MC.NET previous day close

Postby mirek » 08 Jan 2013

Hi all,

I apologies for newbie question. I would like to get "Close of the previous day" (EL CloseD()) in MC.NET. Can you direct me to the correct code sample?

thank you
mirek

PS: Is this a proper way?

Code: Select all

double CloseD=0;

if (Bars.Time[0].Date != Bars.Time[1].Date) CloseD = Bars.Close[1];

Hello mirek,

The code you have provided will not do the same thing as EL CloseD function.
OpenD, HighD, LowD and CloseD functions would be added in one of the next versions of MultiCharts .Net.

Hi Henry,

thank you for the comment. I am using it only for CloseD of previous day and it seems the output is fine. I am aware that it does not fully replace the function CloseD with all possible history.

It would be nice to have full function in MC.NET.

So HighD and LowD do not reset at midnight in MultiCharts? If so, is there a way to track the high and low of the current session on 1 min charts since the start of the session, even if the session crosses over into a different calendar day?

Hello DPTrade,

HighD and LowD reset at midnight in MultiCharts. That is possible to create your own function that will do the calculations you need.

See attached example/indicator:

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using PowerLanguage.Function;

namespace PowerLanguage.Indicator
{
[SameAsSymbol(true)]
public class Example_HighLowCurrentDay : IndicatorObject
{
private IPlotObject dailyHigh, dailyLow;
private double highOfDay = 0, lowOfDay = 99999;

public Example_HighLowCurrentDay(object _ctx) : base(_ctx) { }

protected override void Create()
{
dailyHigh = AddPlot(new PlotAttributes("Daily High", EPlotShapes.Line, Color.ForestGreen));
dailyLow = AddPlot(new PlotAttributes("Daily Low", EPlotShapes.Line, Color.Firebrick));
}

protected override void CalcBar()
{
// At the start of a new session, reset variables
if (Bars.Status == EBarState.Close)
{
// To calculate the open time, subtract the bar resolution from the current
// bar closing time ** NOTE: only works on minute based charts **
TimeSpan openTime = Bars.TimeValue.TimeOfDay - TimeSpan.FromMinutes(Bars.Info.Resolution.Size);


if (openTime == Bars.Sessions[0].StartTime)
{
highOfDay = 0;
lowOfDay = 99999;
}
}

// Keep track of high/low of day
highOfDay = Math.Max(Bars.HighValue, highOfDay);
lowOfDay = Math.Min(Bars.LowValue, lowOfDay);

// Plot
dailyHigh.Set(highOfDay);
dailyLow.Set(lowOfDay);
}
}
}

Thank you Josh, I am a big fan your website and looking at your examples to build my indicators. Would you be able to suggest if I want to show the previous day high/Low close on scanner irrespective of the resolution whether it is a day or a minute chart. Easylanguage functions HighD and LowD does the same thing on any scanner or chart resolution.

If anybody wondering how to get range for previous day on a scanner.

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using PowerLanguage.Function;

namespace PowerLanguage.Indicator
{
[SameAsSymbol(true)]
[UpdateOnEveryTick(true)]
[SkipIdenticalTicks(false)]
public class AG_Volume_Profile : IndicatorObject
{
public AG_Volume_Profile(object _ctx):base(_ctx)
{
}
private IPlotObject PreviousRange;

protected override void Create()
{
PreviousRange = AddPlot(new PlotAttributes("PrevRange", EPlotShapes.Point,Color.Yellow, Color.Empty, 4,0,true));

}
protected override void StartCalc()
{
ExecInfo.MaxBarsBack = 3;
}
protected override void CalcBar()
{
PreviousRange.Set(Bars.High[1] - Bars.Low[1]);

}

}
}
