say I have 2 studies in region 2 and I want to draw a marker at the Last price in region 1.. can it be done without custom study writing? (note the 2 studies in question are overlays from another chart if that make any difference). thank you

Yes, using the color bar based upon alert condition study. Assume you added study 1 as ID1, and study 2 as ID2, then in the alerts tab for the color bar based upon alert condition study, enter =CROSSFROMBELOW(ID2.SG1, ID2.SG1) to mark study 1 crossing over study 2, and then in the subgraphs tab change the draw style to whatever you want. Depending on the study, you may need to change SG1 to SG2, etc. If you want to mark all bars then use =ID1.SG1 > ID2.SG1.

thank you. but this is the most important point - to paint not the whole bar but a level at which the cross occured.. so this is why i asked for a marker not color bar.. any thought? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-04-07 14:24:11

IC, try this and let me know. You can mark longs and shorts separately.

thank you very much. sorry for the delay (was a busy week).. I have tried your code (needed to recompile cpp for some reason - the dll attached didnt work at all).. the code seems correct but the results doesnt make sense. let me get to the bottom of the issue and I post the corrected version back here if you want (or send it by PM).. cheers

The DLL may not work if you are on an older version. If you tell me what study are you using as the input, then I can show you what it looks like on mine and we can go from there.

vegasfoster, would you be able to modify your study so that it can use and plot a subgraph value in the subgraph region the same way it does in the main price region?
