Re: [amibroker] trying to calculate pivot points using a limmited time frame

[Graham <kavemanperth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here are a couple of things you can try

you can code in the intraday times with AFL
dayStart = cross(timenum(),062959);
dayFinish = cross(timenum(),125959);
eg these can be used to find the days open and close prices with valuewhen
Dayopen = valuewhen( daystart, O );
DayClose = valuewhen( dayfinish, C );


or use this condition
MarketOpen = timenum()>=63000 and timenum()<=130000;

If you are using a chart you can set the market times into either day
or night session and use that for the chart, or as above use the aFL
