I have set the Color Bar on Alert to draw when the ZigZag study changes slope.
FYI =OR(AND(ID11.SG9[-1] < 0, ID11.SG9 > 0), AND(ID11.SG9[-1] > 0, ID11.SG9 < 0))
ID 11 is the Zig Zag Study
The above code is on both the Color Bar and Zig Zag studies.
The color bar is displaying the bar as expected
But there are odd probes:
1. Color bar Alert Sound is a Ringing Bell that is NOT in my Sierra Alert Sounds File and Changing the Alert Sound has NO affect!!
2. The Ziz Zag line does not change it's s;ope at the same time as the Color Bar!
Help please

1. Color bar Alert Sound is a Ringing Bell that is NOT in my Sierra Alert Sounds File and Changing the Alert Sound has NO affect!!

Then this must be coming from some other place. Perhaps the Zig Zag study? Check your "Window >> Alert Manager" to see what it shows when you are getting that sound.

2. The Ziz Zag line does not change it's s;ope at the same time as the Color Bar!

We need more information on what you are meaning by this. Is it the Alerts that are different times, or something else?

1. Alert Manager shows only ZigZag sound Color Bar
The same Bells sound are played regardless of me changing the alts sons number to any other alert sound number. This is the problem

2. When the Color Bar alerts it takes many bars o all three charts for the ZigZag lime SG1 to change slope. This see,s odd since both alerts are using the same code alerting on changes to Zig OscillatorSG9.
This seems to indicate that the ZigZag line is delayed and not reacting quickly to the oscillator. Why?

Thanks

1. We do not know. If the sound you are hearing is not part of any of your Alert Sounds, then it is not coming from Sierra Chart.

If you think it is a Sierra Chart item, then you need to track down where it is coming from. Make sure you check the Symbol Alerts and Chart Drawing Alerts as well as the standard Simple Alerts.

2. Refer to the following:
Zig Zag: Zig Zag Reverses at Wrong Bar

And also look through the information for the calculation above the link we gave. What you are seeing is normal.
