I copied the dll in the Sierra folder and the cpp in the ACS_Source folder, but I still cannot see the box when I load the R:R tool. Could you help user431178 please? Thank you

Do you mean the data folder? cpp is not required
Did you add the study to the chart?

Sorry, my mistake: the dll was copied to the main Sierra folder rather than data. Now the box appears but only on the last instance, meaning if there are several boxes in order to show past trades, only the most recent will show the box. Is that normal?

Copy the dll to the Data folder, then in the Studies window click the Add Custom Study button, choose Risk Reward Box and click the Add button. Now when you click the Reward/Risk Tool you will see the box.

Yes, if you are using the box version, try the augmentation version instead.

Yes, but then I don't have the transparency option. Box will do for now while waiting for your updated GDI version, hahaha! Thanks a lot again.
I only wonder if any of the Sierrachart people have read any of these late posts????

User @User431178 , assuming you wrote the RiskReward.cpp, maybe better implement it using the tool "Price Expansion Tool"?
Please see the attached pic.
Thanks

Yes, I wrote it and yes, I could do that.
Maybe I will when I have some time.

would be amazing, the "Price Expansion Tool" is more powerful.
(under the 0% line would be nice to display in real time the current R/R etc etc)
Thanks

Many thanks User431178 and thank you for providing the source code too.
The augmentation code was a great introduction to GDI for me and it was relatively straightforward to turn the rectangles into extending rectanagles so they don't disappear off the screen.
Much appreciated

I start using it & so far so good. Can you change to make the text adjustable? For my 5.5K resolution, the text is very small.
Thanks for your hard work.

any way that this could be integrated as soon as you put out an order? Like an OCO
