HELLO, AUTO SNAP DOES NOT PERFORM GOOD ENOUGH FOR VERY FAST MARKETS AND SHORT TIME FRAMES BY MISSING THE ATTACHMENT LOCATION. TIMING IS EVERYTHING - SO BY RE-DOING THE SNAP MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW I LOOSE THE TIME AND REASON TO DO SO. I TRIED TO MANIPULATE MULTIPLE SETTINGS BUT NOT HELPFUL. CURRENTLY I HAVE AUTOSNAP SENSITIVITY TO "2", INCLUDE OPEN/CLOSE TO "NO", AUTO SNAP ON CREATION "ON", AUTO SNAP ON ADJUST "ON" I WANT: AUTO SNAP TO "HIGH" OR "LOW" ONLY - MUST BE WIDER AREA MAGNETISM (WAY MORE - LIKE FEW OR SEVERAL CANDLES/ BARS LEFT AND RIGHT, AREA UP AND DOWN) SO YOU CAN REALLY SNAP IT ON THE GO WITH FIRST ATTEMPT TO AREA HIGH OR AREA LOW. MAY BE THERE IS SOME SETTING I'M MISSING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT'S THE CASE. OTHERWISE WOULD YOUR PROGRAMMERS BE ABLE TO FINE TUNE THIS ONE? PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THANKS |

You need to set your "Auto Snap Sensitivity" higher. You need to play with the particular number to find what works for you. Refer to the following: Chart Drawing Tools: Drawing Tool AutoSnap Sensitivity Percentage (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Snapping) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

HELLO, NOPE DIDN'T WORK - I WENT UP TO EVEN 80.. WHAT HAPPENS IS IT IS WORKING VERTICALLY STRONGER - YOU CAN CLICK 1 MM LEFT FROM RAPID TOP AND IT SNAPS LIKE HALF A MILE DOWN TO THE NEXT CANDLE - COMPLETELY OFF... IT SHOULD BE WORKING AS RADIUS AROUND THE CLICK SITE (IF ANY HIGH OR LOW IS IN NEAR BY - IT SHOULD SNAP TO IT. THERE REALLY SHOULD SINGLE CLICK 100% CORRECT SNAP. IT IS VERY BAD WITH HIGH NUMBERS FEELS LIKE IT INCREASES VERTICALLY NOT HORIZONTALLY. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT THANKS UPDATE: YES THE SNAP FEATURE WORKS VERTICALLY, I JUST TRIED 98 IT SNAPS LIKE CRAZY 100% VERTICALLY ONLY.. MILES AWAY.. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-05-22 03:21:09

There definitely is not anything wrong with this functionality. If you are having an issue with automatic tool drawing snapping, the first thing to do is to disable it. We need to see a screenshot of the chart to understand this better.

Thanks a lot, I really didn even try to uncheck the snap feature. I just unchecked and I like it better for now. On the other hand what I was trying to tell is if I'm were slowly analyzing like static chart with not moving large candles I'm pretty sure there's is no problem to get it precisely. But in my quest I was trying to achieve it on the fly with crazy market speeds. Anyway the snap worked only vertically, for example to snap to high you must have the cursor vertically on exact candle. Please try and see, if it's snaps also forward and backward, it should.
