Hello,

I would like to plot Ask/Bid pulling/stacking sum/dif (SG9) as Candle Stick (OHLC), but I'm not sure which one of the Study/subgraph I should be using.
Can you advise on how to do so ?
Best regards.

In general, to plot study information as a Candlestick, you would use the Spreadsheet Formula - Bar study and enter in the Subgraphs you want to use for the Open, Close, High, and Low.

Therefore, you would need to have 4 data points, or at least 2, to establish a High/Low or Open/Close relationship.

What we do not understand is that the Ask/Bid Pulling Stacking Sum/Diff is a single number, therefore it cannot be turned into a candlestick.

I understand that it is a single value, but that single value oscillate for each bar it represent.
Therefore it has an Open, a High, a Low and a Close. So in theory we should be able to plot it as a candle stick...

Except that we do not keep track of that data as the bar is forming.

The only thing we can think to do would be to try and use the Spreadsheet Study to capture the information intra-bar. We do not know exactly how it could be done, but apart from writing code and using the ACSIL interface, this is the best possibility.
