Is it possible to have a color bar based on alert condition that references data in a different chart? I have charts 1 and 2. 1 is a regular 5 point range chart. Chart 2 is a number bars chart that also has a volume study in region 2. Along with that volume study is a 10 period MA and a color bar based on alert study that triggers when volume of a bar is 2x greater than the MA and this works fine. I would like to show that alert on chart 1. I tried using the study on chart 1 with the formula =#2.ID25.SG1 >(2*#2.ID26.SG1) but that didn't work. I also tried using the Study/Price Overlay study but that didn't work either. Basically, I want one chart with just certain indicators which originate from other charts. Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-03-07 17:23:49

Yes it is possible through the Study/Price Overlay Study. You said this does not work, but this must mean you did not do something right related to this.

Actually, we understand the reason for the problem. Trying to overlay the results of a Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study from one chart onto another inherently is difficult. One method is documented here: Study Overlay - OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

How would the OHLC study overlay help as opposed to the Study/Price Overlay study? I don't see anything in either of those documents that helps explain why I can't accomplish what I want to.

I noticed what is going on. The dots are plotting using the value of the y axis from where the source is. So, if the volume of a bar was 2000 and I am looking at NQ currently trading around 6900, I have to go all the way down to 2000 to see the dot. I tried the different value format options but nothing changed. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-03-07 23:01:40

I just changed the source alert to draw on the main price graph and then referenced that and it works fine.
