Hi S.C. support, I need to add a value ( a straight line, like using "Line" study and set it to "95" as a constant value) to an existing candlestick graph displaying OHLC values. If I use "Study Subgraph Add" without using the "Line" study, I have to selet an "input Data" type, put in 95 as "Amount to Add", but then the graph becomes a line chart instead of a chart with OHLC (candles). If I use "Study Subgraphs" to add a candle chart and a second chart using "Line" study, I would still have to chose one "Input type" from the candle chart such as open, high, low, last. Is there an easy way I can just simply add a constant value to candlestick chart without the OHLC values? These are all subgraphs within one chart. Thanks. |

Not totally sure we understand this. Do you want to add a constant value to the close value of each bar?

Yes, your assumption is correct but not just to the close value of each bar. I just want to take a CL (crude oil futures) candlestick chart, multiplied by a constant of 45.54 (a factor for metric and currency conversion), then add a constant value to Open, High, Low, and Close (all 4 values). Do I have to use two charts to achieve this in order to keep the derived chart in candlestick? With one chart and subgraphs, it looks like I can only pick one input from the 4 (Open, High, Low, Close) and the derived subgraph displays a line chart, rather than a candlestick. Thanks. |

To do this properly, requires custom programming. You can use either Spreadsheets or ACSIL: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SpreadsheetStudy.html https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_CreatingDLLs.html There is also 2 price multiplier settings in Chart >> Chart Settings>> Advanced Settings 2.

Thanks. I can use spreadsheet to derive the value without any problem. The suggested multiplier settings seem useful but I wonder if S.C. can also add an offset function there in the future so we can add or subtract a constant and keep the form of the chart (like a candlestick chart) the way similar to this "multiplier" function in chart setting. |

This is a setting that we would not add to Chart Settings.
