what TF do u looking at

[Deleted]

I use throughout the day 5min, 10min, 15min and 1 hour chart, that inage is just from an e book I have but it was just to demonstrate what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks

Basically, the red line is what I am trying to achieve and the black line is what the indicator is currently doing :(

Thanks

look @ the daily chart (it's not supposed to be a daily HL)

[Deleted]

ah now I see :(

I think maybe I need to get a new indicator made? at the moment I manually adjust horizontal lines each time the price has made a new high or low for that particular day, I go of the close of the lowest or highest candle.

I am trying to automate this with that indicator.

Unless you have any ideas?

Sorry I am useless with coding :(

Thanks again

Hi again,

I came accross this indicator:

You could try using the fractal indicator to tell you the High and low points and then use the line draw through the close on a low and line draw through the open on a high.

The fractal indicator need not be displayed. I have only glanced at this discussion and not interested in going further sorry.

It does almost exactly what I require, but it using the full movement of the candle, I am only interested in the close of the candles to plot the lowest and highest price of the day. I need the indicator to disregard the shadow of the candle.

Thanks

Antony

i send u a PM

You only need to adjust what the fractal indicator code uses for its calculations. I will leave it to the capable mind of qjol
