Check in your NT8 Indicator section as it should show up as Prior Day OHLC

You can’t plot the daily ohlc levels on a daily chart! Can you explain what you are trying to achieve?

I believe that's what he is trying to achieve...plot the prior day's OHLC onto the current day's (non-intraday) chart.

You may try asking your question in the NT forums. The answer seems like it would be something simple, but I don't really deal with NT indicators, and don't have the time to figure it out.

Daily levels on an intraday chart appears as, well, levels. Daily levels plotted on a daily chart will appear as zig-zaggy lines - a complete mess and frankly a waste of time.

I guess the OP has a different opinion.

You need to use a lower time frame chart, like a 5 min, 60 min chart for the indicator to work.

I interpreted the OP as realizing this; and wanting to know how to "make it work" on the daily chart. (Via modifying the code??).

I haven't dealt with coding indicators much; but it doesn't sound like a difficult indicator to make...even from scratch.

I'm surprise one doesn't already come standard with NT.

Is sounds like you are trying to get an Average Trading Range. The OHLC is only for the previous day, not days. I am not sure what information you are trying to obtain?. I could
