Hello Looking for feedback about the best way to implement below. I am not a developer/coder. 1. Price Level Timer: - Start 5-min countdown when price crosses level (ex: 30 min opening range) - Send alert at timer expiration with custom message 2. Trade Duration Timer: - Track time since trade opened - Alert at specified duration Implementation options: - ACSIL: Can be done? - Alert Manager: Is this possible by Sierra GUI only? - Maybe Web-Based/Mobile Chat Application? Ideally, also both are displayed on the chart with useful information such as the condition result Also, add SMS message Thank you |

These are definitely easier to do in a Custom Study, as there is not a perfect way to implement #1. The closest you could get with #1 would be within the bar period of the chart. For instance, if you are using a 1 minute chart, then you would be within 1 minute of the timing, 5 minutes would be within 5 minutes, and 10 seconds would be within 10 seconds. This is because what you would do is use the Spreadsheet Study and have a cell that checks for the crossover you are looking for. You can then look at the opening time of that bar and then check the time against that opening and see if the amount of time has passed, then give another signal when it has which can then be used in an alert. #2 can be done using the Spreadsheet System for Trading, as it contains the information for when the last trade was opened. So you can test against that to create your alert. Refer to the following for the spreadsheet studies: Working with Spreadsheets And refer to the following regarding setting up the Alert sounds/notifications: General Settings Window: Configuring Alert Number Instructions Refer to the following for the general ACSIL documentation and a list of programmers you may want to contact: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL) https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartStudyAndSystemProgrammers.php For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-01-27 20:59:33
