I have tried to find a solution to this problem with Claud, Chat GPT, and Codex models. No Ai model can find a solution to this graphing issue. It's very simple... I need a clean color fill between two different chart lines which also tracks those lines exactly. One model attempted to use additional black color fills to patch over the issues, but that did not work. |

By using four graphs for two fills, instead of two graphs, the up/down color issue can be resolved, but that still does not fix this drawing issue when the crossover is not exactly at the line during the transition.

Here, the issue can be demonstrated just with the moving averages study.

What you are doing is the best that can be done. The underlying issue is that the coloring is set between bars. So when a crossover occurs between bars, the coloring will not change until the next bar starts. This is just built into how Sierra Chart works, and it is not something that could easily change.

Perhaps Transparent Fill Rectangle Top|Bottom would appeal better to you visually. Since price can only move 1 tick at a time, the rectangles might even give you a better below/at/above visual. Other option depending on your needs is to render the fill area to your preference with a custom study. Might even be fun to write a FillSubgraphs custom study that takes 2 subgraphs as inputs. You may not transparency in this case if that matters. ** and I fully understand idea 1 and 2 may not have any appeal for you whatsoever. |

No, would basically need access to mod the actual graphics of Sierra, and you don’t have a direct API available to ASCIL. I could build my own charting platform, but then there is the hassle of getting a live ES feed for just your own program. |

Sierra actually is the closest anyone has to the actual graphical software required for fractal/angular visual charting.
