When using the 'Price triggered by total threshold' in the Volume At Price Threshold Alert study I want to colour the alert with the 'dominant' sides value....so when the bid side at the alert price is higher I want the alert colour to be Green and when the Ask is higher I want the alert to be red for example..... So which setting is that? Based on Slope Based on +/- Same as Base graph (Note: I DO NOT want the alert to be coloured depending on if the candle is up or down) (This is not explained on the study descrition page) Thx

The only way to do this would be to modify the code for this study. The code is located in the file named "Studies8.cpp" under the "ACS_Source" folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder. Refer to the following: How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

All of the documentation for that study is here: Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Sorry - that documentation is here: Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Auto Coloring But those options do not have a way that makes any sense in relation to the "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2". For instance, you can change the "Auto-Coloring" for "Trigger 1" to be "Based on Slope" and if the change from one bar to the next is sloping up, you will get the primary color and if the slope is downwards, you will get the secondary color. But this is not really relevant to anything. And there are no options for coloring based on the Bid/Ask dominance.

Thx But it was in relation to " Volume at Price Threshold Alert" (V1) not V2... Does the same apply?? It makes no sense in relation to Bid/Ask dominance for 'Price triggered by total threshold'

Yes, the same applies. You can set the "Auto-Coloring" options, but there is not one that gives you the ability to color based on dominance. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
