Hello, hopefully someone can help me please? I'm trying to set alerts for when delta exceeds as an example, 700 delta, either negative or positive. I have a formula of =ID3.SG1 > 700 for bullish delta and =ID3.SG1 < 700 for negative delta. Sometimes it works, but often it does not. Is this correct? And if not, could someone assist with the correct formula? ID and SG number are correct for the study I want this applied too. Thanks in advance! |

Try this: =OR(ID3.SG1 > 700, ID3.SG1 < -700) If you put this formula on the Alerts tab of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, each bar will be colored when TRUE. |

Thank you for your help! I appreciate it. It alerts for the positive delta, but not the negative, which is the same issue I was having.... Cant figure out what i'm missing or doing wrong! |

It alerts for the positive delta, but not the negative
Put the formula on the Alerts tab of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study to visually confirm it is not alerting on the negative.Then put the cursor on the bar where the failure occurs and note the delta value in the Tool Values Window, or the Compact Tool Values Window. |
