Hey SC gurus! Quick question... if I wanted to display an active indicator value next to current price on my chart, how would I go about doing that? TIA!

You can do it with the Spreadsheet Study study.

Add the Spreadsheet Study study, and give it a name in the Spreadsheet Name field.
- Set the Chart Region to 1
- Set the Draw Style of K (SG1) to Text
- Check 'Name Label' and set the Horizontal Align to Right
- Put this in cell K2:
=TEXT(VALUE(ID1.SG1@3))
where ID1.SG1 is the KVO study; edit as needed.
- Put this in cell K3:
=B3

Cell K2 is the subgraph name and the K2 formula assigns it a dynamic name.
The K3 formula returns a price that assigns the Y axis location of the K2 name.

Hey @tomgilb, I followed your instructions and it worked, only downside is that the number only updates on a new bar and not continuously/realtime as it does on the indicator. Any ideas?

You'll need to add the Chart Recalculation - Periodic study, and set the Recalculation Time In Seconds to 1.

There is an chart study that will do that without having to go through a spreadsheet study.

Those would be the Ouside Bar (orange) and Inside Bar (yellow) studies. The rest of the bars (blue/green) are just my global graphics settings in SC.
