Hi, I am trying to show the mid point of each bar in a P&F chart using the (H+L)*0.5 formula but the markers sit on different levels, why? Thanks.

Please get us an image of what you are referring to, where the levels are different for a bar of the same height. Be sure to let us know exactly what bars to look at.

https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1781554226763.png Bar period type is: Point and Figure Bar (BoxSize in ticks-ReversalSize); the graph Draw type is: Point and Figure Bars. As you can see, the middle point of each bar is almost always missed by the red dashes. It is something related to point&figure because bar-mid is correctly marked if I select candlestick bars (or HL bars atc.) as graph draw type or if I keep it as P&F bars and select any bar period type (time based, volume etc.) but NOT P&F bars. As I understand it, the midpoints shown are correct but they do not relate to the bars I see in the chart. But this is what I would like to see: the middle point of each bar the way each bar is painted in the chart. Is it possible? |

Point and Figure Bars are drawn differently from a standard bar. Trading may not have actually occurred at the extremes due to how those bars are formed. Refer to the following regarding this: Point and Figure Chart: Why Point & Figure Columns Do Not have the Same High/Low As The Underlying Bars Therefore, using the underlying bar High and Low will not give you the middle of the Point and Figure Bar. You need to use the ID0.SG22 (P&F Bar High) and ID0.SG23 (P&F Bar Low) to get what you want. So your formula would be the following: =(ID0.SG22 + ID0.SG23) * 0.5 For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
