Post From: Enabling alerts makes the chart disappear

The problem is that you are just getting the True/False information for the alert. As such, you are actually seeing 1's and 0's (1=true, 0=false). In general, zeros are hidden in Sierra Chart, so that you do not get the effect of shrinking the price graph. But ones are not. Therefore, your ones are shrinking the graph.

What you could do would be to have the Last Price value returned when the alert is true. So something like =IF(Alert, ID0.SG4, 0). Where Alert is your Alert condition and ID0.SG4 is the last price.
