Hello, would it be possible to post an example spreadsheet study of this? I understand that Price Graph Style must be turned on to "yes" but I am having some difficulty figuring out how the formulas would work in KLMN since the values are constantly changing.

Thank you!

If you just want to color a bar a particular color when a condition is true, then you would use the Spreadsheet System/Alert Study:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading

And you would not set Use Price Graph Style to Yes. You just use a formula that returns any nonzero value when true.

Thanks for the quick response. To clarify, I have a subgraph in a spreadsheet that I'd like to display the OHLC instead of just a point at close. I understand I will need 4 formulas, in columns K,L,M,N for OHLC.

The formulas show the latest reading so I am a bit confused on how to capture the Open, High, and Low, as the numbers are always updating (Close).

Would it be possible to point me to an example of a spreadsheet study with a candle output?

So do you want to display different Open, high, Low, Close values as compared to the actual chart bar?

I would like to display the OHLC for AskTrades-BidTrades (Numbers bars calculated values).

Open and Low will be 0 and Close is plotted by default, so really I am curious how to plot the High.
