Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to use "Custom Output Value When True" to be the equivalent of h[-1]+ 1.00, which would allow me to place a star, dot, whatever, 1 point above the high of the previous bar. Is this possible to do using color bar based on alert condition? Thanks! |

Not with CBBOAC, but you can use Spreadsheet Formula study with =h[-1] as the formula to plot the high 1 bar ago. Use Study Subgraph Add on the Spreadsheet Formula study to add 1 to it.

Use the Spreadsheet Formula study with this formula in its Formula field: =H[-1]+1 |

Actually, this. didn't work. I'm able to get the value of the high of previous bar, but I'm unable to plot above it. Using a Displacement of -1, I'm able to get the value displayed on the prior bar, but using offset, I'm unable to get that value displayed X ticks above that bar. Regardless of onset, it displays on the high of the previous bar.

The attached pic uses this formula, =H[-1]+1, with a Displacement of -1 This plots a line 1 point above the previous High. Use this formula to reference ticks instead: =H[-1]+TICKSIZE*4 |

Circling back to say thanks, Sawtooth! This is working as desired.
