That code may give values, but it does not give correct values.

Please see my earlier posts

Hi Gumrai, I compiled your code plus Qjol magic code I attached here. Without the qjol code the shape of the plot is like a number 7 but adding qjol code it behave better. The value as you can see in the image dropped to -1. The plot has the same shape as the previous image here but different value. Please advise how to improve this. Thanks.

Hi GumRai,

Please advise how best we can improve this. Thanks.

Looks like you have already implemented my suggestions.

The indi line falls to zero because the buffer[0] is not calculated in the code. You have to decide whether you want this value to start at 0 and increase as the day goes on or maybe just make buffer[0] == buffer[1], which would make it look tidier.

Thank you WHRoeder, qjol and GumRai for the big help coding my indicator.

Hi GumRai, How can I code to start at 0 and increase as the day progress? Please help. Thanks.

I've made some changes to your code



int start()                         // Special function start()
  {
  
  
  int  i, iCht, Counted_bars, limit, iD1, iM1Beg, iM1End, counter ; 
  datetime daystarttime, nextday ;   
  double hM1, lM1, openD1 ; 
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
  Counted_bars=IndicatorCounted(); // Number of counted bars
  limit = Bars - 1 - Counted_bars;
  if(limit > Bars-100)   
      limit = Bars-100;
  for(iCht = limit; iCht >= 0; iCht--){ // Chart bars
      iD1 = iBarShift(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, Time[iCht]); //---Barshift on daily chart
      daystarttime = iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,iD1); //--Find datetime value for start of the day      
      openD1 = iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, iD1);
      
      //----find BarShift of daystarttime on current chart and take the nearest following bar if it doesn't exist
      iM1Beg = iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_M1,daystarttime,true);
      if(iM1Beg<0)
         iM1Beg = iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_M1,daystarttime,false)+1;
      
      //----find BarShift for end of day on current chart and take the nearest following bar if it doesn't exist
      if(iD1>0)  //-- Change to iD1>=0 to show running total for the current day
         {
         nextday = iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,iD1-1);
         iM1End = iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_M1,nextday-1,true);
         if(iM1End<0)         
            iM1End = iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_M1,nextday,false);
       
         counter = 0;
         for(i= iM1Beg; i >= iM1End; i--){
            hM1 = iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_M1, i);
            lM1 =  iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_M1, i);
            // count Bars of M1 Period that crisscross Open price of D1 Period 
            if( hM1 >= openD1 && openD1 >= lM1)
               counter++ ;
         }
         Buf_0[iCht] = counter; 
         }
         }

This should do what you want

As it is it will not give a value for today

If you make the change as in the highlighted text, it should then include a value for today that will start at 0 and increase as the day progress

Why the plot is incomplete here. It is not filling before Jan 2014. Please advise the problem. This chart was done using WHRoeder code but even the one proposed by GumRai also gives the same discontinued plot.

because u dont have M1 data before that date
