is there a way to set an alert at a price level and not whole bar or background ? Example - horizantal delta is >100 at 50 on crude , can there be an alert that plots at 50 ??

thanks

Yes. It is possible to access the Volume at Price data for chart bars using Simple Alerts. This is documented here:

Sierra Chart support does not provide formula programming help. This is not the kind of support model that we offer here.

There are base graph identifiers for accessing the Volume at Price data and they are documented here on that page:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AlertCondAndScan.html#BaseGraphIdentifiers

This will give you an alert when the difference between the ask volume and the bid volume at the price level of 50 is greater than 100:
=(AVAP[50][0] - BVAP[50][0]) > 100

A user is expected to study the documentation. We were not sure if you even had an understanding of Simple Alerts. This is why we gave you a link to that page to study.

So it is important for you to have a basic understanding of the Simple Alert functionality first.

This is the Simple Alert formula to use in the Chart Settings:
=(AVAP[50][0] - BVAP[50][0]) > 100


It will give you a text and audio alert. There really is not a way to mark the bar at the 50 price level.

What can be done is you can highlight the entire bar by using the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study and use the formula with that:
