Code:
input agg = AggregationPeriod.TWO_HOURS;
def data = close(period = agg);
plot AggClose = if !IsNaN(data) then data else data[1];
 
Update: use this link for Open, i mistakenly used close

def data = open(period = agg);
plot AggClose = if !IsNaN(data) then data else data[1];

If I wanted to use 12 hour period how would I add that I noticed that TOS didn’t have this aggregation period, btw thanks for taking the time to do this
 
I am seeking to obtain the open/close/high/low of the very first bar and to use this value as the starting point for a horizontal line. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. :oops:

See if this fits what you want. Let us know how you are using it please.

Code:
# Draw horizontal line at market open price.
# Most code extracted from another study but forgot where.
# By Horserider.

input openingPMTime  = 0400.0; #hint OrMeanS: Begin Mean Period. Usually Market Open EST.
input openingTime  = 0930.0; #hint OrMeanS: Begin Mean Period. Usually Market Open EST.

def isDaily = If (GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.DAY, yes, no);

def isPreMarket = If (GetDay() == GetLastDay() and SecondsTillTime(openingPMTime) < 0, yes, no);
input LineWidth = 1;
def na = Double.NaN;

def isBelowDaily = If (GetAggregationPeriod() < AggregationPeriod.DAY, yes, no);
def isToday = If (GetDay() == GetLastDay() and SecondsFromTime(openingPMTime) >= 0, yes, no);
def day = GetDay();

def PMopenBar = day != day[1];
def PMOpen = if PMopenBar then open else PMOpen[1];

plot PlotPMOLine = if isToday and isBelowDaily then PMOpen else na;
     PlotPMOLine.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(77, 166, 255));
     PlotPMOLine.SetLineWeight(LineWidth);
     PlotPMOLine.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
     PlotPMOLine.HideTitle();
     PlotPMOLine.HideBubble();

Thanks for the rply, the chart is blank am i suppose to do something in the code ?
 
what I was trying to do is the following, at a certain time like 6 am or 10 am I wanted a horizontal line at the opening of the bar, so at 720 (6 am) and 240-minute bar (10 am) there would be a horizontal line to the right of the chart maybe not all the way across just by a margin, using this for $ES futures, the above code I tried to see if I could do something but not code orientated for that
