Hi, can SC have a conditional alert? Ex: C > C[-1] = green OR if C< C[-1] = red Thanks! |

Yes, you can use the OR function in SC. https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetFunctions.html#OR_Function -- Scott |

So it would look something like this? =OR(C>C[-1],C<C[-1]) I understand that one of those will return TRUE...but can this conditional result then print one of two colors for a bar on the alert? So if C is > C[-1] the bar would be green, if C < C[-1] the bar would be red Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-05-17 16:21:18

The easiest thing you could do for this would be to use 2 copies of the Color Bar Based on Alert study and put --> =C<C[-1] in your Green alert (or whatever color you choose) in the first study and put --> =C>C[-1] in your second study and choose the color of the bar for this alert. Together they will get you what you need. You can string together more conditions using the AND/OR functions but if you want to get much more complicated than that you'll need to move to the Spreadsheet studies or ACSIL. I don't "think" you can identify colors in the Simple Alerts without the use of the Color Bar or Color Background Studies but I am NO expert when it comes to coding alerts. I've become fairly competent with the Simple Alert system but not much beyond that. -- Scott Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-05-17 16:35:08
