Post From: Creating a watchlist of custom calculations and scanning it for alert conditions

Hi fellow SC users, I'm trying to use Sierra Chart to automate something I am able to do manually on another platform. What I would like to be able to do is to define a number of custom calculations, consisting of various symbols, have them plotted on a chart and create alert conditions just like for any other chart. But I want to do this for many dozens of formulas. The new calculated symbol study which was recently added provides this in a limited fashion, the problem is you need to have a chart for each symbol which is part of the calculation, and the chart numbers are hard coded. So this does not scale well. Lets say I have the following calculations I want to scan (A+B+C)/D (A+B+E)/D (A+C+F)/D (D+E+F)/G E/(A+B+C) F/(A+B+C) etc... So I want to effectively get these charts loaded graphically, make some alert-enabled drawings on them like I would for a normal symbol, and add them to a watchlist so I can scan them on a regular basis. If anyone has any ideas how to do this in a scalable way (say for 100 formulas), without having to create hundreds of charts, I would be grateful to hear about it. Thanks! |
