Is there any way to extend the OHLC study lines into the forward column area where price hasn't populated yet?

Thanks

For each of the OHLC subgraphs, try changing the Displacment setting to the number of forward columns you want.

Also make sure that you set the maximum number of forward columns that your chart will allow by using Chart Settings >>> Advance Settings >> Number of Forward Columns

Daily OHLC study but User212764 pointed me in the right direction. Is that the only way of doing this?

Thanks

When I extend the Daily OHLC study with the displacement selection, it waits to change for the new high/low that many bars. So I have a vertical line from the old high/low to the new high/low not at 6pm but 6:10pm.

Is there any way to extend the lines into the unpopulated forward columns without losing that same number of displacement columns on the other end of the chart? Also, Is there anyway to not get the vertical line when the lines change from one day to another?

Thanks

The better way to do what you are wanting is to use the Study Subgraph Reference study and apply it 4 times to chart, once for each Open, High, Low and Close from the Daily OHLC study. Then set the Subgraph Draw Style for the Study Subgraph Reference to Line at Last Bar to Edge. Refer to the following:
Study Subgraph Reference

And refer to the following for the Draw Style:
Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Draw Style

To remove the connections between days, set the Draw Style for the Daily OHLC subgraphs to Dash. Refer to the following:
Chart Studies: Dash (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_DASH)
