here is the situation: Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that on a 30-minute candle chart of YM or NQ or ES (it doesn't really matter what the market is), every 50th bar closes higher than the bar before it. Assuming this is the case, I would like to perform back testing on this crazy theory! Lol... So, I am at the current bar and I would like to count back 50 bar periods, then 100 bar periods, then 150 bar periods.....and so on and so forth. What I am currently doing is clicking on the current bar, keeping my Cross-hair on the current bar, and then manually counting 50 bars backwards. And then clicking the cross-hair on the 50th previous bar and then manually counting the past previous 50 bars, which would be the past 100th bar...you get the idea. I was hoping to have a tool where I can click on the current bar (or whatever bar for that matter) and then drag my mouse backwards, and while dragging the mouse backwards, the ruler or the counter should tell me how many previous bars have I traveled in the past; sort of like the Fibonacci retracement tool does for the price. I was watching a YouTube video and the presenter clicked on the current bar, dragged the mouse backwards (to the left of the chart) as much as he wanted and while dragging the mouse backwards, the counter/ruler was counting how many bars he had travelled in the past... He didn't say what platform he was using. |

The Chart Calculator Tool will do exactly this. Make sure you configure it for what you want displayed. https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_Tools.html#ChartCalculator It would also be a simple thing to create a formula to do this for you automatically using the Color Bar by Alert Study using [-50],[-100],[-150] lookbacks. (Edit:Simple to color the current bar conditions comparing it to the prior 50,100,150 bars. You can do a look forward from those bars also if you want to highlight those specific bars. Although the SC Support team would need to assist with that since I’ve never gotten the refresh to work automatically.) — Scott Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-07-30 13:45:47
