I guess lot of Sierra charts users has asked before to add OB and OS line . Is it too hard for you developers to add two lines in this study ? What is preventing you to do that ? Williams %R always comes with OB and OS in every platform which is pretty much standard. If you have this two lines it is easy to turn off but adding is a nightmare ? THAT DOESN'T WORK. I am attaching couple of pictures .
Here is the screenshot taken from Edit->upload image

In the screenshot you will see Line value = 20 is not overlaying on the Williams%R study. I have used Line study on RSI, stochastics and it works fine but not in Williams%R. May be there is a bug or constrain in Sierra chart.

Could you please fix this please.

Chart Studies: Adding a Horizontal Line to an Existing Study
Don't forward this above document to me in your answer. I followed this document already and tried to add Line study but that doesn't work.

The line at +20.00 is DEFINITELY overlaid on your Williams %R study (it is the green line at the top). Your Williams %R is just not getting to that level.

You may need to adjust the values you are expecting for the Williams %R. Refer to calculations here:

OP: You do realize that SC has provided you with the classic %R implementation where the entire waveform is NEGATIVE, ranging from 0 at the top, to -100 at the bottom.

I don't think SC support John's help any better , it is just the regular response with pointing out document reference. Didn't help me much. However User212764 pointed out some valuable tip which help me resolve the problem and that's why User212764 deserves appreciation from me.
First of all I like to thank the SC developers who did a tremendous, excellent job on the platform. Equally I like to say the SC SUPPORT IS A BIG DISGRACE WITH THEIR COLD ATTITUDE towards the user here and the same issue in different thread. I think SC support should be more user friendly to the casual computer knowledge users . In that respect I claim myself little bit of an expert so that it didn't take much long to solve the problem compared to a layman user. It is not a free platform, users are literally paying premium , so bring in your customer first healthy attitude. I see a lot better attitude from support in ninja trader forum .

I am publishing a details screenshot on WILLIAMS%R once and for all so that in future nobody has to wrangle on this issue with support.

Thanks for the code User212764. As you see in my previous comment and screenshot, I have already got what I wanted. However once I have time I will explore how to compile code and link DLL with the platform . The code is easy to understand and easy to modify since I use C++ in my job.
