Potential error with Study/Price Overlay with DrawStyle : CUSTOM_VALUE_AT_Y

Dear Madam, dear Sir,

I have written several pieces of code to test the Study/Price Overlay with DrawStyle : CUSTOM_VALUE_AT_Y. I have the following error: the overlay study correctly gets the sc.Subgraph[].Data[] (let us call them Vindex) containing the values for the bar indexes but these values instead of being displayed at the Y-coordinate contained in the sc.Subgraph[].Arrays[0][] array, are displayed at Y = Vindex, i.e.: the value is displayed at Y = the value in the subgraph for the corresponding sc.Index. I hope I am clear.

Is it something you can reproduce or am I missing something?

Besides, I have a question re. overlaying charts. Is there a way to programmatically overlay studies so that we get the exact same behaviour as the Study/Price Overlay with the "Match Source Bars to Destination Bars" set to NO?

Thank you for your support.

The Study/Price Overlay study does not support CUSTOM_VALUE_AT_Y. It is not something we can do anytime soon.

Thank you for your answer.

For the first part, may I suggest the documentation be updated?

For the second question, I have not made myself clear and I apologize. I am not asking for help with programming. My question was: is there an ACSIL function or variable that I might have missed that will enable me to overlay studies so that I get the exact same behaviour as the Study/Price Overlay with the "Match Source Bars to Destination Bars" set to NO? Yes or No will be very helpfull.

Regards,

Laurent

No, this does not exist. But we will see about adding that.
