Hello,
I need help finishing a script I pieced off of here. I want to plot the high, low and then 25%, 50% and 75%of the opening 30 minute range. The script I have pasted does this but then it goes to the next 30 minutes and plots the high, low etc. of that and so on and so on as the pic I have attached shows. I just want the first 30 minutes plotted and then for those levels to extend for the rest of the day. Any help is appreciated. The way I plan to use this is those levels tend to be important levels the rest of the day, especially the 50% mark. It is based off the Michael Shadkin rules.



plot hod = high(period = AggregationPeriod.THIRTY_MIN);
hod.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(245, 127, 23));

plot lod = low(period = AggregationPeriod.THIRTY_MIN);
lod.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(245, 127, 23));

def range = hod - lod;

plot hod764 = (range * 0.75) + lod;
hod764.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(251, 192, 45));

plot lod236 = (range * 0.25) + lod;
lod236.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(251, 192, 45));

plot mid50 = (range * 0.5) + lod;
mid50.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(255, 235, 59));


hod.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
lod.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
hod764.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
lod236.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
mid50.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

The issue is that your aggregation period is simply looking at the 30 minute time buckets. You need to delineate which 30 minute period you are interested in. Check out this well commented example from reddit:
 
Code
input opentime = 0930;
input ORend = 1000;
input opacity = .7;
def na = Double.NaN;
#
# Check if the opening range time is now
#
def ORActive = if GetLastDay() == GetDay() and SecondsFromTime(opentime) >= 0 and SecondsFromTime(ORend) < 
0 then 1 else 0;
#
# Track the OR high and low
#
def ORHigh = if ORActive then high else na;
def ORLow = if ORActive then low else na;
#
# Plot the OR high and low
#
plot ORAH = if GetLastDay() != GetDay() or !ORActive then na else HighestAll(ORHigh);
plot ORAL = if GetLastDay() != GetDay() or !ORActive then na else LowestAll(ORLow);
plot ORH = if GetLastDay() != GetDay() or SecondsFromTime(ORend) < 0 then na else HighestAll(ORHigh);
plot ORL = if GetLastDay() != GetDay() or SecondsFromTime(ORend) < 0 then na else LowestAll(ORLow);
#
# Formatting
#
ORAH.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
ORAL.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
ORAH.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
ORAL.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
ORH.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
ORL.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
ORH.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
ORL.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
#
# Add Cloud creates the shading
#
AddCloud(ORH, ORL);
AddCloud(ORAL, ORAH);
#
# Alerts:
#
def alerttrigger = if (high >= ORH and low <= ORH) or (high >= ORL and low <= ORL) then 1 else 0; #replace the 1 with 
your definition
# BLOCK CODE BELOW
input alerttext = "OR Breakout!";
input UseAlerts = {false, default true};
input AlertType = {default "BAR", "ONCE", "TICK"};
def at = AlertType;
input AlertSound = {"Bell", "Chimes", default "Ding", "NoSound", "Ring"};
Alert(alerttrigger and UseAlerts, alerttext, if at == 1 then Alert.ONCE else if at == 2 then Alert.TICK else Alert.BAR, 
AlertSound);
modify that with your fibs, desired colors, and painting styles and voila!
