Hello, I am trying to change the donchian channel to create the the channel using the body of the candles instead of the high/lows. For example highest open/close for the top and lowest open/close for bottom channel. Is there a way to create this custom study?

You would have to modify the source code to do this. This study is available in the file studies7.cpp which is located in your ACS_Source folder under the main Sierra Chart folder. Refer to the following for how to build a custom study: How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Found it, what exactly would I need to change to get it to perform this way indicated. SCSFExport scsf_DonchianChannel(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { SCSubgraphRef Subgraph_HighestHigh = sc.Subgraph[0]; SCSubgraphRef Subgraph_LowestLow = sc.Subgraph[1]; SCSubgraphRef Subgraph_Midline = sc.Subgraph[2]; SCInputRef Input_Length = sc.Input[3]; SCInputRef Input_UseClose = sc.Input[4]; if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "Donchian Channel"; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.AutoLoop = true; Subgraph_HighestHigh.Name= "Highest High"; Subgraph_HighestHigh.DrawStyle= DRAWSTYLE_LINE; Subgraph_HighestHigh.DrawZeros= true; Subgraph_HighestHigh.GraphicalDisplacement= 1; Subgraph_LowestLow.Name = "Lowest Low"; Subgraph_LowestLow.DrawStyle= DRAWSTYLE_LINE; Subgraph_LowestLow.DrawZeros= true; Subgraph_LowestLow.GraphicalDisplacement= 1; Subgraph_Midline.Name = "Mid Line"; Subgraph_Midline.DrawStyle= DRAWSTYLE_LINE; Subgraph_Midline.LineStyle= LINESTYLE_DOT; Subgraph_Midline.DrawZeros= true; Subgraph_Midline.GraphicalDisplacement= 1; Input_Length.Name = "Length "; Input_Length.SetInt(5); Input_Length.SetIntLimits(1, MAX_STUDY_LENGTH); Input_UseClose.Name = "Use Close instead of High and Low"; Input_UseClose.SetYesNo(false); return; } float Lowest = FLT_MAX; float Highest = -FLT_MAX; if (Input_UseClose.GetYesNo()) { for (int BarIndex = sc.Index - (Input_Length.GetInt() - 1); BarIndex <= sc.Index; BarIndex++) { Highest = (Highest < sc.Close[BarIndex]) ? sc.Close[BarIndex] : Highest; Lowest = (Lowest > sc.Close[BarIndex]) ? sc.Close[BarIndex] : Lowest; } } else { for (int BarIndex = sc.Index - (Input_Length.GetInt() - 1); BarIndex <= sc.Index; BarIndex++) { if (Highest < sc.High[BarIndex]) Highest = sc.High[BarIndex]; if (Lowest > sc.Low[BarIndex]) Lowest = sc.Low[BarIndex]; } } Subgraph_HighestHigh[sc.Index] = Highest; Subgraph_LowestLow[sc.Index] = Lowest; Subgraph_Midline[sc.Index] = (Highest + Lowest)/2.0f; } |
