I remember building a simple rate-of-change system that displayed text based on an alert condition, rather than coloring a bar / background.
It may have been when I was using spreadsheets.

Is there a study which allows me to display text on screen based on an alert condition?
Do I have to use spreadsheets again?

Thanks, you guys are awesome!

This is supported . We are going to prepare documentation for how to do this and also an example. There is no need to use the Spreadsheet study for this.

and may great success come to you.
Thank you. We are making progress. From the perspective that we want to provide the functionality that users require, have it be reliable and easy to use, and low cost. It is not about our success, but the success for everyone.

Of course when it comes to support for external services we have to be very careful about what we do because that can be troublesome for all involved and create an unnecessary burden on us.

Sorry for the delay. We still have to update the documentation for this, but attached to this post is a Study Collection that shows you how to put together a collection of studies to display text when a condition becomes true.

In this particular collection, we are using the ADX study and checking if the most recent value is greater than 28. If so, then the text "ADX is True" is displayed.

Follow the instructions here for how to use this Study Collection:
