I'm using a study overlay study to overlay the bar numbering study from a HTF chart on a LTF. So that the HTF numbers are marked. But not able to get the study below bars. Is there any way to correct this? I attached the screenshot of what I am getting and the study settings. I'm using a HTF 5m chart for Regular Session 81 bars and trying to overlay on a LTF Regular session of 100 seconds bar. So that I only get numbers when a 5m bar closes. If there is an alternate way to achieve this, kindly advise. Chart Image- https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1667665809795.png |

Given that you have it set to Independent Scaling and that you also have it set to "Use in Left Side Scale", we would recommend turning on the left side scale and adjusting the scales wide, so the numbers line up and then moving it to where you want. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Use Left Side Scale (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank You. That makes it more readable for me. Just curious, is there any way to display the numbers at the same price point as the source chart the study overlay is using?

Use an Automatic Scale Range for both the main price graph and the Bar Numbering study. See if that accomplishes what you need.

No. When I do both automatic it's distorting the graph, as it's taking the location on the left scale same as the bar number. So 1 is being displayed at 1, 2 at 2 etc. Since the right scale is displaying price around 3800, I am not able to see the bar numbers.

The only thing we can think to do would be to use the Spreadsheet Formula with an IF() statement such that if there is a number to display it puts it at the level you want, otherwise it will output a 0. For example: =IF(ID1.SG1 <> 0, H + .05 * H, 0) Where this will put the number at 5% above the high price (which might be too much, you would have to play with the percentage). The ID and SG will have to be determined by your Study/Price Overlay study. You would need to set the Spreadsheet Formula to not display 0 values.

Perfect. That worked! I had to change the formulae slightly as this was displaying the heights and not the bar numbers. I changed the formulae to "=IF(ID132.SG1 <> 0, ID132.SG1, 0)" and then used "Value on Low" to get the display. https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1667963082501.png Appreciate much! |
