We worked on this and determined this is impossible to do reliably under all conditions:


I would like to extract the text from the "Zig Zag" study (HH, HL, LH, LL), from a Reversal Bars chart of "NQ", to a Reversal Bars chart of "ES" inside the same Chartbook.


Because we do not see how it is possible to have two different symbols completely synchronized with each other when using variable timeframe bars.

The closest that can be accomplished is attached as a Chartbook. We cannot offer anything better. What you are doing is inherently very complicated.

The attached Chartbook uses the symbol ESH16. You need to change the symbol of the charts as you require:

The attached file needs to be saved to the Data subfolder in your Sierra Chart installation folder.
