Hi, I am having an issue with the Draw Anchored VWAP tool. When I first place an Anchored VWAP on the chart, everything works correctly: * The small square anchor handle is visible. * I can drag the anchor left or right very easily. * The Anchored VWAP also appears in Tools > Manage Chart Drawings Window. The problem starts after I save/load a Study Collection. After loading the Study Collection: * The VWAP lines are still visible. * The VWAP study still exists in Analysis > Studies. * I can still manually change the Start Date-Time from the study settings. * However, the Anchored VWAP no longer appears in Manage Chart Drawings Window. * The small square anchor handle disappears. * Left/right mouse interaction with the anchor no longer works. * Therefore I lose the very useful ability to quickly drag the VWAP anchor left or right on the chart. I tested several things: * Support Left Click To Select Chart Drawings = Yes * Square Drawing Anchors = Yes * Enable Drawn Volume Profile Selection = Yes * Saving the VWAP as a single Study Collection * Saving it as part of a multi-study collection * Loading collections while trying to preserve existing studies * Creating a separate VWAP Study Collection for the Draw Anchored VWAP tool None of these preserve the Anchored VWAP drawing object after the Study Collection is loaded. ! The important point is that the VWAP study remains, but the Anchored VWAP drawing/anchor object is removed. ? Is there a supported way to keep the Anchored VWAP drawing object and its draggable square anchor when loading Study Collections? ? If not, could this be considered for a fix or enhancement? The draggable anchor is much more practical than manually editing the Start Date-Time in Study Settings every time. I am currently using Sierra Chart version 2952. Thank you. |

We are not able to reproduce exactly what you are stating you are seeing. One of the things to keep in mind is that the Drawn VWAP (along with the Drawn Volume Profile) tool is just a quick way to add a VWAP study to the chart. It is not actually a drawing in and of itself. So when you use that tool, a VWAP study is added to the chart. Therefore, if you load a Study Collection, that study collection is going to remove, or add to, that VWAP study - depending on whether you are removing the existing studies or not based on the setting for the Study Collection. What we see is the following when adding the Study Collection: - When the study collection is loaded and other studies are removed, the drawn VWAP is removed. - When the study collection is loaded and other studies are to stay on the chart, then the drawn VWAP stays on the chart and the square anchor stays displayed. We wonder if what you are seeing is a VWAP that is part of the Study Collection being placed on the chart while the "Drawn VWAP" is actually being removed.
