Dividing a Study Output by a Custom Value

I would like to know if it’s possible to divide the output of a study by a custom constant value rather than just the predefined variables. Specifically, I have a study that calculates the difference between the high and low prices, (in points) and I’d like to take that result and divide it by a whole number before displaying it on the chart. Right now, the "Study Subgraph Divide" feature seems to only allow selecting from a list of predefined variables, which do not include the constant I need. Is there a way to manually specify a number for the division, or another method to achieve this outcome? Any guidance or steps you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance! |

The "Study Subgraph Divide" is the correct study to do this. You define the item you want to divide by a set value (the Divider). Are you looking at the "Study Subgraphs Divide" instead (note the extra 's' in Subgraphs)?

I'm only looking to do a single division step with a custom value, not just selecting from a predefined set. For example, I’ve got the "Study Subgraphs Difference" study outputting the daily range (High minus Low, say 24 points). Now, I’d like to take that result and simply divide it by any arbitrary number I choose, using the "Study Subgraph Divide" study (with one 's'). The issue is that "Study Subgraph Divide" only allows me to pick from a set list of inputs, rather than letting me type in a custom value as the divisor. Is there a way to directly enter a specific number for the division, or is this limitation inherent to the study’s design? Essentially, I need to know if it’s possible to use the "Study Subgraph Divide" to divide by the Study Subgraphs Difference Study. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-12-18 03:06:40

Make sure you are looking at the correct study. This is it: Study Subgraph Divide The Divider Input can be any value. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

It only allows open, high, low, last, volume, # of trades, OHLC Avg, HLC Avg, HL Avg, Bid Volume and Ask Volume. How would I apply it to the output of the study subgraph difference study?

From documentation: . To select the study to use, set the Based On study setting to that study and set the Input Data Input to the specific study Subgraph.
