Good Morning, I have a squeeze indicator 2 study with Sierra native settings in a 2048 Volume ES chart. Id22.SG1 is its histogram and ID22.SG2 is for the dots. As I require a sound alert when the dots turn from red to green I placed the following formula in the alert window and enabled it however I am not getting any sound. In previous instances where I had sound alerts configured for simple crossovers in the same chart if the formula is correct it normally works. =OR(CROSSFROMBELOW(ID22.SG1, 0), CROSSFROMABOVE(ID22.SG1, 0)) The reason I used ID22.SG1 (the histogram) instead of the dots ID22.SG2 signal itself is because I see no differentiator in my spreadsheet study dots column. I find only zeros there. The spreadsheet overlay which runs the Boolean logic for all my other studies has no relevance to this alert which goes directly to the study configure menu, my point is I don't know how to write a condition based on zeros alone to trigger when a red to green switch occurs. Would you be able to advise how I could devise an alert to trigger when the dots turn from red to green? If you have a working formula I could just paste it in the alerts window and have it work. Best, Jay |

What study are you using for this. The "Bollinger Squeeze 2" is the only study with the terms "squeeze 2" in it, and this does not have a subgraph with an ID of 22.

Good Afternoon John, It is found in the Sierra charts custom studies list as squeeze indicator2. When I load it afresh to the chart it gives a study ID of 46 however as it is right now the system has assigned ID22 to it. I believe this is the John carter type Squeeze indicator similar to the Bollinger squeeze you mentioned. The difference is when the Bollinger bands move outside of the Keltner band it gives a green dot. Thanks, Jay |

If this is a custom study that you have created yourself, or received from a third party, then there is nothing we can do to help with it. We do not know anything about it, therefore we can not answer your questions. We are not finding a "Squeeze" indicator in the "User Contributed Studies". Although we typically do not give help with User Contributed Studies, we are willing to take a quick look and see if we can answer your question. But we would need the exact name of the study if it is from that section. Sorry about the ID, we were thinking Subgraph, not Study ID. The subgraph is #1, so our statement was incorrect. Although it does not matter, as it was not the Bollinger Squeeze 2 anyway.

Hi John, Please go to add custom study then expand Sierra charts custom studies and examples (SierraChartStudies_64_dllv2784) and type sq. You will be taken to Squeeze Indicator 2 . I did not create the indicator or receive it from a third party also note it is not listed under user contributed studies. It is listed under "Sierra charts custom studies" So I presume it is an indicator created by Sierra charts. Thanks, Jay |

For that particular study, by chance, the subgraph named "Signal Values" matches with the "Squeeze Dots", such that when the Squeeze Dots are colored green, the Signal Value has a value of 1, and when the Squeeze Dots are red, the Signal Values value is 0. So you can get an alert when it changes state between bars by using the following formula in an alert: =ID1.SG7 != ID1.SG7[-1] Where ID1 is the ID of the "Squeeze Indicator 2" study and SG7 is the "Signal Values" subgraph.
