Hello.
I have searched for this basic study here and have not found this simple item - but instead I've found tons of super complex stuff (to me) that even after I try to fiddle with code (not a big tech guy here) it still is just all wrong. Just a lot of noise and is frustrating a bit if I'm honest. So I registered on this forum and want to see if someone can help here....
It is simple:
I ONLY day trade momentum runners using 1min, 5min, and Daily. That's it.
Every day I go to my Daily and, pending how stock is moving, will usually draw (click "$Price Level" from Drawings) a simple thin green line at top and at the bottom wicks on daily - sometimes I will do 2 or 3 days.
All I am wanting is a simple study that will just plot the previous DAY high/low (which I believe takes into account 4am-8pm - whatever the absolute max low/high was).
The line would go left and right full extension - just like when I manually add lines. The lines will continue into eternity horizontally - in other words in both directions, though perhaps someone else might prefer them in one direction. Often I see these studies that have all these zig zags and "chop". Or they just down vertically and all kinds of stuff. No. I just want basic horizontal forever-extending (left/right) "Price Level" style line (like from ToS drawings). Super basic. (already have a pre-market high/low so don't need anything else.
To be clear: If you were to pull open a flex grid 1min,5min and Daily on the same screen and you were to draw a horizontal (left/right) line on the last day or two from the previous Day High wick and Low wick, as seen from the Daily chart, I should (depending if it fits on time frame), also see this same line on my 1 and 5. That's it. Heck, if I were to pull up a monthly, 3min, 1 year or whatever - that same horizontal line would still be there immaterial of time frame - just as with a Drawing Price Level.
*Ideally, there could also be an option as to how many days I want plotted. In most cases I end up putting those lines manually for about 3-5 days worth of H/Ls. Often it is just one or two days. Sometimes just one day. Don't like excessive noise on my charts - only stuff immediately relevant to me for that day.
*Ideally, there could also be a price (mine is usually on left axis for all my horizontal "Price Level" lines from the Drawings which I manually put in. Heck you could - if you wanted - include the option to include the open and close also as I occasionally will use that though honestly not as much as you might think due to the volatility of parabolic runners and also my trade style. Still, could be nice as additional option to turn on if wanted as I will sometimes consider that. Of course if included, that line would also be the same "forever-horizontal line".
I do this manually every day and is a step I was hoping to automate....since every time I do it I am always thinking, "can't the computer just do this for me"?
THANK YOU computer experts out there for any assistance...have a nice day....
*******On second thought - please include the PRE-MARKET HIGH and LOW. I thought the one I had was good from someone's provided scripts but no - there are squiggly lines everywhere. Just need a basic left/right horizontal line at that top/bottom price - same type as above. Can't believe this is that difficult. Thx for help or pls direct me where I can go to get info....
