Hi,

I have set up an alert and the price for which an alert first comes true is important for my purposes.

Is there a way of automatically marking on the chart the first price in which an alert becomes true? Colour by alert condition will alert me to the presence within a bar but not the price at which the alert first occurred.

Thanks you for your advice,

No, you can only use this study to color the entire bar:

I think Ben can use a combination of "Dash" in Draw Style and "Alert Only Once" checked. This should draw a hyphen on the body of the bar when the first alert condition is triggered. You might have to use "Reset Alert Condition on new bar" as well. (disclaimer: I could be wrong so please try it out)
