I have a color bar based on alert condition study that outputs triangles. I desire to place teh triangles at the bottom(or possibly top) of my chart versus somewhere on the chart. I have attached a chart for reference and indicated where I would like to place these triangles. Can this be acomplished?

Fairly easy to do. The attached picture shows a simple example where green arrows indicate a higher high than the previous bar and red arrows indicate a lower low than the previous bar. You can go through the attached chartbook to see how I did it. Note that the chartbook expects to find data for the symbol 'ES-201603-GLOBEX' when it opens. So, if you don't have data for that symbol, just change the symbol name to something you do have after you open it. |

What's the purpose for horizontal lines?

When the "Color Bar Base On Alert Condition" study is placed in a subgraph region by itself, part of the triangle drawing can get cut off. Since this study returns the value 1 when a condition is true, I added hidden horizontal lines at 0.5 and 1.5 to vertically center the triangle drawing within the region. I had originally tried using a "User Defined" Scale to accomplish the same thing without these lines, but I couldn't get it to work. |

I want to add color arrow or dot to the existing indicator, eg, TRIX, but the arrow/dot are not at zero line, but at the top edge, and only half shown. How can I show that on zero line?

this doc reference is not helpful at all. I have no problem put a horizontal 0 line together with trix. However, when I add the color bar into the same region, if automatic, the trix line is flat. If I choose independent, the arrows only half show, but at the top of the region. I tried all the scale options, none works.
