Daily open won't chart on current day

Right now I'm just trying to chart the days open as a horizontal line on an intraday chart.

Open = security(syminfo.tickerid, 'D', open)
plot(Open)

But for some reason it's plotting the previous days open price on the current days intraday chart. This doesn't happen on a daily chart.

Maybe there's something I'm missing, or maybe I can offset the plot by the amount of candles per day.

Your code will work in the realtime bar, but on historical bars, unless you use lookahead as we do here for Open2, security() will return the value of the last completed higher TF bar.

Be very careful with the use of lookahead; if you use it to retrieve prices other than open, your script will be accessing future data on historical bars, which is misleading.

//@version=4
study("", "", true)
Open = security(syminfo.tickerid, 'D', open)
Open2 = security(syminfo.tickerid, 'D', open, lookahead = true)
plot(Open)
plot(Open2, "Daily Open", color.fuchsia)
