Hi Support

I am a new user since early March 2017 and I am very impressed with SC, thanks. You have a multitude of studies and it takes some reading to get through all the documentation so in the interests of time, I was hoping you could point me in the right direction please in order to do the following;

1) I am using the Initial Balance study to draw high, low and midpoint lines at specific principle session times for a number of futures symbols, namely, ZB, GC, CL, JPY, EUR, GBP and CAD.

2) I want to draw Volatility Envelopes above the high and low lines of this Opening Range that involve specific tick values for each symbol in the form of a coloured line (green for VE high and Red for VE low). The Extension Multipliers in the study relate to multipliers of the initial balance range not ticks, so how could I solve this please?

3) Another item I would like to automate through a study would be to draw a rectangle based on the previous days Pivot Range. This Pivot Range high and low is based on two calculations from the previous day's session, namely (High+Low+Close)/3 and (High+Low)/2. The rectangle should be drawn in the current day based on these calcs.

4) I would finally like to draw a short line (not full horizontal line) based on the closing price of the previous US day session for each of the symbols above, noting that some of them have different session end times, for example, GC ending at 1.30pm ET and CL at 2:30pm ET, whilst the ZB and currencies sessions end at 3:00pm ET. I tried the Daily OHLC study but it only draws full horizontal lines at the closing price at the end of the day session defined in my Chart Settings for each symbol (which is 17:14:59). This is not the level I want to draw the line at.

I have separate charts for each of the symbols, if that is of any assistance.

Sorry if my queries are a bit ignorant as I have not had enough time to plough through all the documentation and there may be studies for this that I have not yet come across. I would appreciate your assistance.

Thanks and regards
Derek
