Hello SC,

Suggesting new study - especially now with new real time feed up and running - study will be like countdown timer window within a chart - it will show the spread (difference between bid and ask) in real time and it will change the background to any color pre-set once the spread is wider than one tick (or can be set to any number like 2 or 3)to trigger background color or number color change for 1 second or so - for example.
Suggested settings for the study:
color: for numbers, background, trigger color (background or number or both)
sound alert: when preset spread occurred sound alert triggered
spread trigger: number >1 to trigger in ticks
number size: to change the size of a number
would be good to move it anywhere in the chart
Is it something that can be done guys?
Thank You!

You can color the background with the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study. Set the Draw Style to Background and use this formula:
=(ASK-BID)/TICKSIZE>1

If you want to also display the value on the chart, you'll need to use a spreadsheet study instead, then use the Text Display for Study study to display it.

Sierra is flexible enough to do many things using existing studies and without programming.
