highest high / lowest low of first hour of trading

[velocity]

I am trying to post the highest high and lowest low of the 1st hour of trading the ES. Any thoughts as to where I went wrong would be appreciated.

thanks.

value1 == ToTime(Time[0]) >= 93000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 103000;
value2 == ToTime(Time[0]) >= 93000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 103000;

High = Math.Max(value1, value2);
Low = Math.Min(value1, value2);

Plot0.Set(High);
Plot1.Set(Low);
}

Appreciate your post Josh, However those examples are based on "bars" not "time".

Does NT have the capability of "time referrence" for example: only calculate an indicator between the time referrenced?

any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

thanks

Not sure I follow. Bars are time stamped. You can calculate time via the bars. If you are hoping for time intervals that is not the same interval as your bars I suggest you change your chart to reflect the time interval you want thus have corresponding bars. If this is not what you want then you can try checking out the reference sample about custom timer events.

Can NT only calculate an indicator between certain times. For example 9:30 to 10:30? How would I do this.

In searching your database of posts I see several individuals who have asked the same thing as I am asking. However, there is no post with an answer.

I also use Neoticker and Market Delta Software. I programed the Highest High and Lowest Low in the 1st hour of trading less than 5 minutes. So I am wondering why this simple task is so difficult in NT?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks.

Unfortunately this is not supported. Indicators are calculated for all bars on a chart. You can try to set your chart session begin/end values accordingly though.

thank you for responding. Perhaps this is something that can be incorporated in future releases.

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list of future considerations.
