This is not something that we would add. If we would add it to this study, then it should be added to all studies and we are not going to do that and we are not going to haphazardly add this to just one study. This fundamentally just does not make sense. Besides, you have the capability to modify the study to do what you want. You do not need to rely upon us: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/BuildCustomStudiesDLL.html We recommend instead for you to use the study Subgraph >> Displacement setting and forward displace the study Subgraph by 1: Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Displacement Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

SC Engineers, I am with the OP on this one. I do not agree with your statement in post #2 "... This fundamentally just does not make sense. ..." Of course it makes sense (for this study, maybe not other studies). The study is the calculation of the DAILY range, if you include today while today is in progress then it is no longer a study of the average DAILY range as it includes a part completed day; eg: Mon range 25 Tue range 35 Wed range 15 Thur range 2 (day has only being going say 2 hours) Your study will give an ADR(3) of 17.3 OP and my study will give an ADR(3) of 25 I know which answer I think is more representative of the average DAILY range! You say if you added Displacement to this study, you should do it to all studies. But ADR and ATR are special situations as they are a DAILY study, plus I believe from memory you do have some studies with a displacement option. To the OP: I have raised this before with SC: ATR & ADR studies when used with Daily Range Bar study - displacement As you can see their solution was to add it to the Daily Range Bands study. This might work for you. It suited my needs. But I do agree with you the ADR and ATR studies logically should have a displacement option. |
