% Chg LinesThis indicator is designed to visually represent percentage changes from the previous day's close.
1. Percentage Change Lines : The core function of the script is to apply lines to the chart that represent specific percentage changes from the previous day's closing price. It can display up to five different percentage levels, ranging from 0.50% to 2.50% by default but the user can set any value that they wish. This feature allows users to quickly gauge how the current price is performing relative to the previous day's close.
2. Customizable Inputs : Users have the flexibility to customize the script through various inputs. This includes the option to display lines only for the current trading day (`todayonly`), and to select which specific percentage change levels to plot (`show_pct1` to `show_pct5`).
3. Dynamic Calculation : The script dynamically calculates the previous day's closing price by making a request security call and uses it as a baseline to determine the percentage change levels.
% Change = (y2-y1)/y1*100
4. Positive and Negative Changes : It plots both positive and negative percentage changes, allowing users to see areas of potential resistance and support based on historical closing data.
This script is can be used by all traders for any market. The trader might have to adjust the %Chg input amount, but most financial instruments do see "reactions" at certain % intervals.

+ Time Weighted Average PriceThis is basically NeoButane's script (which should be more popular than it is) with a few additions, those being primarily plotted lines of the closing price of the previous TWAP, however I've also added the optionality of plotting a second TWAP of say, maybe a different resolution if you are so inclined. Also, you may plot shapes across the top or bottom of your chart color based on if current price is above or below the previous closing price of the TWAP, in case you might want to clean the chart up a bit and not plot the actual closing price lines.
But what is TWAP, exactly, you might be saying to yourself. If you're familiar with VWAP then you've probably a pretty good idea of what this is and how it works. TWAP is a calculation that defines the weighted average price over a specific time period. Traders use TWAP as a trading strategy, or more specifically, an execution strategy, to place large orders without excessively impacting the market price. They break down the large orders into several sets of small orders priced near TWAP. Basically it's VWAP but without the volume element, and most traders will likely use it in a similar fashion as they might use VWAP, and that is like a moving average--dynamic support and resistance.
I like to think of it as displaying a price range over a specified time period (such as a month or a week). This is why I think the closes of the previous period or two are so important. Losing the previous closing price or regaining it can often give you an inclination as to whether at least some of the next period (the one you're currently in) may be bearish or bullish.

And here's the same image with just the closing price for the time period plotted.
Enjoy!
