Is this possible? If so, can it be possible to color a background if 2 or more Stochs are in sloping at the same time? |

Yes this is possible. The formula for this will be somewhat involved. For an example of slope calculations, look at example #8 here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php#FormulaExamples Here is the complete documentation for Alert Formulas: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I tried example 8 but it did not work. I want to Color the Background of the Region 2 based on whether the Slow %K slope is up and the Slow %K slope is down. Auto-Coloring change the line Based on Slope, I want to Color the Background. |

Also, any chance a Stoch can be drawn as a horizontal bar that changes color based on slope? See attached. |

Try this: Add three instances of the Color Background Based On Alert Condition study, one each for up, down and equal. Set the Chart Region to all the same region as the Stoch study, then hide the Stoch study. For the upsloping %K, use this formula on Alerts tab of the Color Background study: =ID1.SG1>ID1.SG1[-1] For the downsloping %K, use this formula on Alerts tab of the Color Background study: =ID1.SG1>ID1.SG1[-1] For the flat %K, use this formula on Alerts tab of the Color Background study: =ID1.SG1=ID1.SG1[-1] where ID1 is the Stoch study, edit as needed. Size the chart region small so that it looks like a horizontal bar. |
