Post From: How to draw a horizontal line extending from the low of a breako

Hello Sierra Chart Support Team,
I am working on a Spreadsheet Study (Color Bar Based On Alert Condition) to mark breakout candles based on custom conditions.
I have already successfully implemented:
  •  Arrow markers (up/down) above/below candles
  •  Dot markers on candles
However, I am unable to figure out how to draw a horizontal dashed line extending from the Low of the breakout candle to the right, until price touches that level.
Specifically:
  •  The line should be drawn at the Low price of the candle that meets the breakout condition
  •  The line should extend to the right across subsequent bars
  •  The line should stop (or visually end) when a future candle’s Low touches or crosses that price level
Could you please advise:
  1.  Which Draw Style setting in the Subgraphs tab should I use to achieve this?
  2.  Is this possible within a Spreadsheet Study, or does it require an ACSIL (C++) custom study?
  3.  If ACSIL is required, could you point me to the relevant function or example?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards
