ZigZag Study: Referencing Values from other Chart/Study

Dear Support,

I would like to reference values from other chart/study to be shown right at the place where the reversal price is displayed. How can I achieve this?

Thank you,

This is not clear what you want to do but have a look at this particular study:

You would have to use the Spreadsheet Study to get the Zig Zag information. You would also need to use the Study/Price Overlay to get the data from the other chart to the chart with the Zig Zag and to have that information in the Spreadsheet. Be sure on the Zig Zag study that you set the Input for Additional Output for Spreadsheets to Yes.

Then, in the spreadsheet you would need to create an IF() statement in one of the formula columns (K through Z) that would look like the following:
=IF(ID1.SG3@3 > 0, ID2.SG1@3, 0)

Where ID1 is the ID of the Zig Zag study and ID2 is the ID of the Study/Price Overlay that has the data from the other chart study. This will then give you the data from the other Chart study at the point of the reversals.

You can then use this with the Text Display for Study or the Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text to get the data to display.

Hi SC Engineering,
To give you an example, I want to display the corresponding reading of the NYSE tick at every single reversal point of the ZigZag Study. By doing so, I can quickly glance at my chart and see how the tick increases/decreases as time progresses. The Text Display for Study can only show the last value. One workaround is that adding a Study/Price Overlay to reference values from the NYSE tick chart. Then open Tool Values window and use the crosshair to view readings at the reversal locations. However, this is not an ideal solution. Please see the attached and tell me if it is possible.
Thank you,
