I'm stumped on how to set up an alert in SC. This particular example is something that is very easy to do in Tradestation using their scanner but I'm really trying to break free of TS so I need some help here.
On an Associated Watchlist against a daily chart I want to scan for the previous 4 days that are all either uniformly up or down (see example attached) with the fifth day showing a possibly reversal. Can you direct me to someone who can walk me thru this? This seems like a simple thing, but I have been searching your website and google, but have not found anything like this…would it be found under “candlestick Patterns finder” if so you need to pick a pattern, but Hook reversal” is not a choice. I may be looking in the totally wrong place, any advice would be great

You would need to use the Simple Alert feature for this. Refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php We do not provide formula programming help.

Use formulas like these: AND(C[-4]>O[-4],C[-3]>O[-3],C[-2]>O[-2],C[-1]>O[-1],C<O) AND(C[-4]<O[-4],C[-3]<O[-3],C[-2]<O[-2],C[-1]<O[-1],C>O) If you want to combine the alerts, use this: OR(AND(C[-4]>O[-4],C[-3]>O[-3],C[-2]>O[-2],C[-1]>O[-1],C<O), AND(C[-4]<O[-4],C[-3]<O[-3],C[-2]<O[-2],C[-1]<O[-1],C>O)) The separate alert formulas can be placed on the Alerts tab of any two studies. The combined alert formula can be placed on the Alerts tab of the Chart Settings. To see historical occurrences, add Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study to a chart, and place the combined formula in its Alerts tab. If you want different colors for each direction, add two instances of the Color Bar study, and place the separate formulas in each one's Alerts tab. |
