How could I submit a new study for User Contributed Studies? I have a custom made VWAP with the changes I have been asking you guys, so I would like to share and help others. |

Just be sure to link and post the source code (.cpp) so users can learn as well.

So Sierra has an VWAP indicator that many of us would like them to improve a little. I have paid for a custom VWAP mixing Sierra's VWAP with ECI VWAP and I would like to share with everyone who needs it and may find it useful. I have posted it on Futures.io https://futures.io/sierra-chart/56899-better-anchored-vwap-volume-weighted-average-price.html#post838140 and will be living it here as well. Hope to help someone.

Will this be in “Add Custom Study”? I looked for it and don’t see it. If not, is there a simple way to add it to my chart? I tried your instructions and added it but nothing shows up on my chart. I’m sure I did something wrong but have no clue what it could have been. Thanks |

We have not had the time to add it yet, and even when we do, there will need to be a new release before it becomes available. Once it is available, it will be under the "Add Custom Study" option as part of the User Contributed Studies.

Friend, have you tried building it through "Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL" It is really easy, just have my CPP inside folder ACS_Source and then go to https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/HowToBuildAnAdvancedCustomStudyFromSourceCode.html#Instructions and follow from step 9 to 11.

Yes I tried that but since it was my first try at anything like that I was a bit confused. The documentation stated what the first 2 lines had to be and your file had some other text mixed in with it that had // before it, wasn’t sure but I deleted all that. I didn’t get any errors when it compiled(or whatever it’s called) and it added it to the “Add Study” area, but when I added it to the chart it did nothing. I’ll try it again later. |

The CPP I sent is just ready to be compiled, there is no need to delete any line (but if you were able to add it to the chart, then ok) but when I added it to the chart it did nothing.
But was it added to "Studies to Graph"?If it's there, the next step is to right click where you want it to show up and it will appear under Study Settings if "Start Type" is set to Manual (which is the default). |

Yes, it added it, didn't know I had to right click for it to appear. But I have a DW_BAVWAP and UP_BAVWAP and they both seem to plot exactly the same. Is that normal? Thanks |

Yes, I use both because I like to set different colors for them and different VWAP Variances (one for High and one for Low extremes) and I also like to use 2 or more of them together.
