Im trying to build an alert. I am using a hurst moving avg, and a weighted moving avg. I have then changing color when the slope changes. How can I build an alert that triggers when both MA,s change color either long or short. I cant find anything in the instructions. Thanks Ken |

Refer to the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Writing Formulas Based On Color Settings For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I tried using the formulas #8 and #9 , and neither one alerted a trade on the chart. I copy pasted the formulas from the Alert Formula Examples page. Maybe Im looking at it wrong, where if the two moving averages change color based on slope trigger the alert. Im doing this under the Trading system based on alert conditions. thanks ken |

I also want the trigger to happen when they are both in agreement at the same time....ie: both changed color base on slope thanks ken |

Example 8 works if there are no segments of equal value. Example 9 works if there is no more than one segment of equal value. This spreadsheet syntax formula works if there are any number of segments of equal value: Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Formula that Matches the Slope Coloring of a Study Subgraph Line (This formula can be converted to Alert syntax, and then used in the Spreadsheet Formula study.) Try this (this uses a variation of Example 9): - Add the Spreadsheet Formula study, check Hide Study, and use a formula like this in its Formula field: =IF(AND(ID1.SG1[0] > ID1.SG1[-1] , ID1.SG1[-1] <= ID1.SG1[-2]) , 1, IF(AND(ID1.SG1[0] < ID1.SG1[-1], ID1.SG1[-1] >= ID1.SG1[-2]) ,-1, ID3.SG1[-1])) where ID1 is one MA, and ID3 is this Spreadsheet Formula study. - Duplicate the above Spreadsheet Formula study and edit the formula to this: =IF(AND(ID2.SG1[0] > ID2.SG1[-1] , ID2.SG1[-1] <= ID2.SG1[-2]) , 1, IF(AND(ID2.SG1[0] < ID2.SG1[-1], ID2.SG1[-1] >= ID2.SG1[-2]) ,-1, ID4.SG1[-1])) where ID2 is the other MA and ID4 is this Spreadsheet Formula study. These formulas create a persistent variable where 1 is upsloped and -1 is downsloped. Buy signal: =OR(AND(ID3.SG1[-1] = -1 , ID3.SG1 = 1 , ID4.SG1 = 1),AND(ID4.SG1[-1] = -1 , ID4.SG1 = 1 , ID3.SG1 = 1)) Sell signal: =OR(AND(ID3.SG1[-1] = -1 , ID3.SG1 = 1 , ID4.SG1 = 1),AND(ID4.SG1[-1] = -1 , ID4.SG1 = 1 , ID3.SG1 = 1)) |

I read that for a fee Sierra can build strategies etc. I appreciate the work you have done for me, but I have decided that I would like to add two more indicators, and when all 3 are in agreement then place a trade. I hope that is the case. If so, how do I contact those folks? thanks Ken |

We do not build custom studies for customers. People like Tom Gilbert, who has been helping you does that kind of work.
