1-I have drawn 8 horizontal lines corresponding to certain price levels on my chart. I would like to copy and move them at once higher or lower. How do I select multiple objects . 2- what I want is to have horizontal lines, 3 different types populate my entire chart at certain incremental price levels so I do not have to manually draw them on that chart ever again.is there a study for this. |

1. There is not a way to select multiple drawings and then copy or move them with the pointer. The only options for multiple drawing selections are contained within the Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings window. There you can select multiple drawings and "Adjust" them - move them up/down a certain price level amount. 2. There are a number of ways to do this, depending on what you want the lines to be based on. First, refer to the Horizontal Lines study, which lets you set multiple horizontal lines: Horizontal Lines Second, if you want to reference another item from the chart, then you might want to use the Spreadsheet Formula: Spreadsheet Formula Third, if you have a complex method for wanting to create a line, then you could use the Spreadsheet Study: Using the Spreadsheet Study For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Sure would be nice if objects could be treated as groups. Would be nice to select multiple for copying a specific subset of objects from one chart to another. Would be nice to group objects (and see the hierarchy in the manage chart drawings window). Would be nice to set properties across multiple objects at the same time. And it would be nice to move a group of objects with the mouse as well as with keyboard or with typing a time or price displacement. The current adjust object method only allows the price to be changed. Time isn't considered, neither are any other property (prefixing or postfixing text on all objects, changing colors, line styles, widths etc.) I'm still hoping we get to a point where there is a floating properties window that has all the tool options on it in searchable fashion. If I select two objects, all the common properties will be available, the uncommon properties will be greyed out, but visible. Would also be interesting to change the object type - for example, on miro.com, I can drop a text box, type some info into it and later, if I wish, change it to a rectangle, circle or other object. The properties stay with the object and new ones become available if they are uncommon. Imagine the same in SierraChart where you could change a fork into a parallel lines? Both objects use 3 points, so the anchors stay the same. Also I think this would help align the entire suite of drawing tools. No tool should be without an option of showing the date / time / price at each anchor, if requested. All the tools should have a way to directly manipulate the text on the chart without needing to open a dialog box. The font styles should be available as hover tools instead of needing to dig deep into dialog boxes to change the font color, size, or type. Might be nice also to go with a named template system like TradingView rather than using template slots with names because it's nice to have an unlimited number of slots to save properties for each tool. No reason to limit it to 24 templates for each object. One panel One database structure for objects Easy copy/paste Grouping in the organization of objects, etc. |
