Hi I want some help in creating an audible alert when the relative volume standard deviation indicator condition becomes true. Currently I have a visual 'colour bar based on above/below study' but hoping to have it in sound too. I don't have much coding skills but tried using =ID5.SG1 type syntax without any output. Thanks in advance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-02-16 11:37:40

We are a bit confused. If you already have a "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study that is working, then to get a sound for when this is true, you would add the Alert Number to the Alert Tab for that study. Refer to the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Selecting a Sound for the Alert and Email Notifications For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I have enabled the alert option in both the studies window and general settings. Screenshot attached. I also tried different .wav files with no audible alert. Even the message log is not showing any alerts. Not sure what I'm missing here. Is that related to the nature of the indictor itself? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-02-19 08:29:53

You do not have an Alert Formula entered in the "Relative Volume Standard Deviation" study. Therefore, there is nothing to alert on. You had stated that you have a "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study that is coloring the bar when the condition you want is true. If this is correct, then you need to add the "Alert Number" to the Alert Tab for the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study.

Thanks for your input. It's still not working. Please note that I have a Color bar based on 'Above/Below study' rather than 'Alert Condition'. Screenshot attached. Since the 'study' doesn't have any alert formula, I guess we still have the original problem. Regards Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-02-20 09:31:40

Since you are using the "Color Bar Based on Above/Below Study", you are correct that there is not an existing formula that we can use. Keep in mind that the "Color Bar Based on Above/Below Study" is going to color every bar depending on whether the Input for "Input Data" is actually above or below the referenced study. Therefore, what we would need to understand is when do you want the alert to go off? Is it just for one of the situations (Above or Below) or something more specific?

I want the alert to go off when the volume is ABOVE only. The 3 inputs, with my preferred values, are attached in the screenshot. They are 1. length e.g 5 2. Std. Deviation. e.g 1 3. Moving average e.g EMA Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Does your "Color Bar Based on Above/Below Study" work properly? From what we see in your image, it is setup to reference itself, so there is not a way for it to actually work. Let's start at the beginning. You are using the "Relative Volume Standard Deviation" study to look at something. What exactly do you want to compare the results of the "Relative Volume Standard Deviation" against?

I want to identify 'high volume' bars. At each bar close, it will be compared against the EMA of the last 5 bars and if it's more than 1 standard deviation to the upside, I want an alert. Please note that the 'Relative Volume Standard deviation' indicator is an existing in-built indicator and NOT custom built but it serves my purpose very well. My only additional requirement is adding audio alert in addition to visual 'color bar' alert. Thanks |

For this, enter the following formula in the alerts tab of the "Relative Volume Standard Deviation" study: =SG1 > 1.0 Refer to the following regarding setting up alerts: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning And refer to the following for how to setup the alert sound: General Settings Window: Configuring Alert Number Instructions Note that if you put the alert on a different study, then you would need to reference the "Relative Volume Standard Deviation" study by changing the formula to the following: =ID1.SG1 > 1.0 Where ID1 is the ID of the "Relative Volume Standard Deviation" study.
