i have the Volume At Price Threshold Alert V2 on my Volume by Price Study. So I can get the alerts per bar either with Visible or Bid/Ask separately. I wanted to have it for RTH and night session. I noticed even though I have a Vol at Price either for the Day or Visible (and I just show from start of RTH) that I cant get the alerts. I read the description says "per bar", so I imagine that's why. So I switched to my daily bars, and it still doesn't work. For instance, I have the alert for 250 ASK, and indeed the alert (rt arrow) shows, but not accurately. Using 250 ASK, the arrow does show Asks per price level on a lot of them, but some other price levels where Ask >250 there's no alert. So its not working. Is this study not meant for 1 daily bar? And if it does, what is missing? Thx |

The Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 will not work on a Daily chart if that daily chart is using Daily Historical data, which is the default. You can make it work, by creating daily bars that are based on the Intraday data. To do this, you need to set the "Chart Data Type" to "Intraday Only Chart" and then set the Bar Period to be "1-0-0" for the Days-Minutes-Seconds. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Date Range and Limiting Method) Also, keep in mind that in order for the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 to work properly, you need to have 1 tick data. Refer to the following: Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Yes, my chart is set to Intraday, and 1-0-0 Yes, I have tick data. See attached pic, you'll see the grey Rt arrows. In this case, Ask is set to 1000 You'll see that the grey arrow aren't on Ask >1000, nor are the less or equal. No rhyme or reason I can tell. https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1769810538565.png Vol at Price settings are: (btw, these cant be screenshoted?) -Comparison method=ASK Vol -Vol Threshold=1 -Additional Vol Threshold=1000 Number of days to calculte=1 |
