Hello, I am trying to determine whether there is a supported, non-ACSIL method to display a vertical line at the Date-Time of the currently forming bar, which: -Updates automatically as new bars are added -Is Date-Time based (not price based) -Extends through all chart regions (Region 1 and additional regions 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1769689765706.png The intended use is to complete a time-based session / time-zone clock, where different chart regions represent different market sessions (Asia, London, New York, overlaps). A continuously updating vertical line would visually indicate which session the current chart Date-Time is within. I understand that: -Current Price Line is price-based and horizontal only -Time Line at Time places a fixed vertical line and does not update -Vertical Line drawing tools are static and manual Before proceeding with ACSIL, I would like to confirm: -Whether any existing study or chart setting can reference the current bar Date-Time to draw a vertical marker -Whether the platform exposes a built-in “current bar” vertical reference similar in concept to the Current Price Line If not, confirmation that this functionality is only achievable via a custom ACSIL study If ACSIL is required, confirmation of the recommended approach (e.g. retrieving the current bar Date-Time and drawing a vertical line that spans all regions) would be appreciated. Thank you. |
