Hello - I am using an Alert Condition, as shown below, which detects when (4) of my Stochastic Studies are below 20 to paint the background a color. =AND( AND( ID14.SG2 < 20.0 , ID9.SG2 < 20.0 ) , AND( ID12.SG2 < 20.0 , ID13.SG2 < 20.0 ) ) It works for the most part, but often Colors the Background when several of the Stochastic Studies are less then about 30, not 20. Is there a reason for this, or something I overlooked? I've only been using Sierra Charts for a couple of months. Thank you, |

A more simple way to write this is: =AND(ID14.SG2 < 20.0 , ID9.SG2 < 20.0, ID12.SG2 < 20.0 , ID13.SG2 < 20.0) It is impossible from our perspective to say what the problem is. In general we would check the values of the referenced studies using the Chart Values Tool: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Tools.html#ChartValues Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Ok, Thank you. I will try that now. Another Question - I set Value Format to ".0001" in both "Chart->Chart Settings" and the "Color Back Ground Alert Study->Settings", but that did not seem to make any difference in this case. My Question is - Since Chart->Chart Settings->Value Format is on the Main Price Graph, does it affect other Chart Regions that have their own studies and subgraphs? Thank you for the help. |

You need to set the Value Format setting on the studies that the alert is referencing. Refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php#ValueFormat Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thank you. The way you wrote the AND Logic seems to make a difference. That seems to solve the issue. I did set precision on the Study, like you mentioned. To that point -> when you set precision, shouldn't you also set the "Use Full Precision When Evaluating Formula" ? Thank you for the help. |

Whether you use full precision or not, is up to you. That is not always a good thing to use.
