Hi, I have 5 or 6 VBP studies right aligned (far right), so some are displayed in the fill space and others overlap the price candles. What I do then is write labels for each profile and draw a vertical line open-to-close right next to them. Today, my ACSIL study that does that takes input of what index each profile graphic ends at so that I can align them right next to the profiles. Also, my labels are short like 94 for a peak when the NQ price is 15494.25. The problem comes when some of the profiles (some encompass multiple days or the whole chart period) that are within the visible price scale have smaller width than the width I assign them (because the fat portion of the profile is below/above the visible portion in the chart) and the rest of the profiles to the left of them all move as I move the chart scale up/down, changing the alignment of the labels to those profiles. I then have to adjust the displacement of my labels one by one depending on what price range I choose to make visible (with Interactive Scale Move/Range). I was wondering if you could add the EndIndex (and may be BeginIndex -- whatever feasible) of where each profile graphic is on the screen to the n_ACSIL::s_StudyProfileInformation data structure. This will greatly reduce my daily maintenance of aligning my labels and open-to-close vertical bars to the profiles. Thank you so much. |

I am okay if it takes high effort and you guys have other priorities. I can find other less efficient ways to solve my issue. However, if this is something you guys can easily facilitate, I would rather rely on your info from the study. Also, it doesn't have to be beginIndex / endIndex, it can be whatever way you can give me the x value for where the graphic is drawn. Please let me know. Thanks. |

We will do our best to accommodate this, if it is not difficult, sometime in the next 10 days.

Hi, First, thanks for considering my request. I have downloaded the latest and I was trying to see how I can use it. I might have confused you. The m_EndIndex member now has the last bar index the profile is based on. However, on a 240 minute candle chart, if I create 6 profiles, one for each day, with each one taking a space of let us say 10 bars (like 4% of the window width -- all right aligned), they will be drawn not on top of the bars but they will be left shifted to show them next to each other. I want to know on top of what bars the profile is drawn, not what bars are included in the profile. I hope that is clear. Once again, if the level of effort is too much, I will find a less efficient way to draw my labels next to each profile graphic. Thanks. Brahma |

Is there still a chance to support the above in the near future? Thanks.

Ok we understand what you are looking for. This is not something we can spend the time on now to see how to implement. And also the implementation of something like this will not be entirely reliable either.

I appreciate you for spending the time on my request. I have other ways to deal with this, not a problem. Thanks. On a separate note, you introduced User Defined Width for Side-By-Side Profiles on Right input recently (I believe). This makes my profiles not move horizontally when I move the price scale up and down. This makes my profiles way more stable on my chart (they don't move as much as before). One small thing I am noticing is, if a given profile is completely above/below the price scale, its space is given to the next profile and my profiles move in this case. I assume this is by design. However, I am wondering if you can leave that space blank even when a given profile is not within the price scale being displayed. This would fix my problem completely. In other words, you would have given me complete control of where my profiles appear. Once I set the profiles, they stay there horizontally. The burden to arrange them would be completely on me when setting this input to Yes. Thanks. |
