I had a search on the support board but couldn't find a similar topic.

I wanted to set an alert if any instrument reached a certain percentage drop or gain from the previous days close/settlement price. This would alert me if price became within a range close to a market Price Limit before the pause the instrument.

Is there a function in Sierra Chart to set an alarm on a percentage of daily movement say 3%, 4% or 5% etc?

Use the "Percent Change Since Previous Close" study to get the amount of change and then setup an alert for that value. Refer to the following:
