Hello,

Will someone please help me. I am still new to this and keep messing up. Everyday I would just like a line on my charts for the following 9 levels:

1) The PREVIOUS days high/low/close
2) The PREVIOUS weeks high/low/close
3) The PREVIOUS months high/low/close

I am tired of constantly manually drawing these out. If it is simple for you to script I will be very grateful.

Kind Regards,
Andrew

here is a study that draws 3 lines ( H L C ), for each time period. ( DY WK MO )

the day lines are drawn on the current day, at the previous day levels.
the week lines are drawn on the current week, at the previous week levels.
the month lines are drawn on the current month, at the previous month levels.

can choose the period offset. default is 1, which reads data from 1 period ago (previous). if 0 is used then price levels from the current time periods will be used.

can pick a different color (0-9) for the 3 time period lines and a legend label.

i used inputs for setting the period times, because i don't like using constants and it made it easier to copy the code from section to section. so it is possible to change the period times, but i didn't test others.

there is a built in study called dailyopen , that was a starting point.
at the end are 2 lists of color names.

Ruby: 
# prevlevels_hlc01

# 1) The PREVIOUS days high/low/close
# 2) The PREVIOUS weeks high/low/close
# 3) The PREVIOUS months high/low/close

input data_from_x_periods_ago = 1;
def dfx = data_from_x_periods_ago ;

input weekcolor = 4;
input monthcolor = 9;

addlabel(1, " [ data from " + dfx + " periods ago ] ", color.yellow);

pDayH.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

def prevDayL = low(period = aggday)[dfx];
plot pDayL = if istoday then prevDayL else na;
pDayL.SetDefaultColor(getcolor(daycolor));
pDayL.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

def prevDayC = close(period = aggdAY)[dfx];
