Thank for your reply. I am not getting expected results. Live bar's low should be lower than previous bar and close should be 50% retracement of previous bar.

I've added the code to include the current bar to be lower then the previous bar.

def fiftypct = (high[1] - low[1])/2 + low[1];
plot trigger= low< low[1] and close >= fiftypct;

The Pre-Loaded chart set-up - Pre-Loaded intraday chart: https://tos.mx/q7Bfm3J (Now complete with TFC study!) - won't load the candles??? The volume bars show but nothing shows on the price chart??? Any ideas?

Thanks. Joe

Can't figure out how to add a screenshot of what it looks like but it has the volume bars, but nothing in the price area???
 
I tested for last two days. Its working perfectly. Is it possible to add line for 0% and 100% and 50 % retracement line of previous bar for any time frame?

Hello fellow #TheStrat-ers, I wanted to say thank you for all the hard work in this forum, especially @Pelonsax. I've used several of the scripts posted here. I wanted to add one to the mix for creating price lines for insidebars. Maybe you'll find it useful. It's my first attempt at coding anything, so...it may not be elegant, but it does the trick. It plots high/low lines after an inside candle to show where potential entry points are as well as the high/low price lines for the candle before the insidebar for potential exit points. You have to change the aggregation depending on which timeframe you're on. Hope it helps.
Ruby:

# Draws high/low price lines for insidebars and the high/low price for the candle before the insidebar to identify possible entry/exits on insidebar patterns.

def insidebar = High < High[1] and Low > Low[1];
def price1 = ((high) and isnan(insidebar[-1]));
def price2 = ((high) and isnan(insidebar[-1]));


input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input length = 1;
input displace = -1;
input displace2 = -2;
input displace3 = -1;

plot longin = if price1 and insidebar[1] then (high(period = aggregationperiod)[-displace]) else double.nan;
Longin.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(6));
longin.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
addchartbubble(longin, longin, longin, color.Green, No);

plot shortin = if price1 and insidebar[1] then (low(period = aggregationperiod)[-displace]) else double.nan;
shortin.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(6));

I see it works on the 4hour is there any required time frames needed or it can work on any time frame?

Please see below image, I need study to add line of high, low and 50 % of previous bar for any time frame.

This should work. I've given you the ability to turn on and off short and long setups along with what lines you want to show. I'm going to send this out on Twitter too.

It is working perfectly after I reset all my studies. Thank you so much. I added this indicator in all of my timeframe. This is one of best indicator I ever have.

It might not work for after hours charts because of some code I used to limit the length of the lines. Besides that, it should work on any Ruth timeframe.
