I want to plot certain values, e.g., the High or Low, for x bars ago, e.g, 3 days ago. I want the value plotted on the current bar, e.g., day. What study do I use?

This does not do everything you need, but have a look at the Previous OHLC-Variable Period study.

You could do it with the Spreadsheet Study study, using Value On High/Value On Low draw styles.

Support - thanks I had already thought of that option, but it doesn't accomplish the task. any change you could add such an indicator? most charting packages have this built-in. thanks for reply and for considering if possible TomGlib - never used a spreadsheet study so I'm unsure how involved this may be |

Add the Spreadsheet Study study -set the Chart Region to 1 -give it a name in the Spreadsheet Name field -set the Draw Style of (K)SG1 to Value On High -set the Draw Style of (L)SG2 to Value On Low Use these formulas: cell K3: =IF(ROW()=3,INDIRECT(ADDRESS($K$1+3,3)),0) cell L3: =IF(ROW()=3,INDIRECT(ADDRESS($K$1+3,4)),0) cell K1: # of bars ago |

Thanks, but obviously i'm doing something wrong. I had in fact tried something similar earlier wtih no success. I just tried your suggestion and when I get to the step of "cell K3" and as soon as I enter the formula, hit return, it disappears

Try this: Copy the formula without the '=', then focus the cell, enter '=', then paste the formula. |

FYI, clueless here - have NEVER used or attempted to use spreadsheet in SC. I am unable to cut-paste the formula from here to spreadsheet in SC. Highlight, right click, copy, go to cell in SC spreadsheet attempt to "paste" and nothing is entered, whether I do or don't include the "=". I can do the same thing and post to a random Excel sheet without issue. |

Are you using the Non-CLR version of SC? The spreadsheets in this version are not ready for use yet.

I don't know what to tell you. You could manually type it in. If you are entering it in an any other row it will disappear when the chart updates. |

OK, the formulas are now entered in K3 and L3. The values are correct for today's bar. However, nothing plots on the chart despite having checked value on H and value on L for K and L. Also, this will only plot the last point, correct? I want the values for every bar plotted. UPDATE : OK, I was able to get it to plot now and changed to "point" instead of "value on X". As suspected, only plots last data point. I appreciate your help, but really is a study that should be built into SC. Most charting packages have such a study/indicator.

That requires different formulas. Try this: K3: =INDEX(C$3:INDIRECT("C"&$J$30+2),O3,1) L3: =INDEX(D$3:INDIRECT("D"&$J$30+2),O3,1) O3: =IF(ROW()=3,RIGHT(ADDRESS($K$1+1,1,3)),O2+1) K1: # of bars ago |
