Auto marker placement

Is there a way to have a marker, such as an x, or chart drawing placed at the exact time/place on the main price graph/bar when an alert condition is met? I know that the exact time of the alert is recorded through the alerts manager and i know i can have a change of background or other visual indication of the alert occurring but i am hoping to find a way to put an identifier at the location on the price bar/candle it occurs. I primarily want to use this when i replay a chart but i would assume if its possible it would also happen on a live candle.

Thanks for any support

I may be missing it as there is a lot of info on those links but i couldn't see anything that indicates that it places a maker/drawing at the exact point an alert happens on the bar/candle. The best i could find was setting to mark at the high or low of the bar.

Another option would be if there is a formula that would set a marker/drawing at the point an alert condition is met at the exact price it happens, not at high or low, above or below the bar/candle, that would work too.

Thanks

Oh, I understand, I misunderstood the question. Sorry, I thought you wanted to test the condition at a particular time and label it with a signal / marker.

Another option would be if there is a formula that would set a marker/drawing at the point an alert condition is met at the exact price it happens,
What you write is only possible on a running chart. Otherwise, after loading the chart it is not possible to show the exact price because the bars are loaded in their full size at once - not originally as they were created.

Would using the replay feature be considered a running chart? If so how would i go about automatically placing a marker/drawing when the alert is triggered at the price point it happens?

Thanks,

What Sierra Chart has available, is this study:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

It colors bars or can use some other marker at bars where the specified condition is true. And yes you can use it during a chart replay.

As far as highlighting the particular price that would really require using ACSIL instead:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

Yeah, doesnt look like the color bar based on alert condition will do what i need. It does look like i will need something custom. thanks for the replys!
