Hello Sierra Chart Support, I would like to request a new optional setting for the Chart Calculator Tool / Chart Calc. Currently, when using the Chart Calculator Tool, it draws the measurement line and displays values such as percentage change, time difference, and number of bars. However, I would like to have an option to also display a horizontal line extending from the ending point of the Chart Calculator line to the right side of the chart. The desired behavior would be: When the Chart Calculator line ends at a specific price level, a horizontal line can optionally be shown from that endpoint toward the right side of the chart, so the ending price level is easier to see visually. This should be an optional setting, for example: “Show Horizontal Line From End Point” or “Extend Horizontal Line From End Point to Right” When disabled, the Chart Calculator Tool would behave exactly as it does now. When enabled, it would display the additional horizontal line from the endpoint. I have attached screenshots showing the current behavior and the desired behavior. This feature would be useful because it avoids needing to manually draw an additional horizontal line after using the Chart Calculator Tool, and makes it easier to visually compare the measured endpoint with later price action. Thank you. |

We have noted this as a Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request. We do want to point out something of a workaround for what you want to do. You can reference the Anchor points for drawings using the Alert Syntax. Refer to the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Reference by Anchor The "Spreadsheet Formula", despite its name, uses the Alert Syntax, so you can create the line you want by knowing the Drawing Number and the Anchor point you want to reference and then entering a formula like the following: =UDID[121].A2 Where 121 is the drawing number (it will show as -121) and A2 is the end point of the Chart Calculator drawing. You can then adjust the number of bars to display on to get it closer to the drawing, but you will want to have more, so that as more bars are added, your line continues to draw. Refer to the following: Spreadsheet Formula You could also use this in combination with a Spreadsheet Study to get the line exactly where you want it, but we leave that to you if you want to go down that path.
