Sierra-nOOb here. I'm attempting to port over some simple custom strategies-- I'd like to create a study which will automatically project lines on the current day's chart based on a user-specified percentage of the instrument's day-session opening price. So for example, if the opening price is 50, evenly-spaced levels at 50.50, 51, 51.5, 49.5, 49, etc. would appear. I've attempted to modify the Auto Retracement/ Projection study and the Multiply and Add studies based on Period OHLC but I'm not getting much traction. I'd appreciate any pointers towards the general direction.
Thanks, in advance!

You can use multiple instances of the Bands/Envelope study, with the 'Based On' set to the Daily OHLC study or the Period OHLC-Variable Period study.

You could also use a single instance of the Spreadsheet Study study. It will give you up to 60 lines based on formulas in cells K3 to BR3.

That's great, thank you! I'll use the 'based on' for now and work up to the more elegant spread sheet study in time. I appreciate the reply.
