Apologies for an easy question, I could not understand the help page on alerts. I wish to set a price alert where every time the price falls by $200 an alarm sounds. As well I want it to to work consistently and not only once. How can I set it up? Thanks |

Your requirement is vague. The 200.0 decline has to be in reference to something. That is not known.

The reference is the previous high. For example if I set the alert at this moment, the reference would be the current price. If the price drops by $200 WITHOUT making a new high, then the alarm will sound. If the price instead makes a new high then that new high is the new reference price. |

OK, what would be the timeframe of the chart bars?

Well the alarm process starts from the moment we set it. Why would the bar timeframe be relevant?

It does not necessarily matter, that is up to you. We just want to make sure that you have a clear understanding of how the Alert Condition Formula is intended to work. And not just simply a vague idea without knowing very detailed specifics. The reference is the previous high.
For example if I set the alert at this moment, the reference would be the current price. If the price drops by $200 WITHOUT making a new high, then the alarm will sound. If the price instead makes a new high then that new high is the new reference price. The Alert Formula for this is: =AND (H[-1] >= H[0], H[-1]-C >=200) Whether this accomplishes what you want or not, is up to you. We cannot provide further help since we do not provide formula programming help.

Correction: The correct Alert Formula for this is: =AND (H[-1] >= H[0], H[-1]-C >=200) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
