start of day rectangle

New comment
 

I am trying to display a rectangle from the start of the day 0000 to the current candle.

How can I get start of the day into the Time[] section?


ObjectCreate("Rectangle",OBJ_RECTANGLE,0,Time[24],RectangleLow,Time[0],RectangleHigh);
ObjectSet("Rectangle",OBJPROP_SCALE,1.0);

ObjectSet("Rectangle",OBJPROP_COLOR,MistyRose);


Also, to repaint the rectangle every hour or evey tick, do I need to delete the rectangle and redraw it?

 

hi, no need to delete and redraw, just change the parameters.

OpenPrice is simply IOpen(Symbol(),Period_D1,0);

OpenTime should be somethink like Time[iBarsShift(Symbol(),Period(),iTime(Symbol(),Period_D1,0),false];


//z


edit: when using such draw operations a simple iTime(Symbol(),Period_D1,0) should also work.

 

The parameters are in the start section but the rectangle is not updated when a new hourly candle appears.

Any ideas?

 
jeah, objectCreate does one update values if the elemet is not exisitig. use ObjectSet() for price and time too
  
ObjectCreate("Rectangle",OBJ_RECTANGLE,0,Time[24],RectangleLow,Time[0],RectangleHigh);

Time[24] is 24 bars back, possibly not 24 hrs (on H1). 

datetime Day0000 = TimeCurrent() - TimeCurrent()%86400; // 24&60&60

ObjectCreate fails if the object already exists. Use this form:

/**/ if (ObjectMove(BORect, 0, T0, H1))
        ObjectMove(BORect, 1, T1, L1);
else if (!ObjectCreate( BORect, OBJ_RECTANGLE, WINDOW_MAIN
                     , T0, H1, T1, L1))                 Alert(
     "ObjectCreate(", BORect,",Rectangle) failed: ",
                                                GetLastError());
else if (!ObjectSet( BORect, OBJPROP_COLOR, Color.BO )) Alert(
        "ObjectSet(", BORect,",Color) [2] failed: ",
                                                GetLastError());
else if (!ObjectSet( BORect, OBJPROP_BACK, True ))      Alert(
        "ObjectSet(", BORect,",back) failed: ", GetLastError());

Hello SanMiguel:

This is an alternative: ObjectCreate("Rectangle", OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0,iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,1), priceH,iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,2), priceL);

Best Regards.

 
Hi，What is it for？
