input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;

def prevPrice = open(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1];
def price = open(period = aggregationPeriod);
plot DailyOpen = if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(prevPrice) then Double.NaN else price;

DailyOpen.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(2));

Thanks guys....works perfectly for the future that is loaded......I tried to change the script up a bit to addess a secondary future but with no luck.

Any ideas changing up the script to give me both CL and NG for example ?

I sincerely appreciate your ideas.
