creating an alert
I would like to either create a stand alone alert or modify an "indicator" to display an alert. Specifically, is it possible to modify a line chart of the NYSE Tick ($TICK), to overlay a "spike" or some other display when the DJI Tick ($TICKI) hits a value of +24 and higher, or -24 and lower?

Create a $TICK chart and then run the attached efs. It should place a magenta diamond on the high of a bar when the $TICKI is +22 or higher and a blue diamond on the low of the bar when it is -22 or lower.
You can modify these values in Lines 37 and 43 respectively

thanks for the help!
BTW, how can I change the shape, size and color of the "diamonds"?Comment

If you make the bars 'thicker' the diamonds will get bigger.
If you then make the bars thinner, the diamonds will stay large.
No size control in the initial parameters.Comment

The size of the shapes (diamonds in this case) can be increased by increasing the spacing of the bars. If the bar spacing is then decreased the shapes will maintain the larger size.
The shapes used, their colors and location on the chart are controlled in Lines 66 and 73 of the formula.
I would strongly suggest that you download the EFS Help files created by Chris Kryza (available in his group at FileShare) where all the parameters for shapes are clearly explained. Link is provided below
