Dear sir, I' m building a custom Numbers Bars indicator, currently I' m plotting various levels of price with Tool Structure(Rectangle Type), but I have a problem. For exemple I need to plot a Rectangle with the following properties: Start Time = the beginning of the bar End Time = half space between current bar and the next bar I tried, but maybe Start/End time is dipendent to Bar' s Y Scale so it' s not possible. I tried in this way: double time_1 = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index - 1].GetTime(); double time_2 = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetTime(); double med_tim = (time_1 + time_2) / 2; Tool.BeginDateTime = COMBINE_DATE_TIME(sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetDate(), med_tim); Tool.EndDateTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index]; I tested operations with debug and they are correct. What am I doing wrong? Thx in advance. Bye.

This is definitely not supported: End Time = half space between current bar and the next bar You have to look at using one of the available Subgraph Draw Styles instead: ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: sc.Subgraph[].DrawStyle Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Sorry sir, but I saw your numbers bars indicator and I think that you plot boxes trough Tool Structure, also because there aren' t other possibility. But in your indicator there two different boxes between two bars and you do what I need. How can I do the same thing? I have already read drawstyle, but there would be the same problem. Bye

The Numbers Bars study does not use Drawing Tools at all and ACSIL does not provide the capability to do the same things. Can you provide a screenshot which highlights what you are looking for specifically in a Numbers Bars chart. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

So you want to be able to do 2 Box Top and Box Bottom drawings at the same chart bar and offset them from the center of the bar? So we would need a left aligned and a right aligned version of these.

Re Post 6: this would be a really useful addition.

In addition or as an alternative, the ability when using a tool structure to have an EndIndex that is a fraction would be very useful e.g. Tool.EndIndex = sc.Index +(or -) 0.5

There is zero percent chance of post #9. The best we can do is add new Draw Styles for left and right offset Box Top and Box Bottom. Let us know if that would work. Otherwise, there are no plans to add anything else. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I would need what I wrote in post #9. But if adding offset in draw style is the best you can do, I will be very happy. Thx. Let me know when relase will exit.

Could this offset also be supported for Fill Top and Fill Bottom draw styles please?

We can only add new Draw Styles. We cannot do post #12. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Dear sir, you wrote that there is zero percent chance of post #9. But you have also to understand our needs, in fact it' s very difficult to analyze volume without the possibility to have two boxes, one for Buyers and the other one for Sellers. I also need to build a custom volume profile based in one bar length, and it' s impossible to do because I should have the possibility of set End Index of Tool structure as fraction. There is very strange that there is zero percent of chance, also because you already do what I wrote above with your indicators. I also think that it could be usefull for a lot of people, and it would be a good improvement for Sierra Chart. Thank you. Bye Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-11-14 13:44:24

Re post 12 could new offset left and offset right fill top and fill bottom be added?

No. We are not sure how that would even work. Those are very complex Draw Styles. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
