How can I create a horizontal line at time from yesterday?

I already use horizontal lines at time for the current day, however I also need horizontal lines at time from yesterday.

For example in Germany the offical close of the YM future is at 22pm. So on my chart for the next day I would like to display this close price automatically as a horizontal line.

Is this possible and how does it work?

For this use the Daily OHLC study:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s137

It can be set to draw OHLC lines from the previous day. Any of the lines you do not want to see you can set the Draw Style for them to Ignore.

yes I already now the daily OHCL study and already use it for other charts.

However I need a study, which makes automatically a horizontal line at time from yesterday (e.g. at 22pm for the YM-future), because after 22pm (e.g. at 22:01pm) there are further YM future data available and plotted.

How can this be realized?

I think you want the Horizontal Line at Time study. https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s306

Why is it that the Daily OHLC study does not work for you?

It follows the chart Session Times. You can set the End Time to 22:00:00 in Chart >> Chart Settings. It can reference the prior day.

I don't want to limit the session time of the YM to 22pm, because sometimes I'm still in an open trade after 22pm ;-)

But taking your posting into account I think I can solve the problem by opening an additional YM chart with a session end of 22pm. From this chart I can copy the 22pm horizontal line (derived from the daily OHLC study) to my major YM trading chart by using the options chart Settings/Advanced Settings 2/Copy chart Drawings for different symbols. Does that work?

An easier way would be to enhance the study "Horizontal Line at Time" with the option, that it can be also used for the day before. Are you working on that?

For this you will need to use the Study/Price Overlay study:

No, this is not planned.
