Context: I currently have a - Numbers Bars with 3 columns - The 1st column is a volume profile colored based on volume percentage I would like a - 2nd Numbers Bars with 3 columns to add some features - Eg: I would like to now colour the 1st column which is a volume profile just like from previous Numbers Bars but with actual volume - I specifically only wanted to highlight high volume price levels in the Numbers Bar relative to the session so I made all the other colors equal to my background except Range 3 color Problem: - Clearly, the colors start conflicting. I.e depending on the order of the studies, 1 will hide the other or mess up. - I have attached a picture to show what I mean by "conflicting" - So I tried a "Color Bar ... Based on Alert Condition" and tried VAP(C,0) > XXX. This doesn't work either Qn: - Is there any way to circumvent this? Thanks! |

There is not a way around what is occurring due to what you are doing. Although it is possible to have multiple Numbers Bars studies on a chart, they need to be very closely setup so that they do not overwrite each other. Refer to the following: Numbers Bars: Using Multiple Numbers Bars Studies on the Same Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hmm, are there alerts then that can highlights when volume at a price > XXX? And color it accordingly?

The "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2" does some of what you are asking for. Refer to the following: Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 Another option would be to create your own alerts and setup coloring or markers using the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study. Refer to the last three alert examples (41, 42, and 43) at the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Alert Formula Examples Also refer to the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions You can then use this with the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to produce a marker of some kind for what you want: Color Bar Based on Alert Condition For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

- As mentioned, I actually have tried the closet alert formula on a Color Bar Based on Alert Condition - All I did was VAP(C,0) > 1000 but it didn't fire - Am I correct to assume that it should color the entire bar/produce some marker? - In such a case, was my formula wrong? - Side question: Is there no way to color just that level with some indicator with the VAP formula? |
