How to draw a 15min Horizontal line of the high & low of the first 15mins after stock market opens

Solution
what you are asking for is an ORB studyHi,
Can some please assist on a TOS code to draw a horizontal line of the high & low of the first 15mins candlestick after the stock market opens please? Much thanks!
P.S. I do NOT know much about coding
https://usethinkscript.com/search/1840985/?q=orb&o=date
here is one i made
change the time to 15min
it draws an arrow when a line is crossed
Code:
#orbs_05_cln

# ORB, opening range levels
def na = Double.NaN;
input timeframe = { t1min , t2min , t3min , t5min , t10min , t15min , default t30min };
input show_ORB_label = yes;
input show_range_lines = no;
def srl = show_range_lines;

Hi, I love this. Of course I started to customize it for me and I added a chart label that measured the gap between the High and the Low, sort of a ATR. Then (and this is where I really need your opinion on this) to have a second ORB at the 12:30 - 1:30 time, however it just doesn't seem to work, I'm sure it's me. I'm thinking much like a Anchored Vwap. We need to adjust our game for the afternoon. Does this make sense and if it does could you help with this code because for some reason the dots don't line up with the plotted lines and I noticed if I change the stock ticker sometimes it works (sort of) and other time it's way off. I was thinking to have a separate script for the morning (your original) and then a modified script for the afternoon. Here's the code:

Halcyonguy, I had found your ORB study after and have been using it. I find it much simpler to understand and less clutter. One thing I was working on is a PM ORB study, I have two charts one AM and the other PM where I just changed the time and color of the lines for identification. But I don't know if as valuable yet. So thanks for a concise Thinkscript!
