Hello,

Does anyone know how can I make certain hrs of the day a different color from the other. EI Cash hours different to Globex hrs.

TradeStation doesnt seem to have setting for it. Maybe there is an indicator ?

Thanks

Hector

You may want to use a paintbar:

 

Code

inputs: opentime(1535), closetime(2200); If Time < opentime or Time > closetime then PlotPB(High, Low, Open, Close, "OutOfSession", darkgray);

Like Albnd mentioned, paintbars will do the trick. Either color the price bars or the chart background.

For the latter you can slightly modify the posted code to:

 

Code

inputs: opentime(1535), closetime(2200), BgrdColor(yellow); Variables: HighVal(0), LowVal(0); once begin HighVal = Close * 3; LowVal = Close * .33; end; If Time < opentime or Time > closetime then begin Plot1(HighVal, "OutOfSession", BgrdColor); Plot2(LowVal, "OutOfSession", BgrdColor); end;

Make sure to format Plot1 as Bar High and Plot as Bar Low in TS.

That is what I was looking for. I am working the indicator, when I have it ready I will post it here for anyone that may want to use it.

Did you ever put together this indicator?
