[Programming Help] - Heikin-Ashi with Spreadsheet for Trading Studies.

I have modified the Heikin-Ashi study to a simple up/down with no color differences for open or close. Open/High = white and Low/Last = red. I would like to incorporate this into the Spreadsheet Study for Trading with a simple buy/sell based on the colors. I think the cell would look like this:

=OR((ID1,SG1=white),(ID1,SG2=white)) for the buy.

=OR((ID1,SG3=red),(ID1,SG4=red)) for the sell.

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but I cannot find the parameters to use to determine "white" or "red".

Thanks

The formulas would be the same, regardless of the colors:

Buy, cell K3:
=AND(ID1.SG4@4<ID1.SG1@4,ID1.SG4@3>ID1.SG1@3)
Sell, cell M3:
=AND(ID1.SG4@4>ID1.SG1@4,ID1.SG4@3<ID1.SG1@3)

But to avoid a missed signal at a doji, you'll need to use a variation of this in another Formula Column, e.g. in cell T3 : ...
Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Formula that Matches the Coloring of Up and Down Price Bars

=IF(OR(ID1.SG4@3>ID1.SG1@3,AND(ID1.SG1@3>ID1.SG4@4,ID1.SG1@3=ID1.SG4@3)),1,IF(OR(ID1.SG4@3<ID1.SG1@3,AND(ID1.SG1@3<ID1.SG4@4,ID1.SG1@3=ID1.SG4@3)),-1,T4))

...then find the transitions:
Buy, cell K3:
=AND(T4=-1,T3=1)
Sell, cell M3:
=AND(T4=1,T3=-1)

Thanks very much Tom. I will try some testing now.

I thought about just using the parameters of the study itself, but I thought using the color might be easier.

The colors themselves are not accessible; only the conditions that create the colors.
