The Study/Price Overlay, in this case it is a 'color background based on condition' study, on the 'destination' chart during back testing is applied/constructed on each consecutive 'destination' chart candle, bit by bit, during back testing, which is correct. See attached images and linked short videos. The identical studies during forward testing do not behave the same, this is a huge coding error, study constructs the colored background all at once, in one step, after the 5th candle is complete, instantly appearing. See attached image and linked short videos. This huge difference in behavior results in the order(s) being placed at the 1st of 5 candles on the 'destination' chart, vs the last of 5 candles, resulting in huge losses. Please fix this as soon as possible. Files: "Raw Screenshot" shows where the orders are placed, both back testing (left) and forward testing (right) 'error' related to the color background based on condition "Study/Price Overlay Settings" shows just that "Trading System Based On Alert Condition" shows settings as well https://www.twitch.tv/videos/312386109 short video clip showing the color background being constructed, forward testing 'error' https://www.twitch.tv/videos/312385215 short video clip showing the color background being constructed, back testing (correct), bit by bit Thank you Mark |

We do not agree there is some kind of an error with the Study/Price Overlay study. We do not have time to analyze what you require and your particular scenario but we recommend that you develop your own custom study to accomplish what you require. Do not use what Sierra Chart is providing if it does not meet your requirements. At this point this particular support request is considered closed and we do not have time to be involved in this whatsoever.

We have renamed the title of this thread and have it unhidden. What we are going to do is convert the Study/Price Overlay study to ACSIL so you can adapt it to your own requirements. It does function properly as designed. This there is no doubt about. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Interesting 1) a coding error was surfaced 2) you neglected to respond in anyway for 3 days 3) the coding error was reposted last night by me 4) Sierra Charts response to the code error was to a) deny there is a coding error b) refuse to examine the evidence of a coding error c) remove the study because of an obvious error d) then hide the fact that an error was there in the study by removing the thread A-C I understand, but hiding the thread from your paying customers. Own your decisions, and be transparent, un-hide this thread. Sierra Chart is a good product, with decent support, grumpy and crabby at times, but responsive. Thank you Mark |

Has the Study/Price overlay been converted to ACSIL? I am having a similar problem, and am wondering if anyone has found a solution.

c) remove the study because of an obvious error This is not true. The study was never removed. This is nonsense. The thread was temporarily hidden because you were posting misleading information. So that is the result of what you posted. Not us.d) then hide the fact that an error was there in the study by removing the thread Has the Study/Price overlay been converted to ACSIL? No because this is a very large complex function. We have not been able to allocate the time to it and this requires several new functions to be added to ACSIL. We are getting started on this now.The first thing is we are adding these functions to ACSIL: int (SCDLLCALL* GetEarliestSourceIndexForDestinationDateTime)(int SourceStudyID, int DateTimeIndex, const SCDateTime& BarTimeDuration, int BarTimeMatchingMethod, int DestinationChartNumber, int SourceChartNumber, int SourceMaximumDisplacement, int DestinationBarsForward);
int (SCDLLCALL* GetLatestSourceIndexForDestinationDateTime)(int SourceStudyID, int DateTimeIndex, const SCDateTime& BarTimeDuration, int BarTimeMatchingMethod, int DestinationChartNumber, int SourceChartNumber, int SourceMaximumDisplacement, int DestinationBarsForward); Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
