I got the following error message:

Alert Formula Error - Chart: F.US.DDZ14 15 Min #3 | Study: EMA200 | Error: #SYNTAX! | Formula: =AND(SG1 <= H, SG1 >= L)

Intention ==>> an alert if touched

What is the problem? I am using version 1205

How do you have Global Settings >> Spreadsheet Settings >>Decimal and Function Delimiter set?

I changed the Spreadsheet settings in "Use full stop..." and I do not get an alert formula error message.



How should this formula (AND(SG1 <= H, SG1 >= L)) be amended to add the condition "+/- 3 pips".

In our testing that we did later on, the Decimal and Function Delimiter setting did not have an effect upon Simple Alerts.

Do you know if you are running Sierra Chart with New Spreadsheets or Old Spreadsheets? In any case we recommend updating to the current version. We know you are no longer having the problem, but we just want to have a better understanding of why this even happened to begin with.

Formula writing help is not within the scope of our support.

However, you may be interested in using the TICKSIZE variable within your formula.

If you are not using Spreadsheets within Sierra Chart, then we recommend installing the version with New Spreadsheets.

You can update with Help >> Download Current Version (New Spreadsheets).
