Recently you have added a few enhancements to support extending lines until a future intersection. It is a great feature in my opinion. I was wondering if you can support a tool like Horizontal Ray Tool to extend until a future intersection. You have also provided the ACSIL support for this feature. Using that API I can code it myself but I think it would be better if you weigh in on this because a native enhancement would come with a lot of other benefits that are baked into your tools system. Thanks. |

We do not see anything like this happening anytime soon. This is a major development task. It is far from simple. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Is this enhancement a possibility in the near future? Thanks. |

We determined a relatively simple way to do this and it should be out next week.

Thank you so much. This works great for Horizontal Ray. I was playing with an ACS study to see if I can detect a horizontal ray that extends into the future versus another one that intersects some chart bars. I tried s_UseTool.EndIndex and s_UseTool.EndDateTime properties but they both didn't work because by default, I guess, there is no end point for a Ray. Is there another property of s_UseTool I can use to detect if a Horizontal Ray intersects some bars, when it is set to Extent Until Future Intersection? |

No there is not.

Just curious. I suppose you would keep the state somewhere internally when the line is intersected to avoid repeated future calculations. Is it possible to expose that data via ACS please? Thanks.

No, that is not internally held. It is determined when it is drawn.

I was really hoping it was internally held. Here is why. I use it in an unorthodox way. I draw these horizontal rays on the screen when I see some important levels forming that I can see but it would be pretty hard to code that logic with ACS. Then I go through the chart with an ACS study and export the levels and text represented by those user drawn rays to a flat file. The intention is that, when a ray intersects a price candle bar in the future I would stop exporting that level. These exported levels are used for other purposes such as importing into another program I use for trading. Can you please explore any ideas you may have on how to make this intersection data available through ACS? Thank you so much. |

We will look into this.

In the next release you will use s_UseTool::FourthIndex to access this particular bar index where the horizontal touched and stopped.
