Study Plotting Under Every Bar

Having trouble with my code this section is plotting under every bar no matter the time frame any ideas?:

plot s1 = if IsNaN(currentPrice) then Double.NaN else (currentPrice - (currentPrice * RiskPercent));
s1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
s1.SetDefaultColor(Color.PINK);

Code:
# Position Size Calculator based on max % account risk with variable position riskPercent %
# Includes % targets and chart plots
# Author: @bottomphishing
# Date: 6/20/2021

declare upper;

# Input max percentage of a portfolio that one stock should be
input Max_Percent = 0.25;
input price = close;
input Extend_to_right = yes;

def netliq = GetNetLiq();


## Risk of Portfolio

def twoperc = netliq * (Max_Percent / 100);
AddLabel(yes, Max_Percent + "% ActRisk " + AsDollars(twoperc), Color.CYAN);

# Input position risk
input RiskPercent = .05 ;

# Position Size
def currentPrice = close;
def dollarRisk = (currentPrice * RiskPercent);

def stopPrice = (currentPrice - dollarRisk);
def SHAREStoBUY = twoperc / (currentPrice - stopPrice);

input showlabel = yes;

AddLabel (yes, " Cap " + AsDollars (SHAREStoBUY * currentPrice), Color.CYAN);

AddLabel (yes, AsPercent(RiskPercent) + " Risk " + AsDollars (currentPrice - (currentPrice * RiskPercent)), Color.CYAN);

AddLabel (yes, " Pos " + RoundUp ((SHAREStoBUY), 0), Color.LIGHT_GREEN);

#Position Targets
def GetAveragePrice = GetAveragePrice();
def TargetPrice = Round((GetAveragePrice * .05) + GetAveragePrice);
def TargetPrice2 = Round((GetAveragePrice * .10) + GetAveragePrice);
def TargetPrice3 = Round((GetAveragePrice * .20) + GetAveragePrice);
def TargetPrice4 = Round((GetAveragePrice * .50) + GetAveragePrice);
def TargetPrice5 = Round((GetAveragePrice * 1.00) + GetAveragePrice);
def dollarStop = Round(GetAveragePrice - (GetAveragePrice * RiskPercent));

AddLabel (yes, "Stop " + AsDollars(dollarStop), Color.LIGHT_RED);
AddLabel (yes, "5% " + AsDollars(TargetPrice), if GetAveragePrice <= 0 then Color.Black else Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
AddLabel (yes, "10% " + AsDollars(TargetPrice2), if GetAveragePrice <= 0 then Color.Black else Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
AddLabel (yes, "20% " + AsDollars(TargetPrice3), if GetAveragePrice <= 0 then Color.Black else Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
# AddLabel (yes, "50% " + AsDollars(TargetPrice4), if GetAveragePrice <= 0 then Color.Black else Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
# AddLabel (yes, "100% " + AsDollars(TargetPrice5), if GetAveragePrice <= 0 then Color.Black else Color.GREEN);

plot s1 = if IsNaN(currentPrice) then Double.NaN else (currentPrice - (currentPrice * RiskPercent));
s1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
s1.SetDefaultColor(Color.PINK);

plot r1 = dollarStop;
r1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
r1.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);

plot a1 = GetAveragePrice;
a1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
a1.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);

plot t1 = TargetPrice; t1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL); t1.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
plot t2 = TargetPrice2; t2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL); t2.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
plot t3 = TargetPrice3; t3.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL); t3.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
# plot t4 = TargetPrice4; t4.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL); t4.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
# plot t5 = TargetPrice5; t5.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL); t5.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);

So I need it to test of the current bar is close or not to calculate on the current open bar?
This test determining the cruuent bar,IsNaN(close[-1]), will limit the plot to the current bar. I added s1ext to extend the line to the right edge, but you can limit it to just the current bar by substituting (currentPrice - (currentPrice * RiskPercent)) for s1ext. You can derive other similar tests to limit the plot.

Ruby:
def s1ext = if IsNaN(close) then s1ext[1] else (currentPrice - (currentPrice * RiskPercent));
plot s1   = if IsNaN(close[-1]) then s1ext else Double.NaN;
you didn't say what you want to have happen, so i can't tell you how to get there.
that plot statement has 1 condition
...if IsNaN(currentPrice) then Double.NaN
to test if close is not a valid price. if close has a number, then it plots, so it plots on all the bars, and not after the last bar.
if you want it to plot on only some of the bars, you will need a formula that tests for some condition.

@bottomphishing @SleepyZ I'm having some issues with this, maybe you can shed some light or provide an updated version? I can't seem to get any of the plot lines to work except for s1. Everything else just bottoms out to 0 because the stop price always remains at $0.

For some stocks it doesn't show anything except s1.

For other stocks it draws the other lines at the far left.

This study seems to populate when you actually enter a trade as it uses getaverageprice(), which is the price when a trade is entered. So go to simulated trading (paper trading versioon of TOS) and enter a trade and see if it works then.
