Hello,

I am developing a custom ACSIL study in Sierra Chart that draws markers using sc.UseTool() with DRAWING_MARKER.

Questions:
1. Is transparency supported for DRAWING_MARKER (Circle/Diamond/Square)?
2. If yes, what is the correct ACSIL property to control marker transparency?
3. If not, is there another drawing type recommended for creating transparent Markers?

No, Transparency is not supported with the Marker drawing tool.

You would need to use the Rectangle tool but this needs to span at least two or more bars.

It would be nice to have transparency option for the drawings using ACSIL
