I'm trying to use this as a Buy alert in K3 of an alert spreadsheet and getting the syntax error. All the IDx:SGx$3 references reference valid values that update every bar. Thanks

=AND(ID9:SG9$3 < -250, ID1:SG4$3 > 1, ID4:SG4$3 > 1, ID5:SG4$3 > 1, ID6:SG4$3 > 1, ID2:SG4$3 > 1)

You need to use an @ sign not a $ sign. Such as ID9.SG9@3. Refer to the following:
Working with Spreadsheets: References to Study Subgraph Columns when using the Spreadsheet Study

If you want an absolute reference to specific data, then you would need to use both, such as:
ID9.SG9@$3

I was using a colon instead of a period between the ID and SG. Woops.... Thanks.
