Hi, i've been trying to implement a SS study to incorporate measures for ATR Bands & Noise Bands for a new day. My issue is how to incorporate the last day's close. I am looking at CL ETH which closes @ 22:15 London time. I've set the sessions and have a daily chart/data that can be set to intraday which slows the actual daily close. When i try and use the Overlay Bar data and a Daily OHLC combination the daily chart reverts back to the chart time-frame from the SS Study.. any ideas or a better method for getting the previous day's close (the standard Close on historical daily data is incorrect). Many thanks..

The Daily OHLC study can be set to reference the prior day. So you can use that to get the prior day closing price.

The Daily OHLC Close that is calculated looks like the settlement price NOT the Close. Yesterday it was calculated at 77.19 for CL whereas the close of Globex (17:15 ET) should have been 77.33 - I need this price i.e. Globex Close NOT the settlement. Can you tell me how I can find this price easily to populate my study. Many thanks

Use the Daily OHLC study on an Intraday chart and make sure the chart Session Times are set according to what you require. Here is the documentation:

Good morning, Sierra Support! Got a question regarding backtesting and using previous day close from each day: when I use OHLC, it draws only the previous day close, doenst matter what day it is. Instead, I need the previous day close for each separate day to be shown, like here from ThinkorSwim (see attached file). Is there a way to do that?


Also when using Previous Bar Close (and setting input from Quote Board to 'yes'), the study is not drawn for some reason. When I choose "No", then a completely wrong number appears on the chart. Help would be appreciated!
