Post From: Calculating Price Change Since Last Alert

Here is the chart.

The study in question in the provided chart is id53, named [TEST ENTRY] SUMMARY - ZONE A, LONG.
(My actual chart has more like this.) It is located at the top of the studies list.

An example of the issue can be seen easily in replay mode. Set the date and time to 2023-12-29, 15:40:00. In my chart settings, I limited the chart data to just this one day.
Open the Study Summary window. The first study column is the study in question, and the RSI studies next to it are there for comparison.

My replay settings are "Calculate At Every TIck/Trade," "By Number of Trades," Unit 1.
Run the replay and wait for the bar at 15:40:53 to open, then pause the replay and press Ctrl+Ins.
This should highlight the previous bar's background, along with the study's column in the Study Summary window.

If you right click the chart and click "Studies" and press OK to exit out, the background highlights will disappear again.

You can also check how this study behaves in a spreadsheet. The study should be located in column AA.

My previous experience tells me this issue will also occur with real-time data but I have been running disconnected from market data of late and have not tested this particular set of studies in real-time, so I cannot confirm that right now. But prior tests have shown me that what I see in replay mode is similar to what occurs in real-time.

I want to note, I read something about Overlay-type indicators not behaving well with alerts. I don't know if it applies here, but one of my foundational studies is based on "Study Overlay - OHLC" which is set to the live chart's Open. I use this to reference the bar Open as a study, in order to use the Open value in the Divide/Ratio study.
I have many simple alerts referencing it just fine even in real-time, but I thought I'd bring it up in case it is a potential problem. If you want to look at it, I placed it second on the list of studies, id323.


If you intend to send the chart back to me, I'd like it sent to me privately.
Thanks
