Dear Sir or Madame,
 
I think the Tool "Price Retracement" needs a setting, where the User could choose whether he want's to use the automatic detection of "down / up sloping".

The Problem is that you cannot freely choose at which Price level the 0% (start of the price move) should be, and on which Price Level the 100% (end of the price move) should be, because of the automatic behaviour in Sierra described bellow:

If the line is down sloping, then the retracement lines will move upward starting from 0% at the bottommost point and the percentages will increase from this bottommost point.

If the line is up sloping, then the retracement lines will move downward starting from 0% at the topmost point and the percentages will increase from this topmost point.

As stated here:
Chart Drawing Tools: Price Retracement (2 point) | Price Expansion (2 point) | Price Projection (3 point) Tools

What i want to achieve is the following behaviour and are Crucial to have an Edge with Fibo-Retracements:

Problem-1-in-Sierra:
If i set the Retracement as shown in the picture "fibo_retracement_down.png" in Sierra, then the retracement lines will always move upward and the User has no chance to change this.

Problem-2-in-Sierra:
If i set the Retracement as shown in the picture "fibo_retracement_up.png" in Sierra, then the retracement lines will always move downward and the User has no chance to change this.

Also the SWAP Anchors feature does not solve this, which is also strange.

Could you implement / disable this automatic behaviour in Sierra please - so that the User has freedom how to draw the retracements ( like shown on my attached pictures).


Thank you very much.
 
Best Regards

Dear Sir or Madame,

I see that my post was marked as “User Discussion”…

I thought The Sierra Chart you see today was hugely influenced by user-submitted ideas, suggestions, and contributions.

So this is it, no chance of any official statement?


Any Feedback on this request would be appreciated.


Thank you very much.

Best Regards

We have never had anyone ever ask about this before, at least we cannot remember and we are not in a position to be able to be able to support this anytime soon. We really just cannot help.

Now one thing you can do is change the slope of the line in order for the retracement levels to function opposite of the way they currently do.

And then you can set the Chart Values tool to be active with other tools through Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> Chart Values and use the horizontal chart values line to assist with determining the price level you want to set the endpoint at in relation to a bar high or low.

Or possibly we could just add an option to allow the direction to function in the opposite way but that would be an additional cost if you want us to develop this.

Dear Sir or Madame,

Thank you for your response, really appreciate it!

I think that this would be a perfect solution.
How much additional cost this would be? We can talk in private if you prefer.


Thanks.

Best regards

Swapping the anchors will not help.

In response to:

We can do this for 85 USD:

Update to pre-release 1858 following these instructions here:
Software Download: Fast Update

In the Global Settings >> Tool Configurations >>Price Retracement tool dialog there is a new Option named:
Reverse Percentages

That can be enabled and will apply to the next drawn retracement drawing and can be modified on an existing drawing.


Let us know if that meets your requirements. If there any issues or limitations just let us know.

Is there away to prevent the anchor percentages from automatically swapping? I would like my starting anchor to always be 100% regardless of the slope. This is the default behavior for every platform.

We will have to see about adding an option for this. So the first point would be 100%.

Thanks. I see this feature now on 1940 but it doesn't seem do do anything. The first point flips to 0% or 100% depending on slope.
