with the senkou span a&b I want the cloud to be see-thru green and see-thru red so I can clearly see the bars traveling thru it. how to do so, because I read a forum post on here about it but I cant seem to find what they are saying 'semi transparent' option

There are two things you want to do. The first is to set the study that is creating the cloud to draw behind the main price graph. To do this, go to the settings for that study and select the option for Draw Study Underneath Main Price Graph. Refer to the documentation for this here:
Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Draw Study Underneath Main Price Graph (in the same Chart Region)

The second one is to change the Draw Style for the subgraphs that are creating the cloud to Transparent Fill Top and Transparent Fill Bottom. That will fill the cloud in as a transparency based on the Transparency Level for Fill Styles setting. These items are on the Subgraphs tab of the settings for the study. Refer to the following documentation, and note the links to the other items in this section:
Chart Studies: Transparent Fill Top (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_FILL_TOP) and Transparent Fill Bottom (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_FILL_BOTTOM)

With Ichimoku, it plots the Cloud 26 bars into the future. In the chart I attached at the bottom I circled red to show chart current position with price. I want to have the chart fully display the Cloud 26 bars into the future and stay in sync with it as price moves it continues to show the cloud in the future.

We think what you are looking for is the Lock Fill Space option. Refer to the following:
Working With Charts: Locking the Right Side Fill Space

Can you add an input the be able to truncate those 26 bars into the future? I want the Cloud to end plot at the current bar.

That looks like you have a Color Background Based on Alert Condition study on that chart. You would need to find that study, or whatever study is creating it, and remove/adjust/edit as needed.

We need to know the exact study you are referring to, as there is not an Ichimoku study built into Sierra Chart.

Sierra Chart could create an Ichimoku Cloud Study since it already has the component studies built-in

The Cloud or "Kumo" Studies
Senkou Span A & B
Senkou Span A
Senkou Span B

Tenken-Sen

Kijun-Sen

This is not anything we can get to any time soon.

You could adjust the code to get what you want. The Senkou Span A study, for example, is available in the file Studies2.cpp in the ACS_Source folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder.

Refer to the following for how to compile a custom study:
How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code

Can you add an input the be able to truncate those 26 bars into the future? I want the Cloud to end plot at the current bar.
You can easily do this with the Spreadsheet Study study, since it doesn't plot anything in future bars:
- Give it a unique name in the Spreadsheet Name field.
- Set the Chart Region to 1
- Check 'Draw Study Underneath Main Price Graph'
- Set the SG1 draw style to Transparent Fill Top
- Set the SG2 draw style to Transparent Fill Bottom
- Use a formula like this in cell K3:
=ID1.SG1@3
- Use a formula like this in cell L3:
=ID1.SG2@3
-where the Senkou Span A & B study is ID1; edit the formula as needed.

Then Hide the Senkou Span A & B study.

Also, see attached for an Ichimoku study collection, that adds all of the native studies that make the Ichimoku group.

For an Ichimoku Cloud Study, a StudyCollct is all is needed, easy to do.

Truncating the Senkou is what was the request.

Thanks tomgilb, we posted at the same time.
I'll try try the Spreadsheet formulas

The Senkou Span A & B study is the Cloud in the Ichimoku group.

That is all those particular lines extend. If you want to see them further into the chart, then use the Current Bid Ask Lines study. Refer to the information here:
Current Bid Ask Lines

What you are showing in that image is the DOM Graph. Refer to the following:
Trade Menu: Draw DOM Graph on Chart (Trade menu)

The only reason why it showing the Best Bid and Ask is because that is all you have available. If you were getting the full market depth data, then you would not be able to limit the DOM Graph to the Best Bid and Ask.

There is not a way to change those lines.
