SC or anyone who would know how:

Do you have a study that will allow me to find the high and low of the day based upon the start and stop session times I have set for a particular symbol and then take a certain percentage of that range...for example if the high of the session is 1000 and the low of the session is 900, then the difference of the high minus the low is 100. Then I want to take this 100 amount and find 70% of that amount and then the study would plot that 70% amount as a line on my chart, in this case a horizontal line at 930 would be drawn.

I know I can do this with the price retracement tool but I want the software to do the calculation and drawing instead of constantly having to adjust the retracement tool every time there is a new high or low of the day.

Thanks in advance. Sierra charts are the best one's out there, in my opinion.

Yes you can use the Daily OHLC study for this:

And then use the Arithmetic studies:

Make sure you are running the very latest prerelease of Sierra Chart though for the best support for this.
