I'm using "High/Low for Time Period - Extended" to draw current day's 15min Open Range. This works great. I would like project or extend previous day's 15min Opening Range to current day. What are my options to do this?

Thanks

You would need to use the Spreadsheet Study and then setup a column with the data from the previous day listed for the current day. Refer to the information for the Spreadsheet Study here:

I tried using spreadsheet formula indicator to plot previous day's 15min Opening Range onto current day, but doesn't seem to work. I have attached picture of my settings.

My the setup, I use High/Low for time period extended indicator. 15min Opening Range is ID1 with high being ID1.SG1 and ID1.SG2 as low. For previous day's level, I added in two spreadsheet formula indicator. The first spreadsheet formula I entered in ID1.SG1[-1] for previous day 15min OR high. The 2nd spreadsheet formula I entered in ID1.SG2[-1] for previous day 15min OR low. This plot but it plots on the current day's 15min OR. Please advice.

You can do it the way you are, but you need to set the offset to a value that moves you into the previous day. Since you are using 1 minute bars, this would mean that the number between the square brackets should be at least -1440. So your formula would be ID1.SG1[-1440].

1440 is the number of minutes in one day. As long as you are not showing the Developing High/Low, then you should be fine using this number even though there may not be a full 24 hours of trading information.

We are not really sure where the 15 minutes comes into play, as you are using 1 minute bars, but if this were a 15 minute chart then the offset would be -96 (24 * 4).
