Hi, I would like to write a script that looks at all the user drawn tools on a chart and outputs their properties to a file. Is it possible ? Does anyone have an existing template that does this, or could make it easier ?
Many thanks in advance...

This means your copy of Sierra Chart is not up-to-date.

We see you are running a very old version of Sierra Chart.

Thanks. I was able to use the example code in studies.cpp but getting some weird output. I'm able to get the correct values for the dates but the values from DrawingObject.BeginValue etc are all off and dont correspond to prices on the chart.

Could you please point me in the right direction. Thanks much !


DrawingObject.UseRelativeVerticalValues = 0;
while( sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing(sc.ChartNumber, DRAWING_REWARD_RISK, DrawingObject, DrawingIndex) )
  {
      
    SCDateTime entryDate, exitDate;
    float entryPx, stopPx, exitPx;
      
    entryDate = DrawingObject.EndDateTime;
    exitDate = DrawingObject.ThirdDateTime;
    
    entryPx = DrawingObject.EndValue;
    stopPx = DrawingObject.BeginValue;
    exitPx = DrawingObject.ThirdValue;
