Questions on Studies

Hi,

I would appreciate help on the flwg;

1. From a spreadsheet cell,

a) Is there a way to display Text or concatenated values at the high or low of a bar? I've tried the spreadsheet Draw Styles as well as the 'Text for Studies' and 'Color Bar On Alert Condition' studies without success.

b) And secondly, how to display values or text related to bars, in a horizontal line at the top or bottom of the chart window?

2. In the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition Study, how to offset the 'Value On High/Low' draw styles higher or lower so as not to obscure other studies?

3. Is there a study or method (not spreadsheet) to display the numeric value of a Chart Alert formula, for example, (H-L) or (L[-1]-L) on the bar?

Thanks

1. a) There really is not a way to do this using the existing studies. You would need to create a study that took those values and then displayed them as drawings above or below the bar. Refer to the following:
Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study

1. b) You could use multiple instances of the Text Display for Study. Refer to the following:
Text Display For Study

2. You just need to use the Offset inputs for the study. Refer to the documentation starting here and the following Input:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition: Draw Style Percentage/Ticks Offset

3. There is no way to display the value directly from the Chart Alert itself. But you can use the Spreadsheet Formula study to display the same information. Just copy and paste the Alert formula into the Spreadsheet Formula input. Refer to the documentation here:
Spreadsheet Formula
