Hi Support,

I am trying to understand "Referencing Other Studies on the Chart" part of Sierra.
I want to create a simple Alert on the chart where MACD is below zero and RSI goes above 90 to sound only once when both conditions are true.

RSI ID:4 SG1 is above 90 and MACD Diff ID:7(SG3) is below 0

So would I then put this Alert on the RSI subgraph and is the formula I made below correct?

= AND (ID4.SG1 > 90, ID7.SG3 < 0)

Alert on the chart where MACD is below zero and RSI goes above 90 to sound only once when both conditions are true, my formula below is not working.

RSI ID:4 SG1 is above 90 and MACD Diff ID:7(SG3) is below 0

= AND (ID4.SG1 > 90, ID7.SG3 < 0)

Any suggestion on how to fix it?
Thank you!

The formula looks correct, make sure the rest of the Alert settings are the way you want them, including the Alert sounds. Refer to the following:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Alert Options

And the following:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GeneralSettings.html#AlertSoundSettings

And make sure you are checking your Alert Log for information on what may be happening. Refer to the following:

I checked alerts, they are all set to Alert only once per bar.

The issue with this formula is that Alert goes off when RSI hits 90 irrespective of whether MACD is below zero or above zero, seems to ignore MACD, just considers what RSI is doing.

This formula below, I applied to the RSI subgraph. May be I should be applying it to the MACD subgraph? Any other suggestions? Thank you!

RSI ID:4 SG1 is above 90 and MACD Diff ID:7(SG3) is below 0

= AND (ID4.SG1 > 90, ID7.SG3 < 0)

It doesn't matter on which study you place the alert. When we run this, it works fine. The only thing we can recommend to check is that you have the correct study IDs and Subgraph numbers.

aha, IDs and Subgraph numbers do not match each other on mine. Just fixed it so they are in sync and it appears to be working.
Thank you!
