Directional Movement Index Alert

View Count: 570

I'm trying to get the Directional Movement Index to alert when SG1 and SG2 are equal. I cannot use CROSSOVER because that would alert too late.

In my mind, I would think that the following would work:

=SG1 = SG2

...but it doesn't. For kicks, I tried:

=OR(SG1 = SG2, SG2 = SG1)

...and still no dice.

Am I missing something?

In order to ensure there is equal condition being true, you will need to make an adjustment to the Value Format as explained here:

Thank you.

After reviewing the documentation you've sent me, I have increased the decimal point for both the chart format and the study value format (both independently and together) and cannot get this to alert still.

Is it possible for the value to be more than the allowable decimal places for the value format? Or am I still doing something wrong?

Thanks for all you do!

Try setting the Value Format to 1.

You also may never be able to get an exact match.
