I use a table at bottom of my range bar chart, this table is based on Number Bars Calculated Value Study. The last value or lowest row is the UD Tick Volume Difference, (SG50) I would like to create an alert notifying me, with sound our other, when the value exceeds a specified number of my choice. Can you a help me on this?

You just need to create a simple alert based on that subgraph. The alert formula you would enter is very straightforward, as it would be something like the following: =ID1.SG50 > 100 Or, if you want to test either positive or negative values, then you could do something like the following: =OR(ID1.SG50 > 100, ID1.SG50 < -100) Refer to the following for the general information on Alerts: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning Refer to the following for information on setting up the Alert Sounds: General Settings Window: Alerts (Global Settings >> General Settings) And finally, just in case you want to try your hand at other items in the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study, there can be special circumstances that you need to consider when creating an alert for some subgraphs.

THANK YOU, THAT SHOULD DO THE TRICK another question, can alerts be set based on MBO data, IF a certain +/- value hits the MBO can an alert be set for that? |

There is not a way to access the MBO information through an alert. The only way to do this would be to create a custom study.

what if I wanted to have 2 or 3 alerts for 3 different number bars calculated value study such as SG50 and SG8 and SG9, =OR(ID1.SG50 > 500, ID1.SG50 < -500) =OR(ID1.SG8 > 500, ID1.SG9 < -500) would the above be right or do I need to separate SG8 and SG9 into their own respective lines or do I need to incorporate AND() somehow, because I would like to know if SG8 and SG50 meet criteria or if SG50 and SG9 meet criteria,,,I would like the alert. But the .wav alert for SG50 would be "verbiage A" and the alert for SG8 / SG9 would be "verbiage B"...and if possible would have different verbiage for SG8 and SG9 since one yields negative values and the other yields positive values. |

You can not have multiple entries within an alert. So the way you show it above, will not work. If you were to put everything into a single alert (per what you show), it would look like the following: OR(ID1.SG50 > 500, ID1.SG50 < -500, ID1.SG8 > 500, ID1.SG9 < -500) But the above does not make sense for what you are wanting. If you want to know when SG50 and SG8 are both above 500 or if SG50 and SG9 are above 500, then you would do the following: OR(AND(ID1.SG50 > 500, ID1.SG8 > 500), AND(ID1.SG50 < -500, ID1.SG9 < -500)) But, this would give you the same alert sound for either of the situations. But then you go on to state that you want different verbiage for SG50, SG8, and SG9. To do this, you would need to create separate alert conditions on different studies. In general this is not a problem, but you may have to add a hidden study to get all 3 options setup. Keep in mind, there is an Alert option on the "Chart Settings", so that would be 1 place, the Numbers Bars Calculated Values would a second, and then a third unknown study (such as Volume) that you can hide (the alert will still work) could be a third. We are not exactly sure what you are wanting for these 3 conditions though. Use the information we gave you above to determine how to setup what you want.

the 3rd identity for the third alert, how would using a volume study work for wanting an alert that is based on a numbers bar calculated study, purely because ID# uses the data from that study I call out? In other words I could create an alert for study A using study C or G and as long as the ID# is referencing the intended study and its given SG# then it will alert via that called out ID#_SG# ?? |

Yes, you are thinking correctly. As long as you reference the studies and subgraphs using IDx.SGy, then the alert will have nothing to do with the actual study on which the alert is setup. The only time where an alert condition has a dependency on the actual study it is entered on, is if you do not specify the ID number and only specify the subgraph (such as "SG1" instead of "ID1.SG1"). In this case, the ID is assumed to be that of the study on which the alert is entered.

assuming the ID and SG to call out on Number Bars Calculated study are correct here is the attached image correct? where I am adding an alert to a different study to call out the voice alert I created from the Number Bars Calculated study?

if I want to get notified via a visual alert when SG35 on Number Bars Calculated Study is greater than X value which study would I use? the color bar based on conditions? and what would be my formula, simply: IDX.SG35>x.xx? |

The "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" is the correct study to have some kind of visual notification. Refer to the following and note the section for "Drawing Arrows/Text or Other Styles at the High or Low of Bars" if you are wanting something other than the bar to be colored: Drawing Arrows/Text or Other Styles at the High or Low of Bars The idea of your formula is correct. We just want to refer you to the following, if you were not already aware of it, in relation to creating alerts based on values from the "Numbers Bars Calculated Values" studies: Numbers Bars: Referencing Numbers Bars Calculated Values Subgraphs in Alert Formulas For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

yes, already using the percentage based color background of number bars calculated study for for SG1/8/9/50; now I need something alert me with SG35. |
