Hello Support. I'm trying to setup the Initial Balance Study in my charts and I can't find a way for the lines (IB High, Low, Mid) to start just showing after the first RTH hour, period in which the Initial Balance is not yet defined. It doesn't make sense having the lines showing in the first hour (or IB period), because they are always over the OHLC Study lines and becomes messy. What am I doing wrong here?

That is the way the study is setup. Attached is an an example of how to work around this using the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to set the time where you want to hide the lines and then coloring the line the same as the background. Refer to the following for how to use a Study Collection: Study Collections: Using a Study Collection Provided by Sierra Chart Support The other option would be to modify the source code of the study to get what you want from it.

Thank you for your reply. Just for future reference, I've found a solution for getting the issue sorted: - "High/Low for Time Range Study" for the High and Low lines of the range; - "Study Subgraphs Average Study" referencing the study above for getting the mid point line. |

We saw that we had not included the Study Collection, in case someone else wanted to use that method. So we have added it to the post where it should have been.
