Is there a simple way that I can use a formula where, for instance, I'd like the low of the current bar to be lower than all of the previous 10 bars?

Hi. I didn't get a response on this. Is this possible or do I have to reference each individual bar? Again I want the alert to trigger when the current bar low is lower than the previous 10 bar lows. Thanks.

You could use the Highest/Lowest over N-Bars study set to length of 10 to show when the low breaks lower.

You'll have to reference each individual bar because you cannot reference a range in Simple Alerts formulas.
For example, this formula L<MIN(L[-1]:L[-10]) returns the same as L<MIN(L[-1],L[-10])

So use this:
=AND(L<L[-1],L<L[-2],L<L[-3],L<L[-4],L<L[-5],L<L[-6],L<L[-7],L<L[-8],L<L[-9],L<L[-10])

With simple alert formulas there is not the ability currently to specify data from multiple bars as a single range. Each bar needs to be specified individually.
