Hi/Lo for time period (or extended period) doesn't stair step Either in Main graph or any other chart region. Its the default settings, so nothing was changed. Also Daily OHLC study doesn't work when based on a moving average. see attached pics |

Refer to the documentation for High/Low For Time Period for an understanding of what it does: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TechnicalStudiesReference.html It definitely does not do what you want and never has. You cannot base Daily OHLC on a Moving Average. This does not make sense. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

so I read the Hi/Lo documentation and see it will only mark the hi/lo for day. The confusing part is in its draw style, it says stairstep. Within that description it lists that if I want a new Hi/low charted I should use the DAILY OHLC. Why does the Daily OHLC on a Moving Ave not make sense?? if its charting whatever, say the price, then the moving average does indeed make a high for the time period (day in this case), so why wouldn't it be charted. More specifically it would be charting the "Averages" daily hi/low, which is what I assume you mean. So what study would I use to track the Hi/lo in stair step fashion (Im actually using the moving average study with 1 as the length to get historic support/resistance line of Ask/Bid difference) based on another study?? Rethinking the Hi/Low study. it would not stairstep, but in real time it would actually provide me with the lastest Hi/Lo. I just couldn't use it to look at past days to sight the ongoing Hi's/Low's (stairstep). Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-07-13 18:00:38

You need to use the Daily OHLC study and set the appropriate input to graph the High/Low historically. And do not base it on another study. It requires the underlying price data.

Make sure the Subgraphs Draw Type is set to Dash. Refer to the following: Chart Studies: Dash (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_DASH) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you but it is not working. Probably something very simple that I am not doing but I cannot figure it out. I think I attached a file of the settings. |

Set the Draw Style to Dash, not Stair Step. We are assuming that you are not wanting to see the transition lines as it goes from one day to the next. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Not seeing the transition lines from one day to the next would be ideal. But what matters to me most is being able to examine the day and see where the line was at every time of the day. That is what I cannot seem to achieve. What am I missing? Thank you again. |

So you want to see how the lines develop over the course of the day? If that is what you want, then refer to the information for Graph High Low Historically and Graph Open Close Historically in this section: Daily OHLC: Inputs For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I must not have explained what I wanted to do very well.
