I have trading zones each of which are defined using a lower price level and a higher price level. Is there a way to import them into Sierra chart? I try to find some approach in drawing tools; however, it seems that the only way is to draw them manually. Is there a way to define those price levels in a file, and then import the file into sierra? Or is there any better approach? |

You could create an ACSIL study to read the file: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AdvancedCustomStudyInterfaceAndLanguage.php We do not provide any programming help. Or have a look at using the Spreadsheet study: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SpreadsheetStudy.html Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I am relatively new Sierra Chart and the spreadsheet package is intriguing. If I want to plot say 7 regions (not levels but price range) in a chart at different price levels, will the spreadsheet study allow for it? A pointer to examples which illustrate price zones plotted via spreadsheet study would be great. |

Yes, you can use the Spreadsheet Study to do this. But the "Trading Levels-Local Data" will be more efficient. This is a new study and we are still working on the documentation for it. Just be aware that to enter a level you enter the trading day for which you want the level and the actual price level (so you would enter "2024-03-28, 5306" (no quotes) to have a level at 5306. You can also have multiple levels defined for each Input, so you could enter "2024-03-28, 5306, 5304" to have a line at 5306 and 5304. You can also color in between two lines that are defined in two different subgraphs, but using the Fill options.

Thanks for the tip, John. I looked at the study and it should do what I want to do. As an enhancement it would be great if the Local Data, study could read a CSV file with the information you want to put in each line of the study. That will simplify the flow a lot, without requiring us to manually cut and paste each level. Alternatively, is it possible to set up a local server for the "Trading Levels" indicator? I do experiment with my own levels for different products so it would be great if you could enable that. I do not intend to share those levels; they are meant for my own education so hosting them at SierraChart is an overkill. |

We take all requests, but we can not say when we would get to any particular item. We do believe that there is a third party developer that has a tool that already does this. You can search this board and see if you can find the information (but maybe we am not remembering correctly). Or you can create your own study to do this.

2 ways you can import data from a CSV file: 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R73EQxfeGY The example google sheet is password protected. Go to File >> New File >> Spreadsheet. Then copy all the data to the new spreadsheet. Or File >> Make Copy. Then use the new spreadsheet. I think either should work. Go to the Share button in the upper right hand corner. Allow General Access to anyone who has the link. Or 2) https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/autolevels/ Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-03-29 15:32:26

Refer to the documentation for this study here: Trading Levels - Local Data It does support levels which are a range and highlighting between them.
