I can't seem to find the documentation related to this. I need it to figure out why 90% of the draw styles like diamond/triangle/etc from "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" is not appearing and what those styles actually are (instead of guessing from the name). Thank you. Edit: I managed to find the Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Draw Style here however, most styles don't work (color does though) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-06-11 14:07:58

Some items, such as "Color Bar" or "Point on High" do not have any connection to the price level. These are drawn relative to the item they reference - i.e. the bar itself, or the High of the bar. Other items, such as Diamond, Triangle, etc. are drawn at the level specified by the Input for "Output When Condition True". If this is left at "1" (the default) then when the condition is true, the item (diamond, triangle, etc.) is drawn at a price level of 1.00, which you would not see. Therefore, you need to ensure that the option for "Output when Condition True" is set to something that will allow you to see the item you want to see.

I see, now it works. However, how do I identify what drawstyles are "Boolean" type so I don't have to guess? It is necessary to use Use Input Data when you want to use a Draw Style other than the boolean Draw Styles such as Color Bar. The other styles require an actual chart value to vertically position them on the chart.

These are not specifically called out in any way. So you do have to guess, a little. In general, it is fairly obvious which ones are "boolean" and which are not. Items that do not need anything additional to be defined fall into this "boolean" category, such as "...on High" or "...on Low" and the "Color Bar". Any item that would require a value in order to know where to draw it is not.
