Post From: Alert condition using Daily OHLC current day low (SG3[0]) does not trigger

I am using an alert formula to detect when the low of the current candle is within a certain distance above a critical level. The logic works correctly with studies such as VWAP, VPOC, etc., but fails completely when using the Daily OHLC study current day low (SG3[0]). My alert condition is: AND( abs(L[0]-ID15.SG3[0]) < ID60.SG4[-1]*ticksize, L[0] >= ID15.SG3[0] ) Where: ID15 = Daily OHLC study SG3 = Low ID60.SG4[-1]*ticksize = proximity threshold My intention is to detect when the current bar low is within a defined distance above the current day's developing low. Observed behavior: The condition works correctly if I replace ID15.SG3[0] with: VWAP VPOC and other constant or intraday-updating reference levels However, using ID15.SG3[0] (current day low), the alert triggers sometimes, sometimes not, even when the candle low is clearly within the threshold. Visually, SG3[0] displays correctly on the chart and matches the current session low. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-02-20 15:13:14
