I am trying to make a simple indicator which will plot a line of the high and low of the H1 candle from the London Open (6am-7am candle). For the life of me, I cannot see how this is accomplished. Could you advise on the way to do this? This indicator will be part of my EA based on trading these high / low levels.

Thanks

The indicator builder does not have a time icon so you cannot tell it to plot only for a session. You can plot the continuous line. In the strategy builder you can add the time filter and create an ea or signal for the indicator.

How would I go about creating a signal for the high and low of the 6am candle? Enclosed is where I am at with the EA. It enters at 8am or 9am (London time) if it breaks below/above the candle. However, the reason I need a signal of the high and low is for the stop. I would like to close the trade after the H1 close above/below the 6am-7am candle, so if I am long, trades closes if the H1 closes below the 6am low and visa versa. Any advise on how to structure this?

Thanks for your help. George

Not sure if you posted the right ea. The one you posted does not have any time filters so I'm not sure why you say " It enters at 8am or 9am" The logic you posted could work at any moment.
The way you use a time filter is to add a time icon that connects from START to AND thus the logic in the same "branch (connected by the same AND)" will work only under the time filter defined in the time icon. Time icons should be used with and AND and TA, TA+, MQL, BUYP, SELLP
If you want to open 8 to 9, you connect the time icon to the AND and inside the time icon you set every day to start at 8 and finish at 9. You need to trade every tick. Remember that 8 to 9 are server hours and not your local time - you need to find the server time. The ea will print it on the screen so you can get it from there. For example maybe your server time that is equivalent to 8 to 9 London is 13 to 14.
