Hi Support Can you help me with an alert condition for when a long or short candles wick is more than (X) ticks from the open... I'm using the study 'Highest High/Lowest Low over N Bars' to mark the open of the bar...SO I could use the same study if it's easier, as I don't need to colour the bar. 1. Long candle - Bottom wick is more than (50) ticks in length from candle open + current price has moved above the candle open by more than (50) ticks 2 Short candle - Top wick is more than (50) ticks in length from candle open + current price has moved below the candle open by more than (50) ticks Many Thx |

The Alert Condition for situation #1 would be the following: =AND((O - L) / TICKSIZE > 50, (C - O) / TICKSIZE > 50) We leave it to you to work out the other situation.

Sorry 2 things.... 1. I'm evaluating while the bar is open - NOT when the bar is closed! So does this change things? 2. Is this for the 'Highest High/Lowest Low over N Bars' study which only allows 2 inputs? Thx |
