plotting an arrow up or down based on angle study on two assets

I'm attaching a chart that I have been trying to get to plot an up arrow when using ID 24 and ID 25 "color based on Alert Condition" using the angle study when both assets have a greater than 45 degree angle, or -45 degree angle. ID 21 and ID 22 are the assets that are plotting correctly, however can't get an audio alert or a visual alert when both conditions are true. The logic i'm using is: =OR(AND(ID26.SG1 > 45, ID27.SG1 > 45), AND(ID26.SG1 < -45, ID27.SG1 < -45))

The image you supplied shows the current angle as being -8.379 and 0.179. They do not show that they were anywhere near 45 degrees, therefore the bars would not be colored.

Do you have a part of the chart where the angles were 45 degrees and the bars were not colored?

Again, the angles are nowhere near 45 degrees. The range of the scale for those studies is showing from -2.00 to 3.00, so none of the data in the visible charting area is even close to 45 degrees.

You need to keep in mind that you can not visualize the angle from what you see on the screen. The angle is going to be determined based on changes in the price over time, where the time is per bar, so a change from one bar to the next is a change in time of 1 unit. Since you can change how the time scale is displayed, this affects how you visualize the graph.

it appears your'e not looking at the chart angle study? The study I'm referring to is in Scale 3 the dotted lines are clearly >45 degrees, orange dotted line is .671 and
dotted blue line value is 2.148. Is that not what I should be alerted on?

We are looking at the Angle Study in Region 3 from your image. The connecting lines in that region does not mean anything. That is not a reflection of the angle of the study that you are wanting to view. You need to look at the actual value at each bar. For instance, the angles of the studies at the current bar are 0.671 and 2.148.

Also, as we have stated previously, if you look at the range of the scale, the values for the angle studies within the visible view are between the values of -2.00 and 3.00.

Refer to the following for more information on the Study Angle study:
