Crosshair on steroids

Hi, I use the global crosshair tool a lot, often in the global mode to check support or resistance levels through charts. I also use it to see how far are eventual stops and targets. I would really like to have a crosshair tool where I can add other parallels lines at determined values. So when I drag my crosshair around I can readily see also how far are, for example, 10 ticks over and 10 ticks under the pointed value. Would it be possible for me to code this in acsil? Otherwise is that a feature you would consider to implement? Many thanks Mauro |

We really are completely clear what you are looking for. There is a Parallel Lines drawing tool you can use: Chart Drawing Tools: Parallel Lines But certainly you can do this type of development with ACSIL to some extent.

Thank you for your suggestion. I think I wasn't clear about what I am actually looking for. The more appropriate question is if it is possible to program in acsil a custom crosshair tool. I am not talking about a "static" drawing on the chart like the parallel lines, but a custom crosshair that follows the mouse movements on the screen like the crosshair does. Thank you again for your patience. Mauro |

You can try. This is the page to refer to: Advanced Custom Study Interaction With Menus, Control Bar Buttons, Pointer Events And refer to: ACSIL Programming Concepts: Custom Free Form Drawing into Chart Window Using GDI (Graphics Device Interface) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I have been looking to develop this for a while and I also asked to some of the programmers that advertise their service on this site but they all say they can't do it just using ACSIL. I 'll try again to make a case for this tool, praying that the developers at Sierra see its value and integrate the idea on future versions. My Ideal custom crosshair should have 2 extra parallel horizontal lines, one on the top and one the bottom of the main line. The Offset should be set by fixed point or percentage. And of course it would be nice to be able to change the color and the style of the lines. With such a tool you can very fast check where your targets and stops would be located directly in the crosshair. I attached an image to illustrate the idea Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-17 18:14:49
