Dear SC, I have an panel with RSI + other studies. I draw a horizontal ray in the panel. I want to set an alert for the RSI crossing the ray. But when I right click the ray and go to set alerts, I do not have the option for setting the alert to the RSI but only allows me to set alerts for another study in the panel. How can I fix this? thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-05-16 16:48:00

You cannot associate a Chart Drawing with a specific study. Therefore, the only solution is to put the RSI in a separate Chart Region.

If I hide the other study, SC allows me to set the alert to the RSI. So that is what I am doing and then unhiding it after the alert triggers. However, if I didn't have to hide the other study which shares the panel, that would the ideal. I cannot do a separate panel. I do not use many studies and need the price to occupy most of the screen. |

Not sure that hiding the study and then un-hiding it is going to work. Once you unhide the other study, the evaluation of the alert condition most likely is going to be wrong.

See the screen shots the RSI is in the bottom panel. I have the additional "horizontal lines" study in the same panel since I like additional lines at 20 and 80 in addition to 40 and 60. The purple ray is what I am setting alerts to. With the "horizontal lines" study enabled to give me the extra lines at 20, 80, when I right click on the purple ray to set an alert I do NOT have the option to set an alert for RSI crossing the ray once I remove the horizontal lines, I do have the option to set an alert for RSI crossing. |

Is there a question here? What you are looking to do is simply unsupported. If you can determine a solution, that is fine but we do not have any other suggestions.

the suggestion was to please allow the user to set an alert to any study in a given panel and not just the most recently added one instead of having to hide/remove a study from a panel to set an alert. that is all. your program is very powerful and I am entrenched but I think it could be even more popular if these little idiosyncrasies could be sorted. |

I am not holding my breath. I have found a way around it. although the solution is a nuisance. setting an alert to a study on a chart is a basic function. as for your comment, it might explain reviews such as this one http://day-trading-software.toptenreviews.com/sierra-chart-review.html I like your software. I will probably continue to use it. However, a new trader reading these reviews probably would not make it their first choice. |

Those reviews are not worth anything and are illegitimate. They claim Sierra Chart is difficult to use but complete nonsense. We hear the exact opposite compared to some other programs out there. They also say we provide little support. Complete utter nonsense. They also have no sense about the difficulty of supporting Sierra Chart and the excellent support that we do provide. Their comments are just ridiculous nonsense. We could care less about garbage reviews like that. It is only a reflection of their own ignorance and nothing else. Also our comments do not explain a garbage quality review like that. Be very wary of sites that claim top 10 reviews. These are the absolute worst possible sources of information. They are not legitimate or accurate. Our success also does not come from reviews, but instead by what we actually do and provide. Do you really want to pay attention to a supposed "review" which it is certainly not, from someone who is not even a user of Sierra Chart. That review is years old and nothing more than for people who do not want to do their own evaluations. People need to think for themselves make their own evaluations and judgment and not be told what the media tells them. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

The prior posting has been updated. Also, thinking about this the more, you already have the ability to solve this by setting the RSI study to be the first study displayed in that Chart Region. Refer to: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartStudies.html#StudyDisplayOrder We will update the documentation to explain this.

Yes it is, and this is extensively and thoroughly supported far beyond what many other programs provide.Refer to: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php Looking at this some more it does not make sense to be using a Ray and setting a Chart Drawing alert. You simply need to write the alert formula directly on the RSI to do what you want. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

moving the RSI up fixed it. that is all that was required thank you. entering formulas is not time effective for large numbers of charts. a ray is easier to set, does not require logic and it is gone once the ray is deleted with a mouse click instead of having to go back in and manually remove the alert after it has served its purpose. |

If you use the Spreadsheet System/Alert study you can use a spreadsheet where you can enter the formulas or values on a single Sheet. Multiple charts can share the same Spreadsheet and you could have one single Sheet which is referenced for all of the values or formulas.

thanks for the suggestion. but the way i trade i only need an alert on a single chart (time frame) once I have identified the midpoint of a corrective structure. the ray is the easiest way to quickly set an alert and then delete it when it has served its purpose. i trade 22 markets so this is the best for me. |
