Hi, I can't get my MID level to show up in the right spot. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

We need more information and a screenshot. In particular, the MID of what? and where it is showing and where do you expect it to be?

RTH MID for F.US.EPM21 should be at 4165.50 but it's up at like 4169

What study is that MID coming from? How is it calculated?

And how are you determining where it should be?

It's coming from the Daily OHLC study and when I do a price retracement from the HOD to the LOD the MID is not lining up with the 50% price retracement

You are currently using the "Average OHLC" to determine the MID. This does not give you the average of the high and low. If you want the middle of the High and Low, then you would need to use the "Average HL".
