Getting the highs and lows of current session, RTH and AH

[DogEars]

Hi,

I'm attempting to acquire the high and low of the day and use those data points as a variable to take action from. I came across a post with a sample and this is working fine for the high, but is way off for the low. The low of the day right now is 3808 and it is showing 3657 so it's got to be going all the way back to Sunday open for that. The instrument I'm using is /MES.

//return high and low of RTH session
if (regularTradingHours)
{
if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession)
{
Print("Calculating trading day for " + Time[0]);
// use the current bar time to calculate the next session
sessionIterator.GetNextSession(Time[0], true);

// store the desired session information
beginTime = sessionIterator.ActualSessionBegin;
}

var startBarsAgo = Bars.GetBar(beginTime);
Print("startBarsAgo = " + startBarsAgo);
double highestHigh = MAX(High, CurrentBar - startBarsAgo + 1)[0];

// Now that we have the start and end bars ago values for the specified time range we can calculate the lowest low for this range
var lowestLow = MIN(Low, CurrentBar - startBarsAgo + 1)[0];
// Set the plot values
HighestHigh[0] = highestHigh;
LowestLow[0] = lowestLow;
Draw.TextFixed(this, "highLowText", HighestHigh[0] + " High | " + LowestLow[0] + " Low", TextPosition.TopLeft);

HighestHigh[0] = HighestHigh[1];
LowestLow[0] = LowestLow[1];
}

So this kind of works, but something is off here and it doesn't work during AH.

Hoping for some guidance or a working example as I'm having a difficult time figuring this one out.


Thanks!

Hello DogEars, thanks for your post.

The CurrentDatOHL indicator will provide daily OHL for the bar series you give to it. The primary series of the script can be the ETH template and you can add an RTH data series using this AddDataSeries overload:
AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, string tradingHoursName)

You can then set up two CurrentDayOHL indicators in the script. One will take the primary series and the other will take the secondary series e.g.
CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[0]);
CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]);

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Thanks, I missed that one. I'll check it out and see how it goes.
