Color Bar Based on Alert Condition - Cumulative Delta Bars - Volume Study

View Count: 37

I'm trying to get a visual alert on the main price graph (Using Numbers Bars) when the current main price graph bar closes higher and the bar on the study (Cumulative Delta Bars - Volume) closes showing negative delta.

This is the alert condition:

=C > O AND ID3.SG4 < ID3.SG1

ID3.SG4 is the Close of the CDBV study & ID3.SG1 is the Open.

I do not get any Syntax or other errors in the Message Log, however, there is no visual alert when a current main price graph bar closes higher and the CDBV study shows negative delta. I followed the steps in the, "Drawing Arrows/Text or Other Styles at the High or Low of Bars" in the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition Studies Reference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Dave

You are not using the AND() function properly. Your formula should be the following:
=AND(C > O, ID3.SG4 < ID3.SG1)

Refer to the following:
