Is it possible that drawing tools like horizontal line, extending rectangle and similar to show up only in the lock fill space of a chart? Is it possible for studies like High/Low for Period?
Thanks.

It is not supported to have extended drawings only display in the fill space (locked, or otherwise).

For studies, you can get very close using the Draw Style of Line at Last Bar to Edge. Just keep in mind that it is only going to be the value of the last bar. Refer to the information here:

I was looking for a solution to this and came up with a neat trick.

You will need two Time Range Highlight studies. For the first one use the Fill Top drawing style and for the second one Fill Bottom. Set the color to your chart background color. Time range from 0:00 to 23:59:59. Display In Forward Projection Area set to "No". Then in Chart Settings set all three options to "Yes": Draw Highlight Drawings Underneath Main Graph and Studies, Draw Non-Highlight Drawings Underneath Main Graph and Studies, Draw Advanced Custom Study Drawings Above Other Drawings.

Make sure the Time Raneg Highlight studies are the first on your study list, so that they don't cover other studies. Voila.

The solution comes with a con: all drawings will be visible in the Forward Projection Area only.
