Using a "Number of Trades" bar period of 500. Donchian Channel period: 20 The alerts are performed using two "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" studies. ID1.SG1 = Swing High/Low Study (swing high) ID1.SG2 = "" "" (swing low) ID2.SG3 = Donchian Channel Study midline ID1.SG2>ID2.SG3 alert for a Swing Low above the midline of Donchian Channel - works perfectly. ID1.SG1<ID2.SG3 alert for a Swing High below the midline of Donchian Channel - does not work. I also tried reversing the formula, i.e, ID2.SG3>ID1.SG1 to no avail. In the chart image provided, the RED & GREEN ARROWS are the stock Swing High/Low Study arrows. The BLUE UP TRIANGLE is a positive alert for ID1.SG2>ID2.SG3, where the Swing Low is above the midline of the Donchian Channel. Notice that there is NO BLUE UP TRIANGLE under any Swing Lows BELOW the midling of Donchian Channel, nor are there any BLUE UP TRIANGLES under any other bar. The PINK DOWN TRIANGLE is a positive alert for ID1.SG1<ID2.SG3. Notice that the alert is being triggered for EVERY bar, EXCEPT the Swing Highs above the midline of the Donchian Channel. The inverse alert formulae should both perform exactly the same, respectively. Please advise.
