The VAP, BVAP and AVAP main price graph identifiers return a syntax when using this syntax: VAP[H - (TICKSIZE * 1)][0] The intention being to access bid, ask and total volume at other price levels within the bar relative to the high and low (nice implementation, BTW, thank you). Please see that attached graphic. regards, shane |

We have not yet gotten to solving this yet. If we indicated this previously, then that was a mistake with what we said.

It was not mentioned one way or the other; and it was in a thread that had spun off onto many tangents. That thread is now locked (wise move) hence this new one where we can track progress of this request. regards, shane |

OK, understood. Although the formulas you are using are documented, the implementation is not yet complete. It was more involved than expected.

It is 10 months since the last post on this thread - have you now 'gotten to solve' this yet? Regards, Trev |

Alert Formula Error - Chart: XAUUSD 5 Min #32 | Error: #SYNTAX! | Formula: =VAP[H - (TICKSIZE * 1)][0]>1 | No alert sound/email We can see that this is still giving a syntax error although support was added for this. We need to look into this again. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

Thank you for the response. What time scale do you have for a resolution? |

We see support was added for these types of formulas back in February 2015. The problem is though that the format of them changed to normal function calls. the most reasonable way to handle this is to turn VAP, BVAP, and AVAP into specialized spreadsheet formula functions. This will change the syntax to =AVAP(H - (TICKSIZE * 1), 0).
So in the particular example given the syntax is: =AVAP(H - (TICKSIZE * 1), 0) We apologize for this. We had not updated the documentation.

Many thanks for the reply. I am having problems with this. I have reduced the formula to it's basics: =AVAP(H, 0) >= 8 I am using this in a Colour bar based on alert study, but I am finding that bars with ask vol of 8 or more does not always produce an alert. What am I doing wrong? Appreciate your help with this. Best regards, Trevor |

Your formula definitely will not always give you alert in this case because it is not looking for what you are describing: I am using this in a Colour bar based on alert study, but I am finding that bars with ask vol of 8 or more does not always produce an alert. The formula is going to give you an alert if at the High price level of the bar the Ask Volume is greater than or equal to 8. Here is an example of the formula, =AVAP(H, 0) >= 20, using the Color Background Based on Alert Condition: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1442597127463.png Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Hi, Agreed, I want an alert on every bar with a high that has 8 or more ask volume and I am using: =AVAP(H, 0) >= 8. I am painting a pink 'down triangle' on each bar that meets this criteria. On the screen shot attached not all bars are been triggered and some are triggering with less than 8. Please see second bar from left Ask Vol is only 3 and bar on extreme right has Ask Vol of 14 but nor triangle down. Many thanks. |

What is the price level where you see 0 | 3? What is the High of that bar using the Chart Values tool: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Tools.html#ChartValues Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
