Refer to the last two examples for alerts at the following link:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Alert Formula Examples

But to do this and check an entire bar creates a very long alert condition, and you may not be able to cover the entire bar (there is a limit to the number of characters that can be used in an alert condition - although we can not remember the value off hand).

In the end, it is easiest to do this using a Custom Study. Refer to the following:
