Hello,

Included .cs file and text file. Please let me know if i can provide anything else.


Thank you.

Sierra chart has BetterVolume in its custom study folder and it does ever thing i need. However it is not painting the bar, only the volume bar are painted.

Something like this...

Duplicate the study, set it to region 1.
Change scale setting to same as region.
Set the two options highlighted to yes.
Set the bottom Value Chart subgraph to hidden if you don't want the dots.

Hello, @ninjus
How can I get BetterVolume study values in an alert?

Please refer the attached pic for better explanation: Thank you.

In here the arrows are based on
High of bar above 2nd standard devation of VWAP &
Low below 2nd Standard deviation of VWAP.

The bottom panel has BetterVolume Study.

I want to filter the above alert where i want to include only
when the bar color changes to Yellow (basically a High Volue Churn Bar in the Study)
As this does not have a value but rather a color - How can i incorporate that in the alert formula?

It has the value of 1 when it i yellow which signifies it being on. So Churnbar subgraph > 0 should do it.

edit: I see that's not the case. Let me take a closer look.

Use the High Churn Volume Flag (SG10)
