Previous days 9pm open

New comment
 

Hi guys

has anyone come across an indicator that draws a histogram of either red or green buffers if price is above or below the previous days 9pm open price?

You have only four choices:

  1. Search for it (CodeBase or Market). Do you expect us to do your research for you?

  2. Beg at:

  3. MT4: Learn to code it.
    MT5: Begin learning to code it.

    If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into your code.

  4. or pay (Freelance) someone to code it. Top of every page is the link Freelance.

We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

iv managed to do it with a histogram, although a rudimentary way. I have attached if anyone else may need it.

your code can show different on different TFs........

old one -- just line on chart to see higher or lower (no colors) - but you can enter extern any time you need... or adopt for yourself
