Hi guys, I have been with your company for almost a decade now. LOVE your platform and I hope to be with you for decades to come. I am wondering if I can suggest a something. Currently I am using a bunch of charts and chartbooks at the same time to compare correlations in combination with simplified S&D levels. The problem that I am having is that the chart becomes a mess when it comes to switching to higher timeframe. For example the 4H timeframe as I am able to see drawings and texts made to be used on smaller timeframes only. Switching the visibility using the HIDE button on and off manually again and again hundreds of times a day is just a pain. Clients should be able to choose what time frame/time range are the objects on chart visible. In my example if I switch to 4H timeframe I would prefer the levels (and other chart drawings/tools) that were drawn/overlayed on and only to be used for for smaller timeframes (1m,5m,15m,30m) to be automatically hidden. Solution: add a "Visibility" tab to chart drawing properties next to "Anchors" potentially with a tick box to "disable showing on linked charts" so that it can be saved as config. And in the Study Settings next to "Alerts". that will allow us to select specific time range for the object/study visibility. Example: text, 5m entry details should be visible only on 5m and smaller timeframes. 30min supply level (extended rectangle) should be visible only on 30m and lower timeframes. I am a part of a huge group of traders with same/similar trading strategy that are using SC and I am not alone who is wishing for this feature to be implemented. Similar feature was mentioned in the Possible to Copy Drawings across charts, but limit to specific timeframe visibility? post, but he is talking about a text only, where we would like this option on any tool, drawing, text etc. basically anything that can be put on chart where possible. Thank you for your understanding, kind regards, JJ |

Hello SierraChart team: I would like to echo the request from jjdTrade above. All multi-time-frame traders will likely be experiencing the same friction when drawing objects in SC. While SierraChart is infinitely more powerful than other platforms such as TradingView, JForex, and MT4, all of those platforms have had this feature for some time, and it is painful to use multiple-time-frame strategies without this feature. In addition, the ability to create drawing objects with a default setting of "Do NOT allow copy of Drawing to Other Charts," or "Allow Copy only to the selected time ranges," would erase any remaining friction from switching entirely to SierraChart. Ideally, I would assign a set of custom drawing tools and custom text tools to have different time frame and copy-allowed states, in some future version of SC. That said, there are so many powerful features which SC has that override this concern, that I am using it despite this unfortunate friction in my trading methods. Best Regards, Mike |

We are incrementally starting some work on this. The basic plan is to support a new setting for Chart Drawings to control the time range they will be visible on. In addition, the ability to create drawing objects with a default setting of "Do NOT allow copy of Drawing to Other Charts," This will be out in the next release and is a setting in Global Settings >> Tool Settings.

Hello SC Team, I am excited about this upcoming feature. My hope is that I will be able to assign this for each Tool Configuration. In this way, I can have some Tool Configurations for Rectangles and Text that automatically copy only to lower time frame charts, such as 1-min, 5-min, etc. While I can have other Tool Configurations for Rectangles and Text that automatically copy only to Higher Time Frame Charts, such as 4-hour, daily, etc. Good luck with the updates!

Hello SC Team, In Post 2432 above, you mentioned that in the next release there will be a setting added for default of "Do Not Allow Copy of Drawing to Other Charts." This would be best if it can be assigned as a configuration to each tool. For example, with text, I would choose "Do Not Allow..." But with Rectangles, I would choose to "Allow Copy by Default." Thanks! Mike |

Hi Any updates on this feature for rollout? I really hope this comes up soon, similar to how chart drawings and studies work now on TradingView as in the screenshot: |

The reason for the delay is because this functionality is going to be developed using our new tool Configuration/Properties windows which we are currently developing. We will complete the internal implementation for controlling the visibility over the next couple of weeks. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

This is still going to be some time away before it is implemented. It will not become available until the Window interfaces for Chart Drawing Properties/Configurations are changed to the new format. This is still being worked on. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

I'm just replying to follow the release of this feature, which will make SC 100x more attractive when it's available! I really hope it will be available as soon as possible. |

We do not know when this will be available. It is not something to wait around for. It is absolutely not coming soon. Probably not for another six months to a year.

Sorry for the prior response. We were extremely busy at the time we responded with so many things to do. We will get this done as soon as possible. But it still could be a few months away . We just do not want to mislead anyone.

But allow time, we can see this is going to be quite involved and as usual we often get busy with other things. So allow still about three months. In the end we never know. Could be even months more.
