The best solution to this is to create a custom study, or pay to have one done. Refer to the following:

It can somewhat be done with the "Spreadsheet Formula" study, but the formula gets lengthy, and depending on the time frame of your chart, you may not be able to cover the entire bar with the formula. The idea is that the Alert syntax allows you to access the Total Volume, Bid Volume, and Ask Volume at a price level - therefore you would have to check each price level individually to see if it matches what you want. But this will only get you one result per bar. Here is an example of the formula you would enter if you want to highlight when the Bid is greater than 50 for the first 3 levels starting at the Low of the bar:
=IF(BVAP(L, 0) > 50, L, IF(BVAP(L + TICKSIZE, 0) > 50, L + TICKSIZE, IF(BVAP(L + 2 * TICKSIZE, 0) > 50, L + 2 * TICKSIZE, 0)))

You would then set the Subgraph Draw Style to an item that marks the level you want.
