Thanks for your reply, tomgilb.

You have two questions, yet your two example chartbooks use the same name, so that makes it difficult for others to help.

To the 1st Q Sierra Chart Engineering clearly answered, that it's not supported, so you could ignore that Q.


In both cases, you'll need to set 'Fill Blanks With Last Value' to Yes.
To avoid the lines to the end of the chart
It doesn't display to the end of the chart for me

Why in the 1st case lines are plotted to the end of the chart for you, and in the 2nd case not with 'Fill Blanks With Last Value' set to Yes?
They are plotted to the end of the chart for me, no matter what source chart I use.

Source intraday chart with 0-60-0 Days-Mins-Secs Per Bar setting: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1628532446521.png

So, this is a bug in a study?


To avoid the lines to the end of the chart, a workaround is to use formulas in the Spreadsheet Study study to limit the plotting to a specific day.
But if you want to limit the plotting to certain days or times of day, a workaround is to use formulas in the Spreadsheet Study study.

I absolutely don't feel like defining formulas, and I need to have a quick way to change that specific day, which I can achieve by changing date range in the source chart.


Maybe if it were known the full extent of what you are trying to do that a better solution could be offered.

All I want is to see pivot points as solid lines on the chart for a specific day, no matter what source chart is (1-0-0 or 0-60-0). I thought that is the purpose of Study/Price Overlay study. I'm very surprised there are problems doing it.
