Hi can we extend lines from previous volumes profiles? There is such an option where one cn choose "until end of window or end of period", bu it doesn't carry on when starting a new day How can this be done?

Any suggestions on this?

What you want to use is the Extend Value Area/Extend Point of Control inputs and set them to Until Future Intersection.

Yes but it stops on each new intersection, i.e, trading day/session, and the whole point is to have previous POCs for example to carry over on the current day as a lines on the current chart. This is what I am trying to do and I can not find any option that does that. ?

Here is an example of the Value Area extended until the End of Period: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=13951300747.png You should see something like this.

it is but what I am looking to get, and what is actually useful would be to have your value area line to carry over on the last session, i.e, you would see the top/bottom VA lines from yesterday's profile on TODAY's chart.. Can this be done? It's all about using previous days/weeks/months key level on today's chart as they often get revisited and may be disputed levels. Thanks

This can be done by using the Volume Value Area Lines study. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

How can they be extended? They stop at each new session/day..?

Thanks. This works for VA but what about the POC which is far more relevant than the VA in fact as far as projected it forward is concerned? I have taken POC as an example but generally speaking it would be v useful to be able to project a prior/n past days study such as previous 1 day/week/month WVAP and POC on the current day.. Can this be done?

The study has both the Value Area lines and the Point of control line. All of these are visible by default. It should be quite clear what the study does just by applying it and working with it. The study has an input to reference any number of periods back and this also includes the point of control. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

What is quite clear when looking at the attached screenshot is that it is doing something which is not what I have been asking for the past 6 or 7 messages, i.e, display the prior day's POC on today's chart. So today, we should see a line on today's chart at 1.3924, i.e, yesterday's POC. Can you see that? I can't personally. Can you see on yesterday's chart, a line at 1.3883, i.e, the day before yesterday's POC? Nope, still not. This is what I am traying to do, and this is not what the Value Area Line is doing. Is it?

Why is it that you set the Value Area Lines of n Periods Back input to 10 rather than 1? The documentation explains how this input works. We do not see this study as difficult to use. Not sure why there are so many questions about it and not sure why you set that input to 10 when the documentation explains it should set it to 1 in your particular case.

Because it would make sense to have on current chart, last 10 days (or 2, 3, 5, whatever) prior day's POCs as opposed to just the last one. There are many questions about it because the very 1st post, initial question was not answered properly. It did say "extend lines from previous volume profiles"... So on today's chart, we would have, 10 previous days' POC for example (yes a lot of lines).. Hopefully we can get to a definite answer without being patronised. I am sorry to disturb you with my questions, I thought that was SC support to answer questions.. All I wanted was in the very 1st post, just need to read questions just like one needs to read documentation as you are advising me to "once again".. So to recap, how can we display last 10 days POCs on today's chart please? MANY THANKS!

It's really too bad Sierra Charts will not answer the question. I would really love to see the POC from 3 days ago, 2 days ago and today on today's chart. I guess to only solution now is to draw the "historic" POC lines manually. Given the features of this study it suprises me there is no setting for this, i.e. "Extend POC line for next x days".

Disregard our prior response which has been deleted, we had thought this thread was about something different. But when we looked at it we realized it is different than what we were thinking. Because it would make sense to have on current chart, last 10 days (or 2, 3, 5, whatever) prior day's POCs as opposed to just the last one. So to recap, how can we display last 10 days POCs on today's chart please? This is not supported if you want them to continue to extend even when they intersect future prices. Our last response at post #17: Set the Value Area Lines for n Periods Back input with the study to 1. Is meant to explain this needs to be set that way for the study to reference the prior period and not multiple periods back which we do not think you want to do. You were using the setting in an incorrect way. We may have had a misunderstanding previously about what you wanted to do. Obviously what you want is not supported.

Hi, I would like to have this feature too, that the study "Volume Value Area Lines" is able to display not only the last period values, but to display n numbers of periods back. Please could you integrate this in next release?
