I use a Flex-Renko-Inverse chart and a 5 minute chart.

My 5 minute chart has 3 separate Color Bar Based on Alert Condition studies which creates a LONGS/SHORTS/ or FLAT alert and prints the green/red/yellow diamonds for Trend in a lower region based on the alert (attached). I have a second set below that follows Momentum.

On the 5 minute chart, I also have a Text Display for Study from Chart to display the color result in Region 1 from these two lines of alerts so I can see at a glance what the alert condition is, ie. MOMO/ FLAT example in attached screen capture.

I have been able to use Study Overlay to get the 5 minute Color Bar Based on Alert condition diamonds on the Flex-Renko-Inverse chart lower region, however, I have not been successful in getting the Text Display for Study from Chart of the 5 minute on the Region 1 of the Flex-Renko-Inverse chart so I will know this information from the 5 minute on the Renko chart.

How is this accomplished? Thanks in advance.

We are not quite sure we understand how you are using the "Text Display for Study from Chart" study and what you are trying to do in terms of getting that to the other chart.

Are you using the "Text Display for Study From Chart" to try and display the information from the 5 minute chart to the Flex-Renko-Inverse chart? This would be the way to do what we think you are wanting to do.

Let us know if we are not understanding and please give us some additional information just on the specific thing that is not working.

On the 5 minute chart attachment 2014-01-04-15-41-33.png I provided you. Here is an attachment of the ThinkorSwim alerts/study chart that I am trying to duplicate on Sierra. 2024-01-05_18-16-45.png

Yes, on my 5 minute Sierra Chart, do you see the word "Momo" with Green Background on the 5 minute chart, and the next level below that is a red block and the word FLAT in yellow background on the third level down? Those are the Text Display that are color matched to the status of the alert on the bottom two diamond lines, currently Green diamond on first line of alerts and Yellow on the 3rd line of alerts.

I have not been able to have the alert position on the left as it is on Thinkorswim so I just had to set the vertical/horizontal place for each of the alerts, green/red/yellow for each Momo or Trend line. I would prefer to have the alert condition in the upper left corner, but when I had them set to the same location, the overlap was not accurate and the edges bled beyond the box.

You can not set the positions to be the same, as they will overlap, as you have seen. But you can adjust the Horizontal and Vertical positions for that study to place the display where you want in the upper left corner and have them next to each other.

Is there any smarter way to show the current 3 levels (ie. Green/Red/Yellow or Up/Down/Flat as text or Color Block) status of the two alerts from the 5 min Chart on the Flex Renko Inverse? Is there a different indicator that I can use to clean up the look, maybe a a table? Thanks

The best option is to create a custom study and then you can have better control over what is displayed and where. Refer to the following:
