This is the 3rd time I have requested this information. Please at least show me the courtesy of answering the question. Is it possible to overlay the Studies from a 5 minute time frame chart to the full screen of a 2 minute chart that has the same studies and setting on it. I am trying to compare the movements of the market from a 5 minute time frame to a 2 minute time frame and see the movements of Mac D and Mac D leader in the 2nthe mac D and Mac D leader in region 2 while also comparing the movements of the Double Exponential Moving Average and Fibonacci Bands in region 1. Bottom line is can I set up a 5 minute chart with my studies, and set up a 2 minute chart with the same studies and settings and then overlay the 5 minute active chart onto the active 2 minute chart. If the answer is YES, please provide instructions as to how to accomplish the overlay. If the answer is no Please at least let me know that i is not currently possible. |

You would use the Study/Price Overlay study to do what you want. Refer to the following: Study/Price Overlay Study For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I saw your post today (9/7/2021) about calling Sierra Chart for help. I'm pretty sure they're not set up for that, & in case you didn't see John's reply... working with the Study/Price Overlay study is the way to do what you're asking about; however, if you're overlaying all 3 studies on top of each other, plus OHLC bars or candles-- that chart's going to be a hot mess. One tip is, if you're intent on this, is making sure the colors of all the study subgraphs compliment each other so you can differentiate 'what's what'. Another tip is, if you're looking for early trading signals off the movement of the 2 minute chart.. it would likely be better, in my opinion, to use the study/price overlays, hide the studies, but reference them in an alert condition/color bar study. If the purpose is just to compare the 2 charts- the simplest thing to do is keep them separate & observe them side by side for awhile, until you can 'read' them & how they tend to move together. Last tip is... I understand how waiting for an answer or not receiving one can be frustrating- but it's not in anyone's best interest to take out frustrations on the engineering people. Sometimes best thing that can happen is to be directed to something like the Study/Price Overlay, then go dig into the manual with all the information on it, read it slowly & carefully, then proceed to play around with it. Also, search the forum with keywords for any questions first- odds are high you'll both learn something else in the process, AND find a previous post in the past few years that answers your question. Hope that helps. |
