Hi All, I created this watchlist column so that I can see the open and close of multiple timeframes in 1 column for viewing full timeframe continuity. Now I would like to be able to calculate which timeframe has the highest difference from the open and plot that amount. I cannot figure out how to get the actual open and close values from my custom expressions though. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how? I tried to 'getvalue' but its not pulling the correct open/close timeframe based on my expectation. Also, this code should be loaded on a 5 minute watchlist/chart. Thanks as always!!
Code:

I thought the need to specify a timeframe for a chart study prevented such a thing. Will be testing this out soon!
