Extend daily high/low until future intersection?

Can this be implemented? I would like to have a line starting from the high and low of any given day and going until it meets price in the future. I am talking about intraday charts. This would indicate at a glance the daily highs/lows that have not been hit yet.

I was under the impression that you would make this possible, not quite sure though.

In general I think it would be very useful if you could make this into a draw style to be used in any study. For example, use the OHLC study to identify yesterday's high and extend it until it is hit today, instead of having a line indicating yesterdays high in the way all day.

This could be added to the Daily OHLC-Single Point study.

This cannot be a Draw Style. This kind of logic is very removed from what Draw Styles are about.

We are looking into this. It is actually difficult to do and we also recognize a problem we need to resolve with the Daily OHLC-Single Point study when it displays the value labels.

Can the Extension Lines of HL only extend to the next Electronic (asia/europe) session regardless of weekend or holiday?

Thanks.

hope this finds you well sc support,

2 questions for Daily OHLC-Single Point study (Daily OHLC - Single Point)

1) is there a way to color the high extension lines RED for example...

and color the low extension lines GREEN?

2)
would it be possible to add a label at the right hand side of the line stating the date of the high/low it was from?

for example:
20-10-31 L
20-11-08 H


thank you very much

Would there be a way to just draw extension for previous days close using the Daily OHLC-Single Point Study. Maybe give choice on whether or not you want extensions drawn for either Previous days High, Low, or Close-not necessarily all.

Hello support, I noticed Daily OHLC - Single Point does not show the name of the label on the right edge for the extension line properties. It would be nice if you could amend the code so it does.

Thank you.
