SC,

I note it is possible to manually draw horizontal lines on the Numbers Bars and TPO charts.

Is it possible therefore to plot or overlay on the Numbers Bar charts or TPO charts, horizontal lines representing:

1. the current price level of VWAP (plus top and bottom bands) from the Volume Weighted Average Price Study?

2. the current price level of the value area high and low from the VbP Study?

These lines would rise and fall according to real-time changes in the values of these parameters.

If lines are not possible, can the real-time values be displayed on the Y-axis of either of these charts?

Thanks and regards,

Rod

The prior message from us was hidden because there is some additional information we wanted to provide after we thought about this some more.


Very simply you just add the studies you want to use to the chart and configure them as you have specified. This is all that you need to do.

However, in the case of the Volume Weighted Average Price study, it is not a horizontal line. How to do a horizontal line with that is not within the scope of our support. It should be possible, but there is not straightforward support for this.

However, you can set the Draw Style for the VWAP Subgraph to Subgraph Name and Value Labels Only. Here is the documentation for this:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartStudies.html#DrawStyle

The Volume by Price study has a Draw Mode input to draw only the Value Area High and Low and Point of Control lines. You can set the Draw Style for the POC to Ignore to hide that.

The only exception is if you are using the TPO Profile Chart study, you cannot use other studies on the chart other than the Volume by Price study. Refer to:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TPOVolProfileCharts.html#UsingOtherStudies


Although it is possible to overlay studies from other charts onto a TPO Profile Chart. This is explained here:
