I have an indicator on my Trade Navigator chart that i would like to have on my Sierra chart.

I call it the Bollinger Band Brake-out trade or BBB for short. When the price goes out side of the BB by 2 ticks or more the price will reverse for x number of ticks. Here is a copy of the code that i wrote for TN charts. This puts a red down arrow at the top of the bar that exceeds the upper BB by 2 or more ticks and closes below the UBB.
(High - Bollinger Upper Band (Close , 12 , 2)) > .2 And Close < Bollinger Upper Band (Close , 12 , 2) And ((Bollinger Upper Band (Close , 12 , 2) - Bollinger Lower Band (Close , 12 , 2)) * 10) > 24 … the BB width also has to be more than 24 ticks wide.

I do the same thing for the price going below the LBB.

Any thoughts on how to implement this?

Yes use the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study:

It can be set to also draw an arrow on the bar where the condition is met.
