Post From: Is there ACSIL way to mark Support/Resistance zones in the Label Column area?

Hello,

I would like to create a custom study that would mark Support and Resistance zones by some criteria. With help of s_UseTool I can place rectangles on the chart. Since I like placing trades via Chart Trading I would like to see these zones marked in the Label Column. The issue I see (please correct me if I'm wrong here) is that subgraph can't produce zone as result, it can have single value only. If such functionality is not part of ACSIL yet, I believe it would be great addition. Making 60 single-value subgraphs to mark tick values in few zones would be headache to manage for any user.

If I may suggest, each zone can be marked by 2 values: its middle and its width in ticks. To trigger this way of marking I would use special value in sc.Subgraph[].DrawStyle. Perhaps, that would be a way to mark them with minimum effort. And such functionality is already in current code base: sc.Subgraph[].Data[], sc.Subgraph[].DrawStyle and sc.LineWidth. :) The only missing part is to present it in main chart area as well as in the Label Column somehow colored / transparent.

Please find attached similar idea implemented in Bookmap (grey zones beside price)

Thanks and best regards
