I would like to display TEXT on the chart. Specifically a Prefix + "UP" or "DOWN". The condition of the text could be the result of a "true" from an alert of another study.

The ideal situation would be for the resulting text to appear in a Stationary Text box where font and size can be easily adjusted.

Can this be done?

You can use this Draw Style with the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study:

Thanks for the reply BUT I don't see how this solves my issue.


My desire is to have a series of conditions to designate if the Trend is UP or Down and reflect that fact in writing on the chart. See image. Consider it a mock-up for what I'm trying to get to.

Thanks again for the help.

You need to custom program this using ACSIL:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AdvancedCustomStudyInterfaceAndLanguage.php

And then you need to use the text drawing tool:

Understand that we do not provide programming help. So we cannot help you with how to do this.

In regards to our prior response here is the documentation for Color Bar Based on Alert Condition:

Okay, thanks. There is so many studies that I wanted to make sure it would require programming before I decided to go down that route.

There might be a way using Text Display for Study in combination with Color Bar Based on Alert Condition. We just want to think about this a little.

In the next version of Sierra Chart these new inputs will be available with the Text Display for Study study which will accomplish what you need:
UseTextForNonZeroValue
NonZeroValueText

This is working well, thank you.

Would it be possible for you to make these two settings available to the "Text Display for Study From Chart" also please ?

That makes a really easy way to display text on chart B (eg shorter term) using eg trend detection on chart A (longer term).

Thanks in advance
