Hi Team,

can you add a function to display a Midline with the Extended Rectangle tool.

This would be super cool.

Thank you

We will look into adding this. But it will probably be a few weeks before we can get to it.

In the meantime, you can use the Spreadsheet Formula study to produce the Midline for you. The formula would look like the following =(UDID[9].A1 + UDID[9].A2)/2, with the ID of the specific drawing in place of the 9 in this case. Refer to the following documentation for how to reference Chart Drawings (this also applies to the Spreadsheet Formula):
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php#ReferencingChartDrawings

Just for completeness, the documentation for the Spreadsheet Formula can be found here:
Spreadsheet Formula

You can control the length of the Midline by changing the setting of the Number of Bars to Calculate.

Sorry for how long it has taken us to get to this. We have just been busy with lots of things.

This ability has been added and will be available in release 1844. On the Configuration/Properties pages for Rectangle, Extending Rectangle, and Ellipse there is an option for Draw Midline. This midline uses the same settings as the outer lines.

Sorry, every once in awhile it happens that it pushes out a release, which is what happened here. It is available in 1844, but the best thing to do would be to update to the current Pre-Release which is 1849. You can update following the instructions here:

If Show Price Labels is checked, should Draw Midline also have its price shown?

If not, would you please add an option to show the Midline Price Label?
