Dear Forum,

I kindly enlist your expertise in solving a programming issue with me. Programming is not my forte but I tried to use examples out of the forum, the Metastock formula help file and the internet to come up with the following formula. It unfortunately does not plot correctly and I am at a lost as to where to start to look. What I have been requested to do is the following:
* Indicator to plot in its own window
* 60 minute chart as basis
* Two close/open/high/low positions of different specific times. For example 10h00 and 19h00.
* Subtract these two close/open/high/low positions from each other and plot this value as an indicator.

Any suggestions as to my efforts below would be highly appreciated.

{ Time Inputs }
StHour:=Input("start Hour",0,23,6);
StMin:=Input("start Minute",0,59,0);
EnHour:=Input("last Hour",0,23,9);
EnMin:=Input("last Minute",0,59,0);
x:=Input("use Open=1 High=2 Low=3 Close=4 Volume=5 P=6",1,6,4);


{ Time period }
start:=Hour()>StHour
OR Hour()=StHour AND Minute()>=StMin;
end:=Hour()<EnHour
OR Hour()=EnHour AND Minute()<=EnMin;
filter:=
start AND (end OR (start AND Alert(start=0,2)));

{ Start/End time signals }
start:=filter AND Alert(filter=0,2) AND x;
end:=filter=0 AND Alert(filter,2) AND x;

{ Plot in own window }
start-end

Many thanks in advance,
Magda

Hi Magda,

I assume you have the PRO version of MS as you are dealing with intraday data?

The other aspect is to use the ValueWhen() function to determine the required price at the start of the period and the end of the period.


Hope this helps.
