I know there is outside bar & inside bar pre-built. Is there a way to highlight when there is a 3rd bar, which is still inside from bar 1 (outside bar)? So it would go outside/inside/inside…there could be 3,4,5 more inside bars. Just all bars being inside candle 1. I’m making do with the pre-built a but it would help to have what I’m looking for highlighted as I’m tabbing through charts. Would love if I could highlight the whole pattern with an extending rectangle type of thing, which is what I do manually a lot of times.

I hope that my question is understandable. Thx

There is nothing built into the system that does exactly what you are wanting.

You might be able to put this together using the Spreadsheet Study.

Or the other option is to start with the Outside Bar source code and modify it to fit your needs. The Outside Bar study is located in the "Studies.cpp" file located in your "ACS_Source" folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder. Refer to the following:

Okay. Understood. Definitely no coding or anything close to coding in my background but I may give it a go. Thx
