Hi there, I want to create a simple alert that will notify me when, on a 5min timeframe, the Numbers bars' subgraph Nonzero Bid&Ask Vol at High/Low Highlight & Extension Lines is visible. (or the condition for that is true). It is the SG3 on the Numbers bars study. Is it possible to do that? If not, Is there a way to get notified every time a bar closes with a nonzero ask and a nonzero bid? I found this: Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Spreadsheet Study Equivalents of Simple Alerts and Main Price Graph Identifiers but when I add the Ask volume and the Bid volume study to my chart, I am only seeing on the spreadsheet system/alert chart the total volume of the day for a given price. I may not even need a spreadsheet system/alert study for that, but it is what I could get from my research. Best Regards, |

It is not possible to get the alert based on the Numbers Bars information. You can do it using a standard Alert using the BVAP and AVAP identifiers for the Bid Volume and Price and Ask Volume at Price respectively. You would just need to set the following for your alert: =OR(AND(AVAP(L, 0) > 0, BVAP(L, 0) > 0), AND(AVAP(H, 0) > 0, BVAP(H, 0) > 0)) The other thing is that you will want to enable the Alert option for Alert Only on Bar Close. Otherwise, you will get the alert whenever the bar has this situation even while it is being built.

Great, thank you for that. It was exactly what I was looking for. I have two additional questions: 1) With the formula you posted above, is it possible to trigger a pop-up alert instead of a sound alert? 2) Can I trigger an alert using any divergence detector? Let's say, some formula like =IDxx . SGx(Arrow up or down) = TRUE? Thanks a lot. |

1. Refer to the following for Alert Pop-Ups: General Settings Window: Add Alert to Compact Alert Popup Window (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Alerts >> Additional Settings) 2. We are not sure exactly what you are wanting to do here. If you give us some additional information on exactly what you want to accomplish we can see if we can answer it. In general, though, refer to the information for alerts and how to write them, on this page: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

1. Great, got it. 2. I was basically using a divergence detector study and wanted an alert to be triggered whenever a positive divergence(SG3) or negative divergence(SG4) was detected, in this case, SG3 or SG4 were true. But I was able to accomplish what I wanted using the Color bar based on alert condition study by just adding "= IDXX.SG3 or IDXX.SG4" to the alert condition box. Thank you.
