Is it possible to create a buy/sell criterion that uses multiple time frames (i.e. different time settings) and/or that uses symbols from other charts with the same or different timeframe.

Hi. Is there a way to create an indicator in SierraChart where the indicator is composed of an average of multiple time frames. Ex. Given a 30m chart of IBM and a 14 period ADX. Is there a way to create an indicator "x" for the 30m chart where each 30m bar has a corresponding " x " composed of (5min ADX(14)+10m ADX(14) + 30m ADX(14) )/3

Yes, you can do it relatively easy with a spreadsheet study, just add all 3 charts, add the adx to each of the 3 charts, then use the study/price overlay study to overlay the ADX from the 30m and 10m chart onto the 5 minute chart, then hide the ADX and two overlayed studies on the 5m chart, then add a spreadsheet study and create a formula to take the average of the 3 in cell K3 and plot K3. If you don't like spreadsheets and don't mind waiting a couple days then I can hard code a study that would eliminate the spreadsheet and pull the ADX from each of the 3 charts to create a composite.

So I created this study mainly using code from other studies I made for other people, but the code (and the other studies) aren't working anymore, so I have to figure out if they changed how this works. Even though I have specified the other chart numbers it is pulling the ADX from the chart the custom study is applied to 3 times and not from the other charts. If they haven't changed anything then I am a little stumped. Will get back to it tomorrow.

So far my coding efforts are failing, see here Referencing other charts if you haven't already you may want to jump to the spreadsheet solution and I will post if/when I get it figured out, unless someone else wants to jump in here and help out.
