Can this

be made to specify the time frame and candle? For example, I want to know the high and low of the 1 hr candle at midnight New York on a 5 minute chart...

Here are 3 methods you can choose to display the H/L of the agg period @time input

Screenshot 2023-09-17 081100.png
Code:
input time = 0000;
input agg  = AggregationPeriod.HOUR;
def bar = SecondsFromTime(time) == 0;

#Value Method
#H/L of Agg displayed as Values @Time of Current Candle H/L
input Use_Value_Method = yes;

plot h = if bar then high(period = agg) else Double.NaN;
h.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_ABOVE);
h.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
h.SetHiding(!Use_Value_Method);
plot l = if bar then low(period = agg) else Double.NaN;
l.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_BELOW);
l.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
l.SetHiding(!Use_Value_Method);


#Bubble Method 
#H/L of Agg displayed as Bubbles @Time of Current Agg H/L

input Use_Bubble_Method = no;
AddChartBubble(Use_Bubble_Method and bar, high, h, color = Color.GREEN);
AddChartBubble(Use_Bubble_Method and bar, low, l, up = no);

#Alternative Bubble Method
#@H/L of Agg displayed as Bubbles @Time of Agg H/L 

input Use_Alternative_Bubble_Method = no;
input show_lines  = yes;
plot hi = if Use_Alternative_Bubble_Method and bar then high(period = agg) else Double.NaN;
plot lo = if Use_Alternative_Bubble_Method and bar then low(period = agg) else Double.NaN;
hi.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
lo.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
hi.SetHiding(!show_lines);
lo.SetHiding(!show_lines);

AddChartBubble(Use_Alternative_Bubble_Method and bar, hi, hi, color = Color.GREEN);
AddChartBubble(Use_Alternative_Bubble_Method and bar, lo, lo, up = no);

This will plot the prices on each candle for whatever chart timeframe you are viewing.
Is it possible to plot ONLY the price of Last candle and erase the previous ones as it goes to new candle just to keep the chart clean for scalp trading. Most of the time these prices overlapping making it difficult to read. Thank you

You can now limit the number of plots at the input limit_plot_to_x_bars

Code:
input limit_plot_to_x_bars = 1;

def lastBar = if IsNaN(close[-1])  && !IsNaN(close) then BarNumber() else lastBar[1];

plot h  = if BarNumber() >= HighestAll(lastBar) - limit_plot_to_x_bars + 1 and BarNumber() <= HighestAll(lastBar) then high else Double.NaN;
h.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_ABOVE);

plot l = if BarNumber() >= HighestAll(lastBar) - limit_plot_to_x_bars + 1 and BarNumber() <= HighestAll(lastBar) then low else Double.NaN;
l.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_BELOW);
