The first thing to look at is the following functions to access the Total Volume, Bid Volume, and Ask Volume at each price level for a bar: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions These can be used with the Main Price Graph Identifiers: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Available Main Price Graph Identifiers/Variables So you can setup an alert that checks to see if the Bid at High is 0 by entering the following: =BVAP(H, 0) = 0 To use multiple conditions, you need to use the AND() and/or OR() functions: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: OR and AND Functions So to check both the Bid at the High and the Ask at the Low, your formula would be the following: = AND(BVAP(H, 0) = 0, AVAP(H, 0) = 0) To check a value at a location within a bar, you need to add the offset amount to the High or Low. The best way to do this is to use the TICKSIZE variable. For instance, to check if a value at two prices below the high is greater than 100, your formula would be the following: =BVAP(H - TICKSIZE * 2, 0) > 100 We leave the rest for you to work out to get exactly what you need.
