Hello 1. Is it possible to hide the Y and date values from the compact tools value window? Also, there was no option to add close values in the tools value window. 2. Is it possible to add a 'x' button next to open position in a chart to close that position at market ? 3. Move stop to Breakeven in trade menu is not working. 4. Is it possible to extend the line to left for open position and orders ? (My text is on the right) Thank you. |

1. No, you can not hide the Y and Date Values. We are not understanding what you mean by "there was no option to add close values in the tools value window." If you are referring to the option under "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Values >> Settings [button]" then Last is the same as Close. We use both terms interchangably. 2. There is not a way to do this. There are various options for Flattening through Control Bar buttons and Keyboard shortcuts. 3. There must be something about the setup that you do not have correct. It definitely works. Refer to the instructions here: Attached Orders: Move to Breakeven for Stop 4. Yes, refer to the following settings: Chart Settings: Align Order Cancel (X) Button to Right (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) Chart Settings: Align Trade Drawings Text to Right (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) Chart Settings: Trade Drawing Left Align % (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

3. I don’t want to use attached order. I just want my manually placed stop order to move to BE. 4. My text is aligned on the right side of the chart but i want the horizontal line to extend to the left. The horizontal line doesn’t extend to the left like how it is if i keep my text aligned on the left at 100%. I am still unable to do it. |

3. There is not a way to do this. Something you might want to look into, however is the "Trade Management by Study" study. Refer to the following to see if this might be able to help you achieve what you want: Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops 4. There is not an option to have the text on the right and the line extend to the left, but you can make this happen for the position line by using two studies. Follow these instructions to get what you want: - Add the "Trading: Position Average Price" to the chart. Hide this study. - Add the "Study Subgraph Reference" study to the chart. Make sure it is set to be in Region 1 with a scale of "Same as Region". - Reference the "Trading: Position Average Price" study in the "Study Subgraph Reference" study. - Set the "Draw Style" for the subgraph to be "Line at Last Bar Left to Right". - Change the color/width/style of the line in the subgraphs tab for the study to have the line as you want it. Refer to the following for reference: Trading Information Windows: Trade Data Studies Chart Studies: Line at Last Bar Left to Right (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_LINE_AT_LAST_BAR_LEFT_TO_RIGHT) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Would it be possible to implement 1 , 2, 4 in upcoming updates? I tried 4 like you said but it still didnt work properly the line from left would cut out somewhere in center. I think even the color idk how it would come up red if im short / green if long. So could this feature be added in a simple manner in an upcoming update? Thanks |

1. Just to confirm, to have the OHLC values displayed of the candle my pointer is on, the compact tools value window is the only way right ? 2. I think if there can be an 'x' button besides an open order to cancel then a 'x' button besides a position should not be difficult to add and I think a lot of chart traders will like this feature. 4. That would be great. This is one thing i cant live without. So can you'll please do add it in the upcoming update. (I am attaching a SS for your reference) Thank you so much |

You can use either the "Compact Tool Values Window" or the "Tool Values Window", but these are the only ways to view this information. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I then hope if you’ll can also add the option to hide the Y and Date values. I think they are unnecessary

Hello, I have two charts tiled in one window (attached SS). I want to be able to have compact tools value windows visible on both of them separately, would that be possible to do? Currently, the CTVW only shows up on the chart which is active. Thanks |

No, there is only one Compact Tool Values Window.

Does that mean when I click on the other chart i.e make the other chart active. The CTVW moves from non active chart to the active chart ? I was assuming that theres two CTVW and just because a chart window is non active the CTVW hides itself. |

The Compact Tool Values Window displays the information for the chart where the pointer is located. it does not need to be the "active" chart. Note that Compact Tool Values Window does not move. It may expand/contract depending on what needs to be displayed for each chart, but the window itself is a single window that keeps a specific position where you have put it.

I am uploading a screen recording of what I am trying to say. The Compact Tool Values Window displays the information for the chart where the pointer is located. I am aware of that. What I'm basically asking is : to have the CTVW visible on both of my charts. They both need to be visible, check the recording :when i click on the upper chart, the CTVW becomes visible of that chart and CTVW of the bottom chart becomes hidden and vice versa. I want them both to be visible always for their respective charts. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-02-05 18:10:47

As stated previously, there is only a single Compact Tool Values Window, so you can not have it showing for both charts at the same time. The only way you could do this would be to have another instance of Sierra Chart running.

4. There is not an option to have the text on the right and the line extend to the left, but you can make this happen for the position line by using two studies. Follow these instructions to get what you want:
- Add the "Trading: Position Average Price" to the chart. Hide this study. - Add the "Study Subgraph Reference" study to the chart. Make sure it is set to be in Region 1 with a scale of "Same as Region". - Reference the "Trading: Position Average Price" study in the "Study Subgraph Reference" study. - Set the "Draw Style" for the subgraph to be "Line at Last Bar Left to Right". - Change the color/width/style of the line in the subgraphs tab for the study to have the line as you want it. Would it be possible to have the color of the line based on long/short red/green respectively in the steps you’ve given. I tried to use Color base on +/- but did not work for me. And the steps you gave seem to be only for open position, I want the same thing for open orders too. Would that be possible anyhow? like text aligned to right and the line extended to the left for open orders on my chart. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-02-09 16:40:40

You would have to use a "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to get the line colored different from the one color it has. Refer to the following: Color Bar Based on Alert Condition To get the line as you want for working orders you would need to create a custom study. We do not have a study that gets the prices for the working orders, so there is no way to generate a line.
