Not sure we understand this. But it sounds like from what we understand you definitively cannot do that. You will have to create your own custom study.

Always best to create your own custom study when you cannot accomplish what you want with Sierra Chart built-in functionality.

how can I display only this point?
Add another Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study
- Set 'Number of Bars to Calculate' to 10
- Use this formula on the Alerts tab:
=ID2.SG1[9]
- Hide your ID2 study.

thank u for this :) it worked!!
...
just for understanding:
if i am using your solution
i can need to use only (no need id2,id3)
id1 : Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study
- Set 'Number of Bars to Calculate' to 10
- Use this formula on the Alerts tab: =c[9]
and it worked as well.

***
i am using lots of color bar based on alert condition study,
and i prefer no to use the "trick" by change "number of bars to calculate"
.

i want to use only formulas and simplify it (if it can):
1: do u have another solution only with formulas ( in the alert tab) to get what i need?

*** there is way to use only 1 study1 study: Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study,
by using the Alerts tab
and get:
2.the first 10 points (as i display in pic "id2", (but not as i success by 2 studies).i want to
simplify my future solutions
)
3. only the first point of the 10 points (as my origin question)

***
i bothersome u with those questions because in logic i cant understand why there is not a simple way by formulas.
how can be simple formula as "=c[10]" which display me all the points beside the first 10 points,
but there is not a formula to get the first 10 points,
there is not a formula to get only one point in the position number 10 (as i need),
there is not a formula to get two points in other position(in position number 10 and number 9)

***

many thanks

there is not a formula to get the first 10 points,
=C[10]=0 did work in the past, but SC changed something, so now you must use a second instance. See this:
Hide currently forming candle

there is not a formula to get only one point in the position number 10 (as i need),
You found a way by using:
- Set 'Number of Bars to Calculate' to 10
- Use this formula on the Alerts tab: =c[9]

there is not a formula to get two points in other position(in position number 10 and number 9)
Use my original solution in post #3 with this formula:
=ID2.SG1[8]

These are no other simpler ways to do what you want.
