hi... new to custom indicators in SC.
Can you please point me to the right help section? I'm struggling with time referencing...
1) I want is to highlight all daily bars that are a Saturday (Australian time, which is my local time zone, and the ref time zone that I have defined for my charts)

2) I want to create a custom indicator which is simply the [abs] week open minus the week close (last week)... this is to assess weekly open GAPS... can you please point me to whether there already exists a similar study for this which I can further tune or how to go about it please?

Thanks

1. For this you can use the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

You can write a formula that checks for Saturday. Formula: WEEKDAY(BARDATE) =7

2. Use the Period OHLC-Variable Period study:
Previous/Period OHLC-Variable Period

And the arithmetic studies to do the calculation:
