According to this page - http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php, when an alert condition formula is in a true state, I'm supposed to see an ! displayed in front of the study graph. For some reason I don't see that. Maybe I turned it off somehow. I can't figure out how to get that to work. I can see the alerts in alert manager and the audio alert is working fine but it takes me a few seconds to figure out which chart it is even though I know which symbol and which study is triggering the alert. Is there an on/off switch somewhere for the alert highlight feature? Thanks!

Do you see the study name with the Alert Condition formula, visible on the chart?

No, I don't see anything on the chart. Just an entry in alert manager and the audio alert. Thanks.

Therefore, this is why you do not see the ! or the highlighting of the study name.

What Chart Region is the study displayed in?

I tried checking the box "Display Study Name.Subgraph Names and Subgraph Values - Global". I also tried checking "Display Study Name" and I can see the study name after but the alert still didn't highlight it. I was hoping it is just something simple that you can turn on and off..

The alert I was hoping to see is a study in Chart Region 2 directly under the main price graph.

I was hoping this is something simple but looks like maybe it's not that straightforward. If it's not an easy fix, I can live with it. Thanks again.

It's the MACD study but it's ok. I don't want to take up any more of your time. I'm going to just use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study so I have a workaround. Thanks again!
