I need to use the weekly open in my strategy.

For me, the weekly open is the bid price of the first tick after the weekend (when using GMT UTC time setup, it's on sunday at 21:00) .

If I use the block Get Historical Candle with period: Week and shift: 0 (the current unfinished week) and then I display the variable open, I see the price of the first tick on monday, but there are previous ticks on sunday!

Then I tried getting 120 hourly candles (1 week= 5 days *24 hours) using Get Historical Candles, and then with a loop viewer I want to get the open price of the hourly candle with Day of Week = 0 (Sunday) and Hour = 21. But it's not working.

Please can you help me?

I enclose my prototype for your reference

Hi,

According to my understanding this looks quite simple.
Attached an example.

Cheers

Hello Amine and thanks for your answer.

I've looked at your suggestion code and I see a pair problems:

1. The code will return the last tick price that arrives on the first minute of the week. But I need the first tick price!
2. The code has to be running at the beginning of the week to get the price, and if the strategy is stopped in the middle of the week, it can't be used again until the next sunday.

I have another simpler program for that (running since sunday night):

User Variable  FirsTick Boolean Initial Value: True
User Variable WeeklyFirstPrice Double

OnTick -> If FirstTick = True -> If LastTickInstrument = DefaultInstrument -> Assign False to FirstTick -> Assign LastTickBid to WeeklyFirstPrice

But it has the same problem: It has to be started on sunday and if it's stopped in the middle of the week you have to wait until next sunday.

I need to get the first price of the week from the first historical candle on sunday night to be able to start running the strategy at any moment during the week.

Cheers
