Post From: Audible/visible alert in Sierrachart on well defined times

Is it possible in sierrachart to give an audible or visible alert when there is e.g. 1 minute remaining for the bar close on the 5 minute chart
Try this on the 1 min chart:
Add the Bar Numbering study
- Hide the study
- Set the 'Number Every N Bars' to 5.
- Set the 'Do Not Reset At Start Of New Day' to No.
- Use a formula like this on its Alerts tab:
=ID1.SG1>0
where the Bar Numbering study is ID1.

This will alert at the open of the bar prior to the 5 min multiple bar, e.g. 9:34, 9:39, 9:44.

This assumes the chart's Session Start Time is a 5 minute multiple.

If you also want to color the bar, add the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, and use the same formula on its Alerts tab.
