I could not create DLL file, it gives the error message:
-- Starting build of Custom Studies Source File: OpeningRange.cpp. -- 15:37:44
Source file "OpeningRange.cpp" is missing the SCDLLName line. Refer to ACSIL documentation.
-- End of Build -- 15:37:44

please let me know if I need to change anything.

thanks

Default Re: Opening Range Custom Study
Scottorama, I have completed my opening range code. It plots the high/low for the 5, 30, and 60 minute opening ranges. A person can change the setting times for the start and/or end times for the ranges of interest. Blue annotates the highs and yellow for the lows. I am attaching the .CCP code and a chart showing the end result for your interest. This wokrs OK for me.

Why not instead use the built-in High/Low for Time Period study:

I am just trying to learn the program to PLOT lines & rectangles automatically for emini s&p, 3 points above and below the open. I tried to use the zigzag spreadsheet and did not understand much how exactly it works.
thanks for your help

For this you will want to use the High/Low for Time Period Study and set both the Start and End Times study inputs to the opening time.

Then you will want to use 2 instances of the Study Subgraph Add study to add and subtract 3 points from the High/Low for Time Period Study Subgraph:

40winks : thanks it worked, I used a horizontal line as a base instead of ohlc bar, with high/low bar period, it was calculating based on high/low of the bar irrespective of the time period.
similarly, if i want the sc to draw a rectangle automatically instead of just a line, which function should I use? we have to specify the 4 corners somewhere

This SC is very good, I have been using this for a long time without knowing its potential. I called TDameritrade if they support sc for stocks, they could not tell, can SC be used for stocks or just futures only?

Sierra Chart can be used for stocks and futures. You can get stock data from TD Ameritrade but not futures data at this time.

You don't want tos futures data - tos sends their data in blocks and not streaming.
