Yes, but from sierrachart.h: float TicksToPriceValue(unsigned int Ticks)
And TickSize is defined here{ return Ticks*TickSize; } http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_Variables_And_Arrays.html#scTickSize So TicksToPriceValue() will tell you the total value of that many ticks for the current chart |

I am debugging someone else's program and they use this function as a means to get the arrow closer to the candlestick/bar chart, is it a correct use of the function. It seems to work however the arrow it is not on top of the bar but a little away. Patricia |

SC has a built in study: "Swing High And Low". Try it and see how you like it in terms of arrow placement. Then, find the code in sierrachart/acs_source/studies6.cpp. It uses a % based arrow offset. You can instead use TickSize.

This is all it does: float TicksToPriceValue(unsigned int Ticks)
{ return Ticks*TickSize; } So it takes a number of ticks, multiplies it by the Tick Size and returns the actual price value.
