[User Discussion] - Alert Syntax issues

I've been trying to get an alert that when a renko bar opens higher than the previous bar and the zig zag cumulative volume is great than 100, for example, an arrow or triangle or bar would change color. Same would be for the reverse.

Every attempt has led to an syntax error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What I'm trying to do is when my renko bar closes and the ask/bid volume difference bars is below -4000 then a red arrow is put on the main price chart or if my renko bar closes and the volume difference is above 4000 a green arrow.

The instrument is the ES with FLex renko of 10-9-1.

Thanks for your assistance.

Use two instances of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, one for up and one for down.
-Set the 'Output When Condition True' to 'Use Input Data'
-Set the 'Input Data' to 'Low' for the green Arrow Up, and 'High' for the red Arrow Down, respectively
-Set the Draw Styles to Arrow Up and Arrow Down, respectively
-Put these formulas on the Alerts tabs, respectively:
=ID1.SG4>4000
=ID1.SG4<-4000
where ID1 is the Ask/Bid Volume Difference Bars study.
