Hi, I have created a study on which I need to add a two color marker to reflect the relative sizes of the BID and ASK volume similar to the Jigsaw Auction Vista 'bubbles' (see attached). I can use the standard tools and draw a circle with one fixed color but I would like to have 2 colors. Is this already possible? I have searched for quite a while but have not come across any suggestions or even similar requests. If I could create the drawing in native Windows, would I be able to add that to my chart study somehow? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. Rgds, David |

You can certainly do 2 separate circles with different colors using two separate study Subgraphs and the appropriate Draw Style. Refer to: Chart Studies: Transparent Circle Variable Size (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CIRCLE_VARIABLE_SIZE) ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array You cannot use two separate colors though for the same circle.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately two circles will not really display what I am trying to do. I would really like to replicate the circle or rectangle with two colors to show the relative Bid vs Ask volume at a particular price. You did not answer the question I asked about using native Windows drawing features. I understood from the ACSIL into/setup that it was possible to include native Windows features. Is drawing one of them? If not, would you consider providing the functionality of having shapes with two colors that can be represented by different variables? Rgds, David |

No we are not going to consider this.
