Hello, I want to know how can I shade the background of a chart for a specific period of time. Let´s say I want to make a little bit darker or shade the color of the background of a chart from the openning till a specific time, let say from 9:30am to 11:00am E.T. What I want is that sierra chart automatically shade the color of the chart when bars are being formed at 9:30am and stop shading the background at 11:00am. And also if it is possible to add a sound for the beginning of that time and the end of that time. So that Sierra Chart makes a sound exactly at 9:30am at starts shading the background color and makes another sound at 11:00am and stop shading the background color. Thanks in advance. |

This can be done by using the Time Range Highlight study. For the time-based Sound Alerts refer to this page: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_AlertCondAndScan.html Also refer to example 6 at the bottom of the page.

To color the background, add the Color Background Based On Alert Condition study, and use this formula in the Alerts tab: AND(BARTIME>TIMEVALUE("09:30:00"),BARTIME<TIMEVALUE("10:59:59")) To get an audible alert at two times per day, put this formula in any other study's Alerts tab, or in the Simple Alert Condition field on the Advanced Settings tab in Chart >> Chart Settings: =OR(AND(BARTIME>TIMEVALUE("09:29:59"),BARTIME<TIMEVALUE("09:30:02")),AND(BARTIME>TIMEVALUE("10:59:59"),BARTIME<TIMEVALUE("11:00:02"))) |

There is a native study that does this: Time Range Highlight Then you could put the audible alert formula in its Alerts tab. Everything in one study. |

Yes, we meant Time Range Highlight and not Time Line. We corrected our posting.

Oh yeah thanks. When I was checking the time line study info, I realized there was exactly the indicator I was looking for with the Time range highlight - transparent study. That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much to all of you and thank you tomglib for the exact formula also for the audible alert. I´ll try it tomorrow when the market opens.

What about if I want to shade a specific section of time; say contract roll over week, or even a day of FOMC release. How can I highlight it on a daily or intraday chart? Thanks. |
