Hello, Yesterday I was working with rectangles and needed to change the order of their layers. So I went to the Manage Chart Drawing Window and looked for the Move Up and Move Down buttons (just like it works with studies). To my surprise, however, I couldn’t find these buttons anywhere. So I looked through the documentation and found out that the current version of Sierra Chart doesn’t support changing the layer order of chart drawings. This is a standard feature in most trading platforms. You can find it, for example, in TradingView or NinjaTrader (see my screenshots). Could you please add this functionality? Ideally, it would be great to be able to change the layer order not only in the Manage Chart Drawing Window but also directly on the chart via the Chart Drawing Menu. A context menu with options like Bring to Front, Send to Back, Bring Forward, and Send Backward would make performing changes really simple. Thank you for considering this suggestion. |

You are correct, this is something that is not available in Sierra Chart. We have noted this as a Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular feature. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
