Hello SC Team,
Would you mind pointing me in the right direction on this please?
I would like to use the SuperTrend indicator as in my chart, however, I would like to avoid the vertical lines printing between the blue and red bands above and below price when the shift occurs. Is there a way to avoid that?
Thank you,
Mike

There is not really a solution for that in particular. You can try setting the "Draw Style" to "Dash", which will eliminate that line, but we do not think you will like the way the data is displayed then. Refer to the following:
Chart Studies: Dash (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_DASH)

Thank you - I did try that before and you are right, it hinders the visual usefulness.
Also, thank you in general for trying to support so many of us in the forum!

I use Kiwi Trailing Stop (rather than Supertrend) and the solution is:
Add but Hide the Kiwi study, select use 2 subgraphs in Kiwi study (Up/Down).
Add Study Round Subgraph to Tick Size - twice.
Then use one Round Subgraph for Up trend (ref Kiwi SG1 for Up)
Use the other one for Down trend (Kiwi SG2 for Down).
I use a Stair Step line rather than Dash - but you can then display 2 individual Stair Step lines rounded to Tick Size and colour as you see fit. There will be no vertical lines if you hide the Kiwi study.

Thank you
That is a great approach and I'll make use of that on other studies, I'm sure.
I think Kiwi is close enough for my purposes as well.
Thank you again

Another solution, is to make the SuperTrend study use 2 graphs. One for values in Uptrend and the other for downtrend. It currently only uses subgraph[0]. The source is in ACS_Source\Studies4.cpp

Thank you for that idea.
I will try to work it out via a spreadsheet study.
