Hi, I'm working on a trading system that is using the retracement tool. Is there a way of accessing the price of the different retracements/projections levels from the s_UseTool instance that I created, without having to store them myself when I create the instance? |

Yes this can be accessed with the s_UseTool::RetracementLevels member.

I am using the s_UseTool::RetracementLevels to set the percentage levels and other visual properties of the retracement tool, but I can't seem to get the PRICE of the levels.

Well, right now I am calculating the price from the fib levels, like so SCFloatArrayRef fib1LevelValues = sc.Subgraph[0].Arrays[0]; SCFloatArrayRef fib2LevelValues = sc.Subgraph[1].Arrays[0]; Tool.RetracementLevels[0] = 100.0f; Tool.RetracementLevels[1] = 61.8f; Tool.RetracementLevels[2] = 50.0f; Tool.RetracementLevels[3] = 38.2f; Tool.RetracementLevels[4] = 23.6f; Tool.RetracementLevels[5] = 0.0f; // Store price for fib1 levels for (int i = 0; i<6; i++) { // Get the retracement level float a = Tool.RetracementLevels[i]; // Calculate the price for current retracement level float price = Tool.BeginValue - (Tool.BeginValue - Tool.EndValue) * (a / 100); // Set tick size float tickSize = 0.25; // Round price to the nearest tick fib1LevelValues[i] = price - fmod(price, tickSize) + ((fmod(price, tickSize) < tickSize / 2) ? 0.0 : tickSize); } [/i][/i] I cant find anything in the documentation about getting the price from the RetracementLevels array, only visual properties. But maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? |

You need to get the Chart Drawing using this function: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSILDrawingTools.html#scGetUserDrawnChartDrawing You can then use the RetracementLevels array to access the values.

@User162368 Hi, I'm trying to draw price retracement on every daily candle with only one level. Do you know is there a way to get it. |
