What study or alert would I use if I wanted to be alerted by a certain event within a study. For instance, In the "Better Volume" chart study, there is a "High Volume Churn" bar that shows up every so often. How do I get an alert (say an arrow on my main chart[it could be within that study too]) when the duration of that bar last showing up has been over x time (ie:90 seconds)?

I cant find any study that would plot that.
Thank You

I tried solving this way. To isolate the High Churn Volume bar from the rest of the "Better Volume" studies bars, I added another study "Bar Difference" based on the "High Churn Volume" bars. In its Alerts tab I put:
=c BARTIME>=TIMEVALUE(":00:90")
But I get a syntax error. I think because there are still other "bars" being created, just that they are 0, verses when it gets triggered, then the bar is 1. So I would have to somehow do the alert to do the last bar >=1 that's been over 90 seconds.

Since the High Volume Churn Flag (SG10) doesn't go high until the bar closes, you must be using a bar type that is not time-based, so you could add the Bar Time Duration study and alert when the High Vol Churn bar is >= 90 seconds, like this:

=AND(SG1>=TIMEVALUE("00:01:30"),ID2.SG10>0)

where the Better Volume study is ID2.
