Hello SC Team,
I would like to create a Text on the screen warning me if the chart happens to be delayed data.
I'm wondering if the fact that it is delayed data is referenced in a study that I can access or through spreadsheets, and then I can use the Display Text or an Alert to highlight that fact to me?

Thank you in advance,
Mike

There are no studies that do this. But you can do the following in order to create an Alert when the data is delayed by more than a certain amount. There is not a built-in way to have some kind of text appear on the screen. You could use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to display something that work for you.

To create an alert for when the delay is more than a specific number of seconds, do the following:
- Add the "Time and Sales Time" study to the chart.
- Use the following formula to test if the delay is within a certain number of seconds (10 is used in the following):
=IF(ABS((NOW() - TODAY() - ID1.SG1) * 24 * 60 * 60) > 10, 1, 0)

Where ID1 is the ID of the Time and Sales Time study.

Excellent - I will use the Time and Sales Time method. Also, the SawToothTrade site is an excellent resource for going deeper with spreadsheets. I wonder if there is a single list somewhere of all the resources like this?
Thank you for your response.

There is not a single list of sites that have information for Sierra Chart, at least, not that we know of - and it is not something we would keep up, as it would keep changing.

There is our "Custom Studies Store" that has a list of studies that people have made available for Sierra Chart (either free or to purchase). You will find this at the following link:
