Hello Sierra Team & Community - Can anyone recommend an existing study that can be used to highlight multiple consecutive low volume nodes which cross the same price level? see attached screenshot for example, I would like draw a line when 4 low volume nodes (represented by low % volume profile for each 5 min rotation) cross a level.

There is not a built-in tool that can do this. Be aware of the following Alert options that can give you the Total Volume, Bid Volume, and Ask Volume at a price level for each bar: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions Since the "Spreadsheet Formula" study uses the Alert syntax (despite its name), you can capture values through that study. For instance, the following would give you the Bid Volume at a price of 5000.00 for each bar: =BVAP(5000.00, 0) The Offset in that function is to move between bars, so you could compare the price at a level with other bars, such as the following to give a True value (1) when the Bid Volume at the curent bar is less than 10 and the Bid Volume at the next bar is less than 10: =AND(BVAP(5000.00, 0) < 10, BVAP(5000.00, 1) < 10) There is also the ability to use the shortcut names for the bars to get a relative price. Refer to the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Available Main Price Graph Identifiers/Variables So you could use something like the following to test the high of one bar against the same price at the next bar: =AND(BVAP(H, 0) < 10, BVAP(H, 1) < 10) But, this can get out of hand to test against a lot of bars. Therefore, we recommend creating a custom study for what you want.
