Low Level

FYI
A couple Low Level, not High priority things Ive noticed.

1. When I use a study, and use the "Arrow Up/Dwn", and have the "Tick Offset" set at "Low/High", Ive noticed at a low "Width/Size" it IS at the Low or High ((The tip of the arrow)). BUT as the Width/Size increases, it doesn't stay at the Low or High.
I usually "work around" this by adjusting the offset to the size of the arrow, BUT if I want a LARGE arrow at the LOW/HIGH, this won't work because I want the Price (through the Value Label) at the Low of the bar the arrow is at. I can only achieve all three factors (four if I want the extension line at the Low/High) if offset is Zero, Input Data is Low/High, and my arrow is set at a SMALL level. (I cant have a Large [to differentiate from my other arrows] arrow within these parameters.

2. In these same examples Ive noticed if I use the Extension Lines, and have the Value Label of the arrow at "Right Edge", the line covers up my value. I would think it should stop short if the label is "right edge" or disappear behind the value.

Don't know if there is a way to "work around" these things, but in any case, low level.

Thx

1. What study are you referring to? We need to know a specific study in order to have a look at this.

2. Provide an image of the chart or Trade DOM, by following these instructions:

For me the studies this happens to is typically the "Colored Bar based on Alert Condition". In this particular chart, that study is applied to a Cumulative Study of the Ask/Bid Difference.

1. Here you can see the Yellow Arrow covers up the price bar. The settings are "Input Data=High" and "Ticks offset=0". Any Arrow size set to higher than ~4 covers the price bar. So you can see it truly isn't at the "High".

2. Here you can see the Magenta Arrow not only covers the price bar, but the extension line covers the Value Label. The settings are "Input Data=High" and "Ticks offset=0" and "Value Label=Right Edge" . I need to see the level that the arrow goes off at. Yes, I know I could set the Value Label to the "Values Scale", but I simplified the chart a lot for your view, and that would add to already a lot of labels in the value scale.
Thx

1. There is not anything further we really can do about this because this has to do with the thickness of the Draw Style. Modify the Tick Offset to what you require. You can also create your own custom study.

2. We will solve this. But you also can adjust the vertical alignment of the label to prevent the overlap. Refer to:
