Need a nudge here to get going...in the default Spreadsheet System for Trading Study, I'm placing a conditional in cell J106 that I want to return '1' (True) if the range of the prior candle/bar's High price, minus the prior Low price, is less than or equal to 4TICKSIZE (where TICKSIZE is listed by-default in cell J21); else '0' (False). This is what I've input, but it throws a syntax error, whether as-shown or adding spaces between the math operators: =IF((ID0.SG2[-1]-ID0.SG3[-1])<=(J214),1,0) I also tried this, to same result: =IF((ID0.SG2[-1]-ID0.SG3[-1])<=(TICKSIZE4),1,0) Any suggestion?

You are using a Simple Alert syntax on a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet syntax is different. Try this: =C4-D4<=J214 or this: =ID0.SG2@4-ID0.SG3@4<=J214 Notes: - If the result is Boolean (T/F), you don't need to use the IF function. - The current bar is in row 3 and previous bars are in rows below. - When referencing cells in Formula Columns, or in columns A-J, you can use traditional column/row references. - When referencing study output columns, it is best to use this format: Working with Spreadsheets: References to Study Subgraph Columns when using the Spreadsheet Study - SC Engineering might add new system outputs so it is not recommended to use open cells in columns I or J. Column H is open for the user. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-03-13 04:26:26

Thank you very much for the help, Tom. The '@4' portion makes sense now too, since you noted current bar as row 3.
