I would like to create horizontal lines on my chart for the below expansion targets, which will update every day.

previous high +(previous high - previous close)
x.25
x.50
x.75

previous low - (previous high - previous close)
x.25
x.50
X.75

So a total of 8 lines
Could you please help?

When you say Previous High and Previous Close are you referring to the prior day high and close?

Kind of looks like a Pivot Point type of formula.

Have a look at using this study:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s294 (Previous/Period OHLC-Variable Period)

And then using the arithmetic studies to do these calculations:
Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies

However, these are Pivot Point type of calculations and we could add this formula to the Pivot Points-Daily study if it is something which is not going to keep changing.

It looks like an expansion of Pivot Point Formula Type 16.

Without a new PP formula, the easiest way to do this is with the Spreadsheet Study study.
