I have two charts side by side (10 second time frame on each chart)...Chart 1 is traditional candlestick chart in Region one, and Chart 2 has Numbers Bars study displayed within Region one with the bid X ask volumes at each price level as the main display. I use the Numbers Bars study on Chart 2 to highlight when there is non-zero bid and ask volume at the high (or low). I am having difficulty looking back and forth between the two charts and I would like to add the Numbers Bars study to Chart 1 so that I can see when there is a non-zero bid and ask volume at the high (or low) on the candlestick within Chart 1. But, when adding the Numbers Bars study to Chart 1, the underlying traditional candlesticks can no longer be seen. All I am really want is a single chart with traditional candlesticks and the ability to place on that chart a visual alert when there is a non-zero bid and ask volume at the high or low of the candlestick (alert could be background color or candle color or point on the high/low of the candlestick, etc.). I tried various tricks (spreadsheet alert, simple alert, study overlay from Chart 2 to Chart 1, "Draw Study Underneath Main Price Graph", etc.) but have been unsuccessful. How can I accomplish this? thanks... |

One possible solution is to use 'Color Bar Based on Alert Condition' (or similar), one copy for highs and another for lows. For example: Ask & Bid Volume at High: =AND(AVAP(H,0)<>0,BVAP(H,0)<>0) Ask & Bid Volume at Low: =AND(AVAP(L,0)<>0,BVAP(L,0)<>0) Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions Color Bar Based on Alert Condition |

Works good. I was able to use color background based on your formulas and then use spreadsheet formulas which reference the color background information to create arrows on my primary chart to show when there was a non-zero bid and ask at the high or low. Thanks...
