Hi,

does anybody know how to code how to get the time of the previous hour Highs and lows and store the time in a variable.

What is the time frame of the bars? Hourly? If so then it is just High[1] or Low[1]

When you say previous hours H/L's do you mean the last sixty minutes ie it is now 9:17, do you mean the Highest High between now and 8:17 or do you mean between 8:00 and 9:00?

Assuming that you want the previous hour like 8:00 to 9:00, here is the code and a screenshot.

Code

Variables: Minutes (0), ThisHourHigh (High), ThisHourLow (Low), ThisHourTimeH (0), ThisHourTimeL (0), PrevHourHigh (High), PrevHourLow (Low), PrevHourTimeH (0), PrevHourTimeL (0); Minutes = MinutesFromDateTime ( ELTimeToDateTime ( Time ) ) ; If Minutes = 0 then begin PrevHourHigh = ThisHourHigh ; PrevHourTimeH = ThisHourTimeH ; PrevHourLow = ThisHourLow ; PrevHourTimeL = ThisHourTimeL ; ThisHourHigh = High ; ThisHourTimeH = Time ; ThisHourLow = Low ; ThisHourTimeL = Time ; end ; If High > ThisHourHigh then begin ThisHourHigh = High ; ThisHourTimeH = Time ; end ; If Low < ThisHourLow then begin ThisHourLow = Low ; ThisHourTimeL = Time ; end ; Plot1 ( PrevHourHigh , "PrevHourHigh" ) ; Plot2 ( PrevHourLow, "PrevHourLow" ) ;

Will try it out.. Looks good though. Thanks
