Post From: color coding bars in different time frames

Dear SC support

Consider the time range highlight study which can highlight and color code a specific bar at a given time on an intraday chart e.g.. a midday bar on a one hour chart can be set to show all the bars at midday everyday on a one hour chart the same color and the bars at 1.00pm everyday the same color. so each one hour bar has a different color within a 24 hour period.

Is it possible to add to this same study, options, to highlight each daily bar a different color e.g.. every Monday of every week the same color and every Tuesday of every week the same color, so a different color bar for every day of the week which repeats every week, that being 5 colors in total if you count Sunday and Monday as same color on the daily chart.

The same options for weekly and monthly charts e.g.. highlight all the first weeks of every month the same color and all the second weeks of each month the same color etc...so a different color for each week of the month which repeats every month. this would be four or five different colors depending on how many weeks in the month.

Every January of each year the same color and every February of each year the same color that would make it 12 different colors in total in a year on the monthly time frame chart.
If there is already a study in sierra charts that can do this then i have not been able to find it. I hope the above makes sense?

thank you
