help drawing this rectangle

New comment

Hi Everyone,


Please help me draw this. This is intended for my EA and not as an indicator. Not sure why it is not drawing.. I just want for there to be a box which starts at hour 1 of the day and ends at hour 5. LineA and LineB will be the high and low of the first 5 hours of the day.


Thanks in advance!


extern int StartHours = 6;

void start();
      {
         if(iVolume(NULL,PERIOD_H1,0)>1) return;
         if(Hour() == 0)LineA = 0;
         if(Hour() == 0)LineB = 500;
         if(Hour() <= StartHours && Hour() > 1 && iHigh(NULL, 0, 1) > LineA) LineA =iHigh(NULL, 0, 1);
         if(Hour() <= StartHours && Hour() > 1 && iLow(NULL, 0, 1) < LineB)LineB = iLow(NULL,0,1);
         if(Hour() == 1) {dtTimeBegin = TimeCurrent(); dtTimeObjEnd = TimeCurrent(); }
         if(Hour() <= StartHours && Hour() > 1)dtTimeObjEnd = TimeCurrent() ;

Draw();
      }

void Draw()
{

if(Hour() <=StartHours && Hour() != 0) return;
if(TimeCurrent() < dtTimeBegin)dtTimeBegin = TimeCurrent();
if(TimeCurrent() > dtTimeObjEnd)dtTimeObjEnd = TimeCurrent();

ObjectCreate(DayOfYear(), OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
ObjectSet(DayOfYear(), LineA , dtTimeBegin);
ObjectSet(DayOfYear(), LineB , dtTimeObjEnd);   
}

Someone please help :)

try this

extern string ScanStartTime = "01:00";
extern string   ScanEndTime = "05:00";
extern color       BoxColor = Yellow;

#define BOX "heyarnBox"

void deinit() {
  ObjectDelete(BOX);
}

void start() {
  datetime t         = TimeCurrent(),
           tBoxLeft  = StrToTime(TimeToStr(t, TIME_DATE) + " " + ScanStartTime),
           tBoxRight = StrToTime(TimeToStr(t, TIME_DATE) + " " + ScanEndTime);
  if(tBoxRight < tBoxLeft) tBoxRight+=PERIOD_D1*60;
  int iBoxLeft  = iBarShift(NULL, 0, tBoxLeft,  true) + 1,
      iBoxRight = iBarShift(NULL, 0, tBoxRight, true);
  if(iBoxRight == -1) iBoxRight = iBarShift(NULL, 0, Time[0]);
  double dBoxTop = High[iHighest(NULL, 0, MODE_HIGH, iBoxLeft-iBoxRight, iBoxRight)],
         dBoxLow = Low [iLowest (NULL, 0, MODE_LOW , iBoxLeft-iBoxRight, iBoxRight)];

  ObjectDelete(BOX);
  if((t > tBoxLeft) && (t < tBoxRight)) {  
    ObjectCreate(BOX, OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0, tBoxLeft, dBoxTop, tBoxRight, dBoxLow);
    ObjectSet(BOX, OBJPROP_COLOR, BoxColor);
    ObjectSet(BOX, OBJPROP_BACK, false);
  }
}
