Hi,

Can I please request a tool that will allow me to add a certain number of bars from any pivot point?

For example, I would like to be able to pick a pivot point and have a projection from that pivot of say 5 8 13 31 bars from that pivot point.
If this feature could be added (which could be easily programmed by SC), I would be most appreciative.

I am aware of the time expansions and projections but I really need the ability to add certain numbers of bars from pivots to look for clusters.

Much appreciated.

This can be done by using the Time Expansion tool and we will document how this can be accomplished with that tool.


That tool can draw lines based upon bars and not specific periods of time.

Hi,

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but when using the time expansion tool, it displays time from a different timezone then my chart settings. There's a difference of 2 hours. How can I adjust the tool settings so that the displayed times are corresponding with my chart settings?

Thanks!

The Time Expansion tool has no dependency on the time zone of the chart.

We need to understand why you are coming to the conclusion that you are.

Post an image of the chart showing the Time Expansion drawing, following these instructions here:

Open the Chart Drawing Properties for the Time Expansion drawing and let us know what levels you have set on the first tab. Refer to:
