Hi, is it possible to color the candles of Heiken Ashi indicator based on conditions from alerts, formula, or ascil, when Heiken Ashi is NOT set as main price? I can do it when the indicator is main price, but I don't know if it is possible when it is not main price. |

Yes by using this study: Color Bar Based on Alert Condition And setting that study to display in the same Chart Region. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Hi, sorry to bump but i seem to be running into the same issue. Can't color the HA properly when they are not set as the main price, even if both studies are set to the same chart region. I have the Graph Draw Type set to Blank and the Color Bar study Based On the HA and it just draws OHLC bars based on the main graph. I added a photo for reference.

We are not seeing any issue with doing this. What do you mean by the "Graph Draw Type set to Blank"? There is no "Blank" option. This needs to be set to "Color Bar" for the "Color Bar" subgraph.

I was referring to the Graph Draw Type under Bar Period in Chart Settings, since the HA just gets drawn on top of the Main Graph bars and the originals remain visible when the study is added and not set as the Main Price Graph itself on Chart Region 1. Sorry if it was a bit confusing, wasn't sure if it was relevant. The Draw Style for the Color Bar study is set to "Color Bar" in the subgraph. This seems to only be happening on Region 1, if i move them down it works fine there. Making it the Main Price Graph fixes it but then it breaks again when i add a VbP study, the bars start drawing from the POC line and changing the Scale settings to Same as Region or any of the others don't seem to be doing anything, neither on the Color Bar or the VbP study |

It is relevant, as you have found, the issue is all about the fact that you have an existing bar style setup for your chart and therefore the "Color Bar" is trying to color that particular bar type. Also, as you found, setting the "Heikin-Ashi" study to be the "Main Price Graph" resolves the color bar issue. But you state that you then have an issue with the Volume by Price study. We are not seeing any issue in this case. What exactly are you seeing with the Volume by Price when it is based on the Heikin-Ashi as the Main Price Graph? Although you will get a slightly different Volume by Price profile based on the Heikin-Ashi bars as opposed to the actual underlying data. So you may be best off to have two charts for this.
