Hello Sierra Chart,
When using the "Period OHLC" study, is it possible to display only a single arrow for the Open and Close, and not a line from beginning to end? Also, for the Open, I would like to display an arrow at the beginning of the period, and for the Close, I would like to display an arrow at the end of the period (not at the beginning like the Open).

Thank you

You would have to use the Spreadsheet Study or the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition to only have a value at the particular times where you want them to be displayed, otherwise you would want the data to be 0.

Refer to the following for the Spreadsheet Study:

And refer to the following for the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition:

Hi John,
With the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition, can you provide a sample Alert code? I have read Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Alert Formula Examples without much success finding an example that relates to the above?

Thank you

You would need to setup an alert that looks like the following:
=IF(BARTIME = TIME(08, 30, 00), O, 0)

Note that the O is for Open (not a zero) and the second item is a Zero.

So this is saying, if the opening time of the bar is 08:30:00, then the value is the Open, else the value is 0.

Than you John.

Where can I find a list of all the different variables for creation Alerts? For example, V = Volume, O = Open, etc?

Thank you
