i've been looking into this and sadly, i don't think it's possible...

you can break the profile into it's own column, or the entire chart all displayed broken out (https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference/TimePriceOpportunityCharts.html)


but i don't think you can have the same day displayed both as a condensed profile, and broken out profile on the same chart


(i'm very hopeful that someone else has figured out how to do this! @CenFlo might know )

There may be a way, it would be best to check the SC support board and/or post there to see if you can duplicate the current session and expand only one of the two.

I don't really use the function that much and did use it to some extent in Windotrader, but found that it wasn't that helpful during the session I was trading. Your mileage may vary.

inquired to SC here - https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=32277

from what i found, it is definitely possible because @daVinciLite on FIO has already coded it and has supported it since 2015-02-19

but because SC is updated constantly, the .dll file accordingly also needs to get updated regularly. which would be 10x easier for SC engineers to maintain, then a SC user by himself.

hence i asked if this feature would be added as part of SC officially >> *fingers crossed*

Hello,

OK I will update the dll for the current version so this feature will be available. I have been using an older version of SC so it is a hassle to compile things in the current version. It is frustrating that SC engineers seam to make unnecessary changes to their code that forces already working dll's to fail.

hey, that's awesome!

what you mentioned is also why i think it's a great step if SC will take on the task of making the study a part of their code...

that way they can maintain it, not you.

maybe if everyone interested can apply some pressure here, adding '+1' or comments they will listen: https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=32277

but either way, thank you for updating the .dll!!

Looks like it is going to take more work to update the study than I thought. SC made some major changes. I'll research it and see how to fix it.

Good Trading,

OK I updated the study. Still can not delete the profile if needed but will fix that soon. It is back up and running.

Hi daVinciLite/WT,
Thank you for your work. I have visited your SC thread 12456.

In attachment one (.doc file), I captured potential downloads, page 1, top, shows
1. 2 64-bit .dll files 4/6/2018 (my system is Windows 7, 64 bit) put into data folder (screenshot page 1, top)
2. 1 .cpp file 2/19/2015 put into ACS_Source folder (screenshot page 1, top)

In attachment two (.png file) note
1. SC v1743
2. 2 charts with identical studies box, empty
3. 1 add study box with the downloaded .dll files not found

I have rebooted sc in case there was a recognition problem. But dlls do not show.

Since I use SC extended TPO and "conventional" charts in combination for unified interpretation and signals, I am very interested in the capabilities of your unique study.

Thank you for your help,
Marty

Hi DVL-WT,
One other problem is posted with each SC login. See attachment for SC posting dialogue box and its documentation. Basically it says that some custom studies won't load or display and may have to be reworked by developer. I don't know if that applies here.
