You can not get the value you want in the way you are doing it. But since you are wanting this on a "Per Bar" basis, it is not too hard to do. Do the following: - Add the "Volume Point of Control for Bars" study. This will give you the actual price of the Point of Control for each bar. You can remove the Volume by Price study, unless you want this for something else. - Add the "Spreadsheet Formula" study to the chart and enter the following formula for this study: =VAP(ID1.SG1) Where ID1 is the ID of the "Volume Point of Control for Bars" study. This study now gives you the Volume at that Point of Control for each bar. - Enter the following formula on the Alerts tab for the "Spreadsheet Formula": =SG1 > 300 If you enter the alert on a different study, or on the Chart Settings, then you would need to also reference the ID for the Spreadsheet Formula in the Alert formula. Refer to the following: Volume Point of Control for Bars Spreadsheet Formula Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: VAP Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing Other Studies on the Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

After setting it up this way, there are no alarm notifications. Did I set it up incorrectly?"

Use this formula in the Formula field of the Spreadsheet Formula study: =VAP(ID1.SG1,0) Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: VAP Suggestion: To see a visual where the alert is TRUE, add the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, with a formula like this on its Alerts tab: =ID2.SG1 > 300 where ID2 is the Spreadsheet Formula study.
