Given a price value, is there a straightforward way to determine its relative position on the chart, i.e. percent distance from the bottom? IG |

Have a look at the Tools >> Chart Calculator tool.

Thanks for your reply. It seems I did not clarify my question properly. I'm developing for Sierra. I need to obtain the percent position for a given price -- programmatically, i.e. in code, so I can use it to determine where to draw a nearby drawing, using s_UseTool with UseRelativeValue. As far as I can tell, the reference you gave applies to the Drawing Tool available to a user of Sierra Chart, but not to the api. Much Obliged for any help, IG |

One way to set the Tool.BeginValue/EndValue of the UseTool drawing tool, is as a percent of the total screen height. I want to find this relative position on the screen, for a given price, in code. For example, say I have an ES mini-S&P chart, with a bar that has a LOW at 1740. I want to draw a mark 2% of the screen below that LOW price. I need a function that, given a price, returns its relative position on the screen. Say it returns 37% for the price 1740. Then I draw my mark at 35%. If there's another way to do go about this, please advise. IG |

We are not sure how this would be accomplished.

There are various ACSIL variables that give coordinate information in both pixels and prices. Refer to: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_Variables_And_Arrays.html You should be able to accomplish what you want using those.
