There is not an automated directly available within Sierra Chart. You can create a custom study that does this for you. Refer to the information on custom studies starting here: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction Or, if you want someone to develop it for you, then here is a list of potential programmers: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartStudyAndSystemProgrammers.php For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Just for fun - here is how you do it [cpp file + levels] Note: it's very draft + done from the default ACSIL study, really slow [as it uses subgraphs instead of drawings], but main problem - how to read the data - you'll get an idea from that If I'll have some free time - I'll try to re-code it using actual "horizontal lines" objects [instead of subgraphs]

Added another version - using drawings instead of sub-graphs [much faster]
