John: I am sorry that I didn't follow up sooner with this- I wanted to test something for awhile first, then it went downstream. To refresh what it was about: in the Trading Levels Study, to create a zone, I select Transparent Fill Top for the top level of the zone, & Transparent Fill Bottom for the bottom level. It makes a nice shaded extended rectangle, basically, which is used to show a Support/Resistance "area" vs. a single price level. What had been happening, is that occasionally, for no clear reason, the Transparent Fill Top/Bottom styles would revert back to "line" for all 4 zones (8 levels)... & I would have to go back through & individually change them back & save the study again. Since your reply back in July, I tested setting the customized Trading Levels Study as 'default'. I haven't had the problem again since. If I could tell you what variable changed when it would do this, I would (for example, new contract or something. I have not been able to figure out the cause- & it would also not change for every chart the TL Study was place on. So it was baffling, & sometimes very annoying, as it takes time to manually change all 8 levels of draw styles, one at a time. No matter what the issue is- for the past 3 months to the day- it has not happened again, & this was something that had been going on intermittently for years now. Lastly, & I might also submit this as a new ticket/request... I create my levels using spreadsheets & Excel, then save the sheet w/ the levels as a .csv. I open the text file & select all of the level prices, copy them, then go into the Trading Levels Backend input page, paste them in, then return to or open the chartbook, & recalculate. What we would like to see in an updated version of this study, is the ability for the TL study to be pointed to a .csv file from the settings. The .csv file is updated/replaced when saving the levels from the Excel Spreadsheet. This saves a lot of time manually opening the file, carefully copying just the numbers needed, logging into SC's TL Study backend, editing the field, pasting the new levels in, then saving the page, double checking that it 'took'. When doing this for more than one market- it can be quite time consuming, even with a routine. Currently, we use this exact method in MotiveWave & Jigsaw Daytradr. A macro has been created to export the new levels every day from Excel to a .csv file with one 'click', so once Excel has done it's work - Excel can be closed & the levels are now on the charts on those two platforms. In MW, it is through a study called "Cloud Levels".. In Daytrader, it is accessed through the Settings on each instance of a DOM, on a page called "Load Levels". Attached are screenshots of each to illustrate. Hopefully this method can be added to the Trading Levels Study as an option, versus this being a suggestion to replace the current method for placing levels in the Study. If it would be better for me to submit this separately, as to get other's feedback, I am happy to do so. Just let me know. Thank you, & make a great day! ~ Ben Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-10-14 17:02:01
