How does one do a calculation using the special functions (vap,bvap and avap) , and then place the answer on a chart? I know that one can color backgrounds etc.,using the alert function, but I need the numerical answer on the chart.

This requires using ACSIL:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

The data can be accessed with this ACSIL structure member:

We will see about creating a study, which can support values other than 1 or 0 from an Alert Formula.

The more I work with these Special Functions, the more I realize how much more one could do, if one could use these formulas in a spreadsheet. Please consider adding them to the spreadsheet functions.

Any progress on "We will see about creating a study, which can support values other than 1 or 0 from an Alert Formula."

No progress yet. We do not know when this will be done.

We recommend using Spreadsheets or ACSIL for what you require. You certainly have the ability to accomplish now what you need.
