Want Daily HiLo Indicator to line up with today's data

I have an indicator that I found on FF a couple of years ago that displays the High, Low (and Close) for yesterday for any timeframe and works great on Renko charts. The High-Low display for yesterday is shown against the price bars for today. I want yesterday's High-Low display to line up with yesterday's price bars, not today's. The mq code I am using is attached herewith.

I don't know how to modify the code to have the High-Low display line up with the price bars for the same day please. If it means that today's High and Low is not displayed before tomorrow this would not be a big problem either. Can someone please modify the code accordingly?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I was working on something similar as part of an EA. It was quite simple to turn it into an indicator
You have a choice of lines or dots


Edit: Attachments removed, Indicators amended and reposted later

Hi Gumrai,

Both your files do what I want them to do. However after they have been applied to the charts in a workspace, I close the workspace, then reopen it the "Hi-Lo" opens ok at first but then they "update" during the opening process and I end up just with 2 horizontal lines. If I open the "HiLo" indicator on the chart and close it again then it works as it should. I included an example here.
Could you take a look at it again please to see what needs to be changed.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, that's strange. Not sure what is going on there.
If you change timeframes. it comes back again.
It may well sort itself out when new ticks are coming in when the market is open, but it is still not right.
I will try to see why this is happening and get back to you.

Sorted out the parrallel line thing, but seeing another problem with live ticks coming in. Will see if I can sort that before reposting the indicator

Thanks a lot Gumrai

I believe that I have it sorted now
It doesn't go all the way back in history, but hopefully it will serve your purpose

Sorry, I got tied up with some jobs on Canada day and just picked up your latest message now.


I tried both of the indicators on a few charts and they catch the last 10 days on time-based charts, which suits me fine. They don't catch all the days on the Renko charts though and that's really where I plan to use them. Although the previous versions didn't work out they were picking up all the days correctly on Renko, at least before the live data started streaming again Sunday evening. I don't know if you have a hunch what the problem might be.
Thanks for all your efforts. I'm most appreciative.

Give this a go, it works on standard charts but I have not tried it on offline charts so do not know if it will work on them. You can select as many days of history as required.

Hi cja,

Could you send me the mq4 copy of the file instead. I can't get this one to open.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Gumrai and cja,

Upon further searching I came across another code "mn Fxcba" under thread #3806378. It did more than I need but I was able to simplify it - using guesswork I think - and it does what I need it to do both for Renko charts and time-based charts.

I have included the original since it is a lot more flexible as well as my simplified version
"Day HiLo mod mn Fxcba-Thr3806378-130702"

A big thanks to both of you for your help in this quest.

cja it is really great indicator/tools i am looking for candle number(like 4 candle high low of mn/week/day/4h) high low for any time frame .i searched /requested many time but no result if it is possible please create this tool .....

I used to have similar indicator in past which draws on MTF charts and also mean, average price of high/low. Does anyone have it?
