i would like to extend the 50% retracement of the last hour to the close of the next one.

i use the auto retracement/ projection indicator for actual 60 minutes, and thought if this can be done by

a spreadsheet study.

i know theres a tool for retracements, but it must be drawn automatically just for next 60 minutes.

please see attached chart and thanks in advance

You can do what your trying to accomplish without a spreadsheet, although it will require that you keep an hourly chart open in the background.

The attached chart shows what it looks like, and the attached chartbook shows how I did it. Note that you will have to change the chart's symbol to something you have data for.

Of course, This can also be done with a spreadsheet. I sure Tom will post something for you when he gets time.

This can be done with the Spreadsheet Study study.
Try this:

-Add the Spreadsheet Study study
-Set the Chart Region to 1
-Give it a name in the Spreadsheet Name field
-Set the Draw Style of K(SG1) to Ignore and others to Dash or Point
-Use these formulas:
Cell K3:
=FLOOR(A3-INT(A3),1/24)
Cell L3:
=IF(K3>K4,ID1.SG3@4,L4)

-This assumes the Auto Retracement/Projection study is ID1; edit as needed.
-This assumes the Auto Retracement/Projection study's Time Period is set to 60 Minutes.
-This is an example for one of the lines. To repeat for other lines, use the L3 formula in other Formula Columns, editing the respective SG# and column, e.g. in column M:
=IF(K3>K4,ID1.SG4@4,M4)
