I am writing a custom study, and I know historical charts for ES provide the settlement price as the close...is there a way to get the settlement price without using a historical chart or spreadsheets study.. for example, is there a function to add into the code that would access the settlement price?

We are not sure what you are looking for in terms of "code for the extended rectangle tool". The information for creating drawings from a custom study is here: Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study That is all that is available - there is no other code that shows how this is handled internally.

With regards to Post #8, we do not have enough information to be able to say what is occurring. The one thing we see is in the image named "Screenshot_2026-03-06_122858.png" you have the "Short Name" set as "ES Prior Month Close". If you are actually trying to pull the prior month, then do you have enough data loaded in the source chart? Also, do you have that value somehow projected forward such that it can be picked up properly in the current bars for the destination chart? -- Separately - this last post should be in a thread of its own. The previous posts were related to Programming Help. We nearly missed this posting due to this.
