Horizontal Ray/Color Bar based on Alert Condition

Trying simply to draw a horizontal ray from either the High or Low of a Bar (my selection) that extends to the far right of the chart if an alert condition is met. Don't want it to stop at the first intersection. I've figured out how to add just about every annotation using the Color Bar based on Alert Condition, except this. Thanks.

The Color Bar Based on Alert Condition can draw an extension line but it will stop at the first intersection.

We can add the capability though for it not to stop and instead go all the way to the end.

That would be great. On some alerts I would like to draw the line from the High, others from the Low. If that isn't possible, drawing from the Close would work OK.

We have added a new option to the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study to allow the selection of whether the Extension Lines will extend to a Future Intersection or to the End of the Chart. Look for this in the next Pre-Release (1766). Usually, it takes a day or two for the new release to be available. You can find the current release version listed on the main Sierra Chart webpage (https://www.sierrachart.com/) on the top right side.

When available, you can update using the instructions here:

In terms of being able to draw the line at one location or another, that has not changed. Refer to the following for information on how to change the location of the line:
