In Save Studies As Study Collection, if you have an Additional Symbol or Overlay then the Value Format is not saved

This will be resolved in the next release regarding the Add Additional Symbol study. It was rather complex the reason for this.

What overlay study are you referring to?

I have a problem in regards to this as well.

I have 2 markets overlayed on the same chart (in my case I have Micro & Mini S&P).
Along with this specific study (Add Additional Symbol), I have other studies which I use on other charts as well, such as RSI, ATR and Volume.

Doing my top down analyses at the beginning of my day I want to have the charts as clean as possible (no studies at all). To do this, I created a study collection keyboard shortcut to recall / remove these studies (ATR,Volume & RSI).

However, I can't use these study collection because if I create it where I have the overlay market, then it screws up all the other charts when I recall it, plotting the overlay also on these other charts.

And, if I create the study collection where there is no overlay, then when I apply it to the charts where I need the overlay it just disappear.

There's no way I can't get my head around it.

Can you please help me?

Thanks

We do not understand what you are referencing when you refer to an Overlay.

Can you please take a few screenshots to show us what the problem is. You can follow these instructions to get us a screenshot:

Sorry for the late reply.

Please find attached what the problem is and below you can find the explanation as well. I hope this clarify it.


As you can see from the pic, I add (1) the study called "Add additional Symbol" to the main price chart (which is the Micro S&P as shown in the upper red box)

From the setting of this study, I choose to display (2) EP (Emini S&P) on the same chart and overlay it on the Micro S&P.

If I create a collection study as explained in the previous message and I want to use it on different charts (i.e. Gold, Crude etc)I have visual problems because everytime I apply the study collection, the "Add additional symbol" study will be add to the chart which main market is for example gold, going to overlay the Emini S&P to gold.

And, on the other hand, if I create a study collection where this study isn't present, then when I recall the study collection on the Micro S&P, the overlay isn't present, and I have to go and add the overlay every single time.

The question is then, is there a way to be able to create study collections without having such a problem?

I hope I explain the problem, if not please let me know.

Thanks,

Fabio

If we are understanding what you are saying, your issue is that when you use the Study Collection, you want the Study Overlay to change the particular symbol that it uses.

The only want to do that would be to program it using ACSIL. Refer to the information here:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

The other option would be to create Study Collections for each symbol that you are using and then add them as appropriate.
