Here is my use case: I have several Singe Study Collections, essentially study presets, that I need to add to a chart one at a time. The reason for this is that I might have 4 different versions of opening range, or 3 different versions of VWAP. Some charts I want all of them, some charts I want some of them. Either way, I need the ability to just simply add study presets to a chart with existing studies already on it. This is achieved in Ninjatrader by Indicator Templates, and makes the process of setting up a new chart extremely simple. In Ninjatrader I can have 30 different versions of VWAP (colors, line formatting, setttings, etc), and add each version to a chart one at a time if I wanted. In Sierra I need to be able to do this in order to have minimal functionality of the platform. My problem: If I try to add a saved Single Study collection/name to a chart that has one or more studies already on it, adding a single study removes all the other studies. I have seen a potential solution whereby I should be able to click the box "Prompt to Remove Existing Studies". This is not helpful though. When I check this box, it adds a "+" onto the end of the study I am trying to load. When I click load, I get the messages box popping up showing that there was an error trying to load the study because the file doesn't exist. (Because I have no file name saved with the "+" sign on the end) So trying to add a single study preset/template onto a chart is seemingly not possible. It is not feasible for me to constantly be manually setting up studies for each potential variation I have created. There must be a way to do this / there must be something obvious I am missing. Please help. Potential Solutions: 1) Allow multi-select on the Analysis dropdown, which would be an extremely easy way to let me configure a new chart and then save those as a Study Collection 2) In addition to the "Load" button on the Chart Studies screen, have an additional "Add" button, which would add the selected study/collection name onto the chart's existing Studies to Graph instead of overwriting.

The option for "Prompt to Remove Existing Studies" is the correct option, and it does add a plus sign to the end of the file. So this should not be a problem. Refer to the following: Study Collections: Adding a Study Collection Without Clearing Existing Studies On The Chart (Prompt to Remove Existing Studies) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hi, thanks for responding! However, I think maybe you didn't read my full message / maybe I didn't explain well enough. When I click load, I get the messages box popping up showing that there was an error trying to load the study because the file doesn't exist. (Because I have no file name saved with the "+" sign on the end) That option for Prompt to Remove Existing studies does not do anything. All it does is bring up the message dialogue box and show an error that the study with the "+" in the name could not be found. Can you please provide instructions or maybe a video showing how this is supposed to work? Is my client bugged maybe? Either way - this does not work for me. That prompt does not do anything, nothing happens. |

We did read your message and that statement did not make any sense, so we gave you what we thought you needed, which does give the information you needed. We understand now that you are not using this properly. You do not select that option when you load a study collection, you use that option when you save a study collection, then when you load a study collection from the Analysis menu, you will then get a prompt to remove other studies or not. Follow the instructions at the following link: Study Collections: Adding a Study Collection Without Clearing Existing Studies On The Chart (Prompt to Remove Existing Studies) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
