1. I didn't find an option to save or upload chart window image with title bar in Edit -> Screen Images, hence imgur.

2. I want to understand, what elements make this title up. Where can I read about it?

3. Is it possible to customize title bar? I don't mean this: Chart Settings: Title Bar Name (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Display Items menu)
I mean to reduce or remove some elements it shows in order to lighten it and reduce its length.

2. The documentation for the Title Bar can be found here:

3. The only customization of the text is what you linked to.

I read it and it doesn't explain anything I'd like to know.

Sad, what if a user wants to make chart title shorter? I mean, it doesn't have to be that long, does it?

I'd like to see what I type, while doing this: Changing Chart Bars Period: Fast Changing by Keyboard
But I can't see, what I type, because chart title is too long.

Maybe SC could you use more space of a title bar, when chart is maximized? Half of its length remains unused: https://i.imgur.com/Fms6PKt.png

Great, thanks. I think SC could be able to upload chart window image with title bar too.



Still, could you please explain to me, what does some elements in the title bar in the screenshot in the 1st post mean?

1. WHat does [M] mean?
2. What is it inside ()?

The link you mentioned in the 2nd post doesn't explain that.

The [M] indicates that your data is coming from Sierra Chart. Refer to the following:
Chart Data and Chart Data Files: The Meaning of the [M] Designation after a Symbol

What is inside the parentheses () is showing the study that is being used as the Main Price Graph. In your case you have the option for Dislay as Main Price Graph selected for your Heiken-Ashi study.

Why the ranges differ? The 1st number shows current chart's range, and the 2nd one?

We do not know why in this case. If you can get us that chart by itself in a Chartbook for us to take a look then we can figure out why it is showing that. Follow these instructions to do this:

Ok, attached. You just need to change chart's range.

What I noticed, is that range in parentheses is the same, as the previous chart's range, before it was modified.

Btw, why SC doesn't show check mark for currently used chartbook (CB menu), like it does in CW menu?

The study that you are using with the chart is a custom study and is not the built-in Heiken-Ashi study from Sierra Chart. Most likely, it is something about that study that is causing the difference in the displayed information.

Nothing changes, if original Heikin-Ashi is attached to a chart, I updated chartbook.

The only thing we see is that there is a discrepancy in the displayed information while the chart is loading and the study is calculated. Once the study finishes calculating the information updates to match what is set for the chart. This would make sense, as the information for the study is not getting updated until after it finishes calculating.

As to why there is not a checkmark on the active Chartbook, it just is the way it is. There is no "good" reason for it not to be there, but apparently you are one of the few who has asked for it. Again, this thread is tagged as a Feature Request, so the request to have the checkmark next to the Chartbook will also be added to our list.

There is a short period of time when the Title Bar shows a different range in the first listing versus what is in parentheses. This happens when the Range is changed and the chart reloads and recalculates. During that time, the range value in parentheses is not updated and shows the old value.

Once the chart reloads and the Heikin-Ashi study is recalculated then the Title Bar updates and both numbers match.

In other words, we are not able to reproduce a situation in which the numbers do not match regardless of what is happening with the system. It is only for this short period of time that we see it.

Why short period? Both ranges are different permanently, after the chart finished loading.

The range value in parentheses shows the old value, after the chart finished loading and recalculating.


Are you saying, that when you change chart range, in the end both ranges have the same values in the chart title, as opposed to what I'm seeing?

Yes. Exactly.

And the reason for it is simply that the Heikin-Ashi needs to complete its calculation for that data in parentheses to update.

We do not know why you would have it permanently different in your chart and we can not reproduce it to determine the cause.

Re feature requets in the post #4, I noticed today, that now chart title bar can use a lot more space for the additional characters being typed: https://i.imgur.com/vg4BWXb.png

But I work with maximized charts only and it's still not enough space even to fit standard elements of the title bar in the main Sierra Chart window: https://i.imgur.com/U5FG4yt.png

Could you make title bar to use more space in the main Sierra Chart window too?

Is it possible to implement?

Is it worth waiting for it?
