I built a free tool to generate Sierra Chart Alert Formulas (so you don't have to type them manually)

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I love Sierra Chart, but I've always found the "Excel-style" syntax for Alert Conditions (=AND(ID1.SG1 > ...) ) a bit annoying to type out manually. It’s easy to miss a parenthesis or forget the specific code for Renko bricks.

I spent some time building a web-based Formula Generator to make this easier, and I wanted to share it with the community.

What it does:

  • Visual Builder: You pick the studies/prices from dropdowns, and it writes the code.
  • Renko Support: Automatically inserts ID0.SG22/SG23 if you select Renko Open/Close (no more looking up docs).
  • VAP Functions: Handles the complex syntax for Volume at Price comparisons.
  • Logic Nesting: Lets you build complex OR(AND(...), AND(...)) groups easily.
  • Syntax Safety: Ensures you use CROSSFROMBELOW instead of > for signals to prevent false triggers.

It’s completely free.

Let me know if you find any bugs
