Auto-Coloring with Value on Low Draw Style

Hello Support,

I am currently placing the text value of volume on the bottom of each price candle using the Volume Study, and using the Color Bar based on Alert Study to draw a hashmark on the candles if the volume is > 1000.

I would like to print the text value of volume ONLY if it is greater than 1000.

One of the functions of Auto-Coloring is currently "Based on +/-"

Could you add a feature in Auto-Coloring like "Based on >" and "Based on <" and a value input field ?

Then the value would only appear when the criteria was met (i.e. hot pink when above 1000). That way, only the outliers would be printed on the chart.

Thank you,

Try this:

1) Check Hide on the Volume study
2) On the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study:
-set the Based On to the Volume study.
-set Output When Condition True to Use Input Data
-set Input Data to Volume
-set the Draw Style to Value On Low
-use a formula like this on the Alerts tab:
=ID1.SG1>1000
where the Volume study is ID1

The suggestion given in post #2 is good.

Also, a request like this is best done using ACSIL or what has already been given in post #2. It is not a feature that we think really needs to be added when there are other programmatic ways of doing something custom like this.
