How to make Volume Threshold Alert Drawing disappear after being touched?

Hi

I have a study for volume threshold, where at a certain number it displays a transparent background on the chart and I have it set to go until next intersection.

The one thing I would like to figure, is how to make it so after the drawing is touched it doesn't just stop, but also disappears?

Because as you can see, my charts can get very cluttered with all the lines everywhere even the ones that have been already touched and "invalidated". So for example on my screenshot all the ones with an "X" have already been touched and I would like for them to disappear, where the ones in the boxes are still "active".

Also, I want to use this study for ETH on futures where volumes are lower. But if I activate this with a lower threshold to trade during late night US hours then my entire screen just becomes full of lines from the thresholds coming back from the last day's session with much higher volumes. So if there was a way to set this so it only starts counting the study at 18:00:00 that would be great so I can properly use it for low volume futures sessions.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You would have to modify the code for this study in order to control the extension lines the way you want. You can access the study in the file Studies8.cpp in the ACS_Source folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder.

If you want to hire out, then refer to the list of programmers at the following link:
