Plotting previous day high/low/close using pine script

Question

I have a pine script to draw previous day high/open/low as shown below:

//@version=4
strategy("Plot Lines", overlay=true)

PDH = security(syminfo.tickerid,"D",high)
PDO = security(syminfo.tickerid,"D",open)
PDL = security(syminfo.tickerid,"D",low)

plot(PDH, title="High",color=color.red,linewidth=2,trackprice=true)
plot(PDO, title="Open",color=color.yellow,linewidth=2,trackprice=true)
plot(PDL, title="Low",color=color.green,linewidth=2,trackprice=true)

The script work well but I only want previous day to be shown and ignore the others day before previous day so that the chart will not be that messy.

This is what I get from the script above:

As you can see, it plot the PDH/PDO/PDL for every previous day, but I just want previous day (one day) only. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You can use the line() function instead of plot().

Draw the lines if it is the last bar, and delete the previous ones along the way.

//@version=4
study("Plot Lines", overlay=true)

PDH = security(syminfo.tickerid,"D",high)
PDO = security(syminfo.tickerid,"D",open)
PDL = security(syminfo.tickerid,"D",low)

var line l_pdh = na, var line l_pdo = na, var line l_pdl = na

if barstate.islast
    l_pdh := line.new(bar_index-1, PDH, bar_index, PDH, extend=extend.both, color=color.green)
    l_pdo := line.new(bar_index-1, PDO, bar_index, PDO, extend=extend.both, color=color.blue)
    l_pdl := line.new(bar_index-1, PDL, bar_index, PDL, extend=extend.both, color=color.red)

line.delete(l_pdh[1])
line.delete(l_pdo[1])
line.delete(l_pdl[1])
