draw horizontal line for high and low values between the previous day close (4pm) and today open (9:30am) in TOS

Hi,

i am looking for a TOS script that can draw the horizontal lines of the highest and lowest values for the time period between previous day close and today market open.

example: draw horizontal lines for the highest and lowest value, between sep 15, 2022 4pm and sep 16, 2022 9:30am assuming today is sep 16, 2022. (EST time)

Thanks for your help,
Tupar

You can limit how many plots to display @input show_plots_for_daysback . I have set it to 3 to give you the first 2 days you last indicated you wanted. Look at the explanation in the next paragraph for why you need a 3 for the 2 days.

The code uses a general snippet of code called thisday that I use that defines ranges with uniform numbers. Those numbers did not stay the same between chart timeframes. The range for your request spans 2 chart days and required some finesse to make it uniform days. It numbers them 1, 3, 5, 7, etc... Make sure your chart timeframe has a few extra days than the highest number of plots you want to display.

Thanks, this is working good!
