Hello I would like to have the software evaluate the previous bar and alert me if the current bar makes both a new high and a new low compared to the most recent bar. I'm not sure if this would be an alert condition or a custom study. Could you point me in the correct direction to find documentation on this (if there is any)? Thank you |

Here's the documentation: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_AlertCondAndScan.html Try this formula: =AND(H>H[-1],L<L[-1]) |

is there a way to use this formula you just posted and plot it under a bar say using an arrow or something? with color bar based on alert condition?

Yes, put the formula on the Alerts tab of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, and then choose one of the Draw Styles.

Thank you very much tomgilb...the formula works, and using a colored bar like User51479 suggested is great as well! D |
