I wonder if anyone (using Sierra Charts, of course) has ever seen, worked on or developed an Alert based on "comparing" the Accumulated Total Volume of a "currently completed" Up/Down Zig Zag "leg"/wave to the previously completed, corresponding Up/Down leg/wave(i.e., by definition, two "legs"/waves before/back). By "corresponding" , therefore,I mean comparing the most recently completed UP wave/leg to the immediately preceding completed UP wave/leg and also any most recently completed DOWN wave to the immediately preceding completed DOWN wave (i.e., again, by definition, two "legs"/waves before/back). By "compare" I would mean some conditional formula which would "ask" if the Accum. Tot.Volume of the most recently completed UP/Down wave was less than, or greater than the previous UP/Down wave by some User chosen variable factor/percentage or fractional multiplier and then create some kind of Alert like "Color Bar/Background", Arrow, Star, Dot, etc., etc. ??? I was thinking it might be real simple to simply use "Color Bar/Background" Study with an Alert Formula based upon Spreadsheet ID's and SG's but I'm not "fluent" enough in Excel/SC language to figure it out.

You would need to use the Spreadsheet System/Alert study, with modified formulas based on this example: Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Return Last Two Zig Zag Reversal Values
