Here is how I do it with a custom indicator (you will need to change open 
and close times based upon the security and your timeframe):


YH1:= HighestSince(1,( Hour()= 8 AND Minute()=30),HIGH);
YH:= ValueWhen(1,Hour()=15 AND Minute()=15, YH1);
YL1:= LowestSince(1,( Hour()= 8 AND Minute()=30),LOW);
YL:= ValueWhen(1,Hour()=15 AND Minute()=15,     YL1);

YO:= ValueWhen(2,Hour()= 8 AND Minute()=30, OPEN);
YC:= ValueWhen(1,Hour()=15 AND Minute()=15,         CLOSE);

PP:= (YH + YC + YL + YO) / 4;
S1:= (2 * PP) - YH;
S2:= PP - YH + YL;
R1:= (2 * PP) - YL;
R2:= PP + YH - YL

HTH,
