but occurs during the afternoon session, I would like to cover the afternoon session. If the opening price did not occur during the morning session and the opening price occurred during the afternoon session, we want to include the afternoon session.
