Please refer to the attached pic, how can one sum up the volume at price for Number Bars for x number of periods? So for example, at the price of -19.50, how can one get look back to 5 volume bars with volume of 1194, 9200, 67, 22, and 2109 summed up all for the price at -19.50?

You need to use the "Spreadsheet Formula" study along with the VAP() function for Alerts. Despite its name, the Spreadsheet Formula uses the Alert syntax. Refer to the following: Spreadsheet Formula Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions Therefore, to sum the last 2 total volumes for the price of -19.50, your formula would be the following: =VAP(-19.50, 0) + VAP(-19.50, -1) We'll let you work out the full formula for 5 bars.

John, for the VAP() function, is there syntax where it can reference last traded price or current price + / - 2 prices or does it need specific price input

You can use any of the Alert options that reference to a price point and nest them. So for instance, to get the volume at the Last traded price of the current bar, you can enter the following formula in your Spreadsheet Formula study: =VAP(C, 0) Where C is the Close (last). If you want to offset from that value, then you can use the "TICKSIZE" variable with this. For example, if you want the Total Volume at two ticks above the Last price of the current bar, the formula would be the following: =VAP(C + 2 * TICKSIZE, 0) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

got it, thanks for that. Follow up question: in addition to the total volume, is there a call to get separate crossing buy or crossing sell volume in the same way?

You can only get the "Bid" and "Ask" volumes individually, as is done with the VAP, by using AVAP and BVAP. Refer to the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions You can then manipulate that data as you want.

hey John- are there any other functions one can use for the formula like above? Is there documentation for all available functions to explore?

The Alert functions are all listed at the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Alert Condition Formula Format Some of the Spreadsheet Functions also work with Alerts. The full list of spreadsheet functions is here: Spreadsheet Functions As to which work and which do not, you would just need to try. But the most obvious items like AND, OR, CROSSOVER, CROSSFROMBELOW, etc. will work. Items that are very spreadsheet oriented, will not - such as ADDRESS, and CELL. We know we should mark the functions that work in both, but it takes time to get to everything and this is just one of those things that we have not had time to get to.
