Hi @mastertrader,

A screenshot would help to understand your problem.

Thanks @aslan. I don't know how I missed that...

Requests:

1. Auto e-mail update on new releases, or an option to subscribe to one, along with a very brief change log on release.

2. Concurrent Non CLR version with new releases, and listed version number for Non CLR version.

3. Label in titlebar of running SC instance if CLR or Non CLR version.

Ok, do what Aslan says and also change the default tool to the hand tool under Tool Settings >> General >> After Single Tool Use Change To: Hand. Then (this is where the magic happens), under Tool Settings >> Chart Values, check the second box for "Always on When Using Other Tools".

All this lets you drag the chart every which way and still have the cursor on all the time. Phew.

Enabling the always on when using other tools, makes my charts look super jumpy, as they auto scroll in other timeframes while I am using the drawing tool. Do most people use this setting?

Yes, but not in any official capacity.

Mike

Will they implement requests posted here only for futures.io (formerly BMT) members, or do we have a better chance also posting through their support board?

I am biased of course.

I've seen them implement majority of requests made here. You can of course to take the risk to post directly on their forum, I am sure they prefer that

I prefer you post here

That's great to see. Posting on their forum may indeed be a risk for me, as I have a lot of potential requests , and don't want to get yelled at , lol. Although I guess the only downside here is they probably don't have time to ackowledge/confirm/reject/ridicule our requests here, so we won't know the status of them.

Being new to SC and testing it out, I have a long list of either requests, or questions on how to do something. I know SC support seems to get annoyed (understandable) by "excessive posting" by one user on their boards, so wondering how would you recommend to address them here, ie one post, individual appropriate threads, etc?

You can start new threads as needed (if topics don't already exist) here in the Sierra subforum on futures.io (formerly BMT), there are SC users here that will help.

For the "High Low for Time Period study" an option to plot a mid line with an optional ability to plot continuous would be nice.

You can plot a midline using the Average of Two Subgraphs study, but not sure what you mean by ability to plot continuous.
