Hi Sierra Chart, I might've found a bug with extension line value label alignments, let me run through the steps to reproduce: 1. Open any intraday chart and add VbP study 2. Set Extend Point Of Control (In:58) to "Until Future Intersection" 3. In the subgraphs tab, select the POC subgraph (SG2) and enable the Value Label 4. See that changing Horizontal Align: Left/Left Edge/Right doesn't do anything (the label shows up in right side values scale - see attached file). Now, of course, there can't really be a future intersection if you're not using the VbP study with a TPO chart, but it also happens when you do this on a TPO chart unless there actually was an intersection (see attached file). So when an intersection has happened, the label alignment works correctly. And regardless, you'd expect the label alignment to still work on a normal price chart too. This also happens when you try to set Extend Value Area (In:55) to "Until Future Intersection" and try to align the value label. Interestingly, the same value label functionality works fine on any of the TPO study (not VbP study) extensions, you can see this in one of the screenshots where the value label shows up at the end of the line, not the right side values scale. If you need any other information, let me know. |

This is not a bug, it is specifically programmed to work this way for the extension lines of the most recent period Volume by Price profile. If you put on multiple profiles, you will see that changing the location of the Value Label will change where it is located for all the profiles except for the most recent profile's value label which is always put in the Price Scale. We are also aware that this functions differently from the way the TPO extension lines works. We will update the documentation to make sure this is specified as the behavior.
