Post From: Help With Candlestick Wick Alert Syntax

Was hoping someone could help me out with this.

What I'm trying to to do: Create an audio alert for when there is a candle wick that is 3 ticks or more.

I describe these wicks the following ways:

Up Wicks

Close > Open and High > Close + 3 Ticks
Close < Open and High > Open + 3 Ticks


Down wicks


Close < Open and Low < Close - 3 Ticks
Close > Open and Low < Open - 3 Ticks

I've tried the following syntax for the up wicks (which doesn't work):

=OR(AND (C > O, H > (C + 2*TICKSIZE)), AND (C < O, H > (O + 2*TICKSIZE))

If someone who is more knowledgeable could help me get this straightened out, I'd really appreciate it.
