Was hoping someone could help me out with this. What I'm trying to to do: Create an audio alert for when there is a candle wick that is 3 ticks or more. I describe these wicks the following ways: Up Wicks Close > Open and High > Close + 3 Ticks Close < Open and High > Open + 3 Ticks Down wicks Close < Open and Low < Close - 3 Ticks Close > Open and Low < Open - 3 Ticks I've tried the following syntax for the up wicks (which doesn't work): =OR(AND (C > O, H > (C + 2*TICKSIZE)), AND (C < O, H > (O + 2*TICKSIZE)) If someone who is more knowledgeable could help me get this straightened out, I'd really appreciate it. |

Got this to work (it seems). Syntax Error. If anyone is interested in this for any reason, here's the full alert: =OR(AND (C > O, H > (C + 2*TICKSIZE)), AND (C < O, H > (O + 2*TICKSIZE)), AND (C < O, L < (C - 2*TICKSIZE)), AND (O > L, L < (O - 2*TICKSIZE))) Change the number in front of the TICKSIZE variable to change the length of the wick you want for the alert. |
