Hi,

In all instances that I have tried I am getting a color bar output of 1 to the spreadsheet for the Elder Impulse indicator (Instead Of 1-3).

Please Advise!
Thanks

Yes that does normally make sense.

However, there are Inputs with that study to control this:

Hi,

I was referring to this study and not the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition Study....
Elder Impulse

As stated the color bar has input states 1-3, however I am just getting 1 output to the spreadsheet (In the color bar column)...

How would I get the 3 conditional states on the spreadsheet? Do I need to load another plug in or do I have to manually add the formula in a column?

Thanks!

The Color Bar study is used to draw the particular color, but the actual state of the calculation is not stored with it.

If you have a need to do a test based on the Elder Impulse coloring, then you need to use the calculations that make up how colors 1, 2, and 3 are determined. Refer to the information here:

Hi,

I think I'm not being clear.

For the spreadsheet column of the study - "[ID10.SG7] Color Bar" The only output I get is 1.
I would be expecting to see say 1,1,1,3,3,3,2,2,1,1 etc....

Sorry - I wrote it wrong. The Subgraph for the Color Bar within the Elder Impulse study does not store the state of the color, just the color itself.

Therefore, if you want to do a test based on the coloring, you need to go to the underlying math for how the color is determined and use that information (i.e. Color 1 is used when neither the Moving Average and the MACD are both Increasing or Decreasing (i.e. one is increasing and the other is decreasing)).

The underlying math is specified at the following link:

OK Great,

I plugged in the formula and all is well.

Thanks!
