Delayed Opening Price Line with GuardrailsThis Delayed Opening Price Line with Guardrails indicator will draw 5 price level lines on the chart each day, beginning at the open of the first candle after a delay period specified by the user in the indicator settings. The default delay is 30 minutes from market open.
The lines are drawn at the open price of the first candle after the delay period, and then a specified increment above and below that price level. These increments default to 80 and 100, and can be adjusted in the indicator settings.
Most markets, indices, and equities have a finite and consistent range of price movement within a trading day. Eg. a particular stock may usually move no more that $50 up or down in a given day, which can be proven by looking at a historical chart. This indicator allows the user to quickly display that range on the chart once it's been defined.
Important note: This indicator is designed to be used on an intra-day chart - eg. minutes, or hourly. It will give an error if used on a longer time-frame chart.
