Thanks, i'll have a look at it.
Friendly tone might get lost here in written text but I know the
opening range will not work for this. This is more simplistic. Just offset lines from the Current Day Open to create colored zones. This is just a visual aid to put on my multi-market monitor (say that five times fast!) so I can glance over and see where a secondary market is currently relative to the open, based on a background color.
Essentially just trying to gradient color a few zones for any given day.
If you could post a graphical example of what you want that would help.
You could also use this free indicator:

Threw this together real quick.
I tested it on FX data as it's all I have connected. However, if I did it correctly it should offset properly on futures(like in ur image). If it does not let me know.

Forrestang you are the man!! thank you!!
Works perfectly on futures as well.
Is it a pain to have the areas between each level be a colored zone?

eXCELLENT!
I can draw a box... Although drawing a box would mean it couldn't have infinity as the upper limit? So you wouldn't be able to have 300 above the open to infinity.
THere may be a way to shade specific areas of a chart using the SharpDK tools in NT, but I would have to figure that out as I haven't used it much myself.
But if drawing boxes, it would look like THIS indicator visually(just with the boxes).

Works for me!
What if you did a box for the first three and then the from level 3 upwards no box, would that solve the upper infinity issue?
I would be happy with even shading the area between level 1 up/down

It's a halfway decent indicator now so I've added it to the DOWNLOADS section.
Happy hunting!
