Hello, I would like to extract the text from the "Zig Zag" study (HH, HL, LH, LL), from a Reversal Bars chart of "NQ", to a Reversal Bars chart of "ES" inside the same Chartbook. Both charts have the same template and number of reversal bars, and my goal is to get a signal (star or whatever) into my destination chart. I would like to know if you could help my finding an efficient way to do that. I have tried to program the "Color Bars based on Alerts" study inside the source chart, and then trying to import it threw the "Study/Price Overlay" study inside the destination chart. It works (I can manage to generate the text alert), but it does not seem to be the most efficient way to do that. I have been spending some time now, and facing some difficulties to program the alert from the "Color Bars based on Alerts" related to the "Zig Zag" study. To clarify things up a little bit, my process consist of: 1-Generating Zig Zag study inside source chart 2-Coding an alert inside the study Color Bars based on Alerts, related to the Zig Zag study, also inside the source chart 3-Using the study Price/Study Overlay inside the destination chart to import the alert that I coded to generate the initial Zig Zag study text (because I can't find a better way to do it). I feel this is complicated and that there should be an easy way to complete this task. Also, I could not make the logic of the code to work, but I could manage to import the text in the wrong HH, HL, LH, LH candles. Have a look at the picture. You can see that there is one alert missing in the destination chart, and one wrong alert in the source chart (HH vs LH) Regards http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=145257336372.png http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=145257342836.png |

Hi, My account is now active, I had a problem with my broker, I was under another username but I fixed the problem. Could you please provide support for this question, because I think it can be helpful to the comunity. I tryed to find information about it, and could not find anything after alot of reading and searching. Also, I think it will definitely add value to the users in general, because I saw some questions around topics like that. Regards |

OK, give us some time to get to this. We have got a large backlog right now. Just please allow us to get to this which will probably be over the weekend or next week.

We worked on this and determined this is impossible to do reliably under all conditions: I would like to extract the text from the "Zig Zag" study (HH, HL, LH, LL), from a Reversal Bars chart of "NQ", to a Reversal Bars chart of "ES" inside the same Chartbook. Because we do not see how it is possible to have two different symbols completely synchronized with each other when using variable timeframe bars. The closest that can be accomplished is attached as a Chartbook. We cannot offer anything better. What you are doing is inherently very complicated. The attached Chartbook uses the symbol ESH16. You need to change the symbol of the charts as you require: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SwitchingSymbols.html The attached file needs to be saved to the Data subfolder in your Sierra Chart installation folder.

Well let me try to explain this better. If from the Zig Zag study from "ES" makes a new low (LL, lower low), I want to know what did "NQ" Zig Zag study do (Zig Zag's are almost the same). The bottom line is I want to compare the (HH, HL, LH, LL) from the two instruments, to valid the move from one compared to the other. I was trying to do that by printing the Text from the study to the source chart. Is this possible to have an alerts, for example when "NQ" does not make a LL and "ES" did ? Regards |

This inherently is very difficult because the chart bars are not synchronized between each other because you are using variable timeframe bars. Probably this is possible but it is complicated and it is far beyond the scope of our support and requires custom programming. It requires that you find the corresponding bar between charts which the Study/Price Overlay study does but then you have to look to the left and to the right of the bar, to actually determine where the high and low for that time segment is. If the chart bars are based upon a fixed amount of time like 5 minutes per bar, then this is easy to do. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
