Extend candle POC until further intersection

Is there any way to extend the point of control of a candle until the next intersection with another candle?

I already know how to generally add POCs to my candlesticks (by using the "Volume Point of Control for Bars" study) but I couldn't figure out how to extend these POCs.

If it's not possible with the previously mentioned study, what would be the next best way or study to do this?

If a study does not have the option to extend the bar until future intersection built into it, then there are two options, depending on how you want the intersection to work.

1. If you want the intersection to only occur when the item reaches another item of the same type. For instance, the POC of a bar would need to hit another POC (a bar with the POC at the same price). Then refer to the following:
Extend Bar Value Until Future Intersection

2. If you want the intersection to occur with a chart bar, then follow these instructions:

Thanks for the quick reply John! Option no. 2 works perfectly and does exactly what I needed.
