Are the tool objects drawn onto the chart using the ACSIL sc.UseTool method or even from drawing one by user GUI built such that I can get the properties of each particular tool? Example: I've drawn a DRAWING_RETRACEMENT object on the chart by giving the Tool function a "starting point" and "ending point" and then the Tool automatically calculated all of the retracement price levels based on the % values I defined for the drawing. So, essentially the instance should have the price levels stored somewhere within the memory space for that object and what I'd like to do is access those calculated values via properties interface with the object - Is that possible? If so can you give a link to all the property names for all the tools? |

using the following code fragment immediately after a DRAWING_RETRACEMENT instantiation returns the value of -FLT_MAX which is same as when you do a Tool.Clear() sc.UseTool(Tool); for (int index = 0; index < ACSIL_DRAWING_MAX_LEVELS; ++index) { Buffer.Format("retrace %d has value %f ", 0, Tool.RetracementLevels[index]); sc.AddMessageToLog(Buffer, 0); } Message Log output: Chart: F.US.ENQU17 [CB] 1 Min #3 | Study: Drawings #2 | retrace 0 has value -340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000 | 2017-07-04 17:11:23 |

okay, i'm able to select the drawing but when i use ChartDrawing.RetracementLevels[n] i'm getting is the percentage values which i programmed into the drawing at the beginning like (23 or 50 or 61.8 etc). what i initially asked you for was, is there a way to get at the price levels that were calculated for the retracement drawing example: for a 50% level and with the start at 0 and the end at 1 then i would like to query the drawing 61.8% index and get back 0.382 seems like those values must be available since you allow for showing the price levels on each of the price level lines with "show price" in the options of the retracement tool. So, is there a way that i can query the retracement drawing object and get those price levels or is what you're currently doing in order to display those price levels what I'll have to end up doing which is calculate those levels given the beginning and ending values of the drawing? thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-07-05 03:32:31

what i initially asked you for was, is there a way to get at the price levels that were calculated for the retracement drawing They are just simply calculated as they are displayed and not stored anywhere. You will need to calculate them yourself. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
