thinkScript - Previous day's HLC + Today's Open

This study will chart the HLC of the previous trading day, and it will also plot today's opening price.

The “TIME” input, you will need to manually type in the specific time aggregation you are using, i.e. if you are looking at 5 minute chart, you must enter 5, if you are using 15 minute bars in your chart, you will enter 15 as the TIME.

As for the MARKET_OPEN input, this is the first bar of the day. The MARKET_CLOSE is a bit more complex…. This is the very last bar of the day. So, if you are looking at 15 minute bars, you must enter 1545. If you are looking at 5 minute bars, you must enter 1555.

Please recall that the times is stated in a 24hour form and it is Eastern Time. So, for example, 1600 is 4:00pm ET.

This will NOT work with TICK charts. Please note that this will only work if you are looking at "Trading Hours Only" within the Charts tab...
