Horizontal Line @ Specific Time

[RlyNotUrBroker]

Hello. I'm sure this is a basic question but I'm just getting into ThinkScript but I can't figure out for the life of me how to get a horizontal line to plot at the previous day close. what I have is as follows:

def lasttrade = close;
plot test = close;
def aggregation = aggregationPeriod.DAY;

it will plot a line at every close price for the chart timeframe I'm looking at, but I want it to plot only a horizontal line at the previous day close.
Basically I want it to look at only the previous candle and plot a horizontal line across the chart that marks the previous close
I've tried the painting strategy.HORIZONTAL but it gives me a syntax error and I don't know where to go with this anymore. any help is appreciated!

@SleepyZ

I tried to use this code by updating the time with my needs but I could not figure out the extension for the 1:30 , I am looking the 1:30 candle to get extended to the next, if u could help me on that.

again Thank you so much

The code from https://usethinkscript.com/threads/horizontal-line-specific-time.7327/post-114857 that I think you used has the 'High' as the price to plot.
Based upon your request above, I modified that code to plot 2 lines from the times to the next day's same times.

#Horizontal_Lines_at_SelectTimes_to_next_day

input price = open;

input time1 = 0000;
input time2 = 1330;

input show_lines  = yes;
input show_labels = yes;

def na      = Double.NaN;

def sec1 = SecondsFromTime(time1);
def sec2 = SecondsFromTime(time2);
def isTime1 = (sec1 >= 0 and sec1[1] < 0) or (sec1 < sec1[1] and sec1 >= 0);
def isTime2 = (sec2 >= 0 and sec2[1] < 0) or (sec2 < sec2[1] and sec2 >= 0);

def ln1     = if istime1 then price else ln1[1];
def ln2     = if istime2 then price else ln2[1];

plot line1  = if !show_lines then na else ln1;
plot line2  = if !show_lines then na else ln2;

line1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
line2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);

addlabel(show_labels, "Time1: " + asprice(time1), line1.takeValueColor());
addlabel(show_labels, "Time2: " + asprice(time2), line2.takeValueColor());

HI @SleepyZ Thanks for writing this script. This is what i am searching for. I selected two time frame (mid night open and market open).

1. After adding the script and when I move the charts left or right the lines are NOT locked to the candles and they look like floating. Can you please help to fix them?

2. Can you please add an option to show today lines only?

3. Can the lines stop at 4 PM EST (Line 1: mid night to 4 PM. Line 2: 9.30 AM to 4 PM)?

4. Can you please add bubble with price at open on the line?

Thanks for your support .

This should help do all that you want. Use the inputs to control what you want.
The image is shown using EST zone and midnight (0000) and 0930 starts ending at 1600
The lines are limited to the number input at number_lines_to_show and end at 1600.

#Horizontal_Lines_at_SelectTimes_to_endtime

input price = open;

input time1 = 0000;
input time2 = 0930;

input show_labels = yes;

def na      = Double.NaN;

def sec1 = SecondsFromTime(time1);
def sec2 = SecondsFromTime(time2);
def isTime1 = (sec1 >= 0 and sec1[1] < 0) or (sec1 < sec1[1] and sec1 >= 0);
def isTime2 = (sec2 >= 0 and sec2[1] < 0) or (sec2 < sec2[1] and sec2 >= 0);

def ln1     = if isTime1 then price else if SecondsFromTime(endtime) > 0 then na else ln1[1];
def ln2     = if isTime2 then price else if SecondsFromTime(endtime) > 0 then na else ln2[1];

def ln1count = if isTime1 then ln1count[1] + 1 else ln1count[1];
def ln1cond  = HighestAll(ln1count) - ln1count + 1;
def ln2count = if isTime2 then ln2count[1] + 1 else ln2count[1];
def ln2cond  = HighestAll(ln2count) - ln2count + 1;
#addchartBubble(1,low,ln1count+"\n"+ln1cond,color.yellow,no);

plot line1  = if !show_lines or ln1cond > number_lines_to_show then na else ln1;
plot line2  = if !show_lines or ln2cond > number_lines_to_show then na else ln2;

line1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
line2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);

AddLabel(show_labels, "Time1: " + AsPrice(time1), line1.TakeValueColor());
AddLabel(show_labels, "Time2: " + AsPrice(time2), line2.TakeValueColor());

input show_bubbles = yes;
AddChartBubble(show_bubbles and isTime1 and ln1cond <= number_lines_to_show, price, price, line1.TakeValueColor());
AddChartBubble(show_bubbles and isTime2 and ln2cond <= number_lines_to_show, price, price, line2.TakeValueColor());

Thank you @SleepyZ . Great.

One minor adjustment. Is it possible to move the bubble on right?

The bubbles are movable and displayed now on the right

Wow. Amazing. Thank you @SleepyZ for your help.
