I want to display a vertical line either on an existing indicator or the entire 5 min chart(like a verticl drawing tool) This vertical line will display at the last CLOSED bar and not the current bar that is still being built and has not yet closed After the current bar closes this vertical line will advance 1 bar Any suggestions on how I may be able to configure existing tools/studies to achieve the above? Thanks

Try this: Add the Spreadsheet Study study: - Set the Chart Region to 1 - Give it a name in the Spreadsheet Name field. - On the Subgraphs tab, set the Draw Style of SG1 to Background and the Width to 2 - Press OK and OK On the spreadsheet: Put this formula in cell K3: =ROW()=4 You can minimize the spreadsheet.

If you are using ACSIL, this is quite simple. Use a Subgraph Draw Style of Background and then just simply set that Subgraph Data at the sc.ArraySize - 2 index to 1. As new bars are added you will have to clear this 1 value at prior bars. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
