Previous Day High/Low/Close For ThinkOrSwim

I like to find ways to remove clutter from the charts so I came up with this. Figured others might find it appealing as well. Plots previous day's high, low and close, as well as the current days open on expansion. these values are taken from the daily aggregation.

Code:
#[email protected]
def NA = Double.NaN;

input agg = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = no;
input showBubbles = yes;
input showValuesInBubbles = yes;
input spaceBetween = 1;
plot currentOpen;
plot prevDayClose;
plot prevDayLow;
plot prevDayHigh;
def exp = IsNaN(close[spaceBetween]);

currentOpen = if exp then open("period"=agg) else NA;
prevDayClose = if exp then close("period"=agg)[1] else NA;
prevDayLow = if exp then low("period"=agg)[1] else NA;
prevDayHigh = if exp then high("period"=agg)[1] else NA;

AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(currentOpen[1]) and !IsNaN(currentOpen) then currentOpen else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "CurrOpen $"+currentOpen else "CurrOpen", Color.WHITE, yes);
AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(prevDayClose[1]) and !IsNaN(prevDayClose) then prevDayClose else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "PrevClose $"+prevDayClose else "PrevClose", Color.YELLOW, yes);
AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(prevDayLow[1]) and !IsNaN(prevDayLow) then prevDayLow else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "PrevLow $"+prevDayLow else "PrevLow", Color.RED, yes);
AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(prevDayHigh[1]) and !IsNaN(prevDayHigh) then prevDayHigh else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "PrevHigh $"+prevDayHigh else "PrevHigh", Color.GREEN, yes);

currentOpen.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
prevDayLow.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
prevDayHigh.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
prevDayClose.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
currentOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
prevDayLow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
prevDayHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
prevDayClose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

Is there a way to have Daily OHLC lines plot on a short time frame chart that I use for a trigger? For instance, If I go and plot out my daily OHLC lines then I can see them on my short term (trigger chart). However, when I jump to a different ticker I have to re-evaluate and spend time plotting which takes away valuable time during trading. Any suggestions on how this can be done.

Much appreciated in advance.
 
I can't even find a study that plots OHLC on my charts to begin with... I wish I knew something about coding... unfortunately, I'm completely inept on the subject.
 
Well basically I’d like to have past few days (ie 10 days) plotted on my short term chart. I actually use a 200 tick chart for my trigger chart. Also use 1min and 2 min... they seem to correlate fairly close.

This is for a quick in/out scalping sort of trades.

Appreciate you putting your time in for this. However, its not plotting. The name of the indicator is highlighted red after I add it to my studies. Not sure if that means its missing something?
 
yes! I appreciate this so much. It'll save me loads of time. thank you so much.

Hey buddy. You wouldn't be familiar with Tradestation code system by chance would you? TOS has been very unreliable lately so i have an alternative but this code helps so much...
 
Is there a script out there to have the previous days High, Low, Close as a badge on the chart? Any help is greatly appreciated
 
Yes.

Previous Daily High, Low, & Close

I use this as a pivot in addition to the ORB as another way to see the strength of the move. Not sure how good you are at coding but I'm trying to get the following to plot on a chart as two horizontal lines.


high+low+close/3=Daily Pivot Range

high+low/2 = Second Number

Daily Pivot Range minus Second number = Daily Pivot Differential

Daily Pivot Range + Daily pivot differential = Higher Pivot Range

Second Number minus Daily Pivot Differential = Lower Pivot Range

Plot the Higher Pivot Range and Lower Pivot Range with a horizontal line
 
Try this

Code:
input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

def prevPriceHigh = high(period = aggregationPeriod)[0];
def prevPriceLow = low(period = aggregationPeriod)[0];
def prevPriceClose = close(period = aggregationPeriod)[0];
def Daily_Pivot_Range = (prevPriceHigh[1]+prevPriceLow[1]+prevPriceClose[1])/3;
def Second_Number = (prevPriceHigh[1]+prevPriceLow[1])/2;
def Daily_Pivot_Differential = Daily_Pivot_Range - Second_Number;

plot Higher_Pivot_Range =  Daily_Pivot_Range + Daily_Pivot_Differential;

plot  Lower_Pivot_Range = Second_Number - Daily_Pivot_Differential;
