I am looking to use Sierra Chart to calculate and alert me to the following conditions:


1. Volume (using a given time period, e.g., on a 5 min chart) is the Greatest it has been in X number of time periods (example: "the Highest Volume in 250 time periods has just occurred")

2. Volume (using a given time period, e.g., on a 5 min chart) is Above a Specific Level (example: "a Volume greater than 15,000 has just occurred")


Doable?

1. The Relative Volume study can help with this:

2. This can be done just simply by using a Simple Alert Formula which refers to volume.

For alerts, refer to this page:
