New user. I have an alert set on the Heiken Ashi Smoothed study to alert when the color change takes place. Here is the formula. =OR(AND(SG4>SG1,SG1[-1]>SG4[-1]),AND(SG4<SG1,SG1[-1]<SG4[-1])) It works as expected on all but the JPY futures contract, which uses (at least from the IB feed)6 places to the right of the decimal point for pricing. EX; current price is 0.01215. In addition I believe it can fill in 10ths of a point meaning 8 total digits to the right. The alert doesn't work on JPY when instead of < or >, one or both of the figures are =. It makes no difference on the symbols with 4 digits to the right, they fire as expected. I have tried building the chart from scratch, doing a duplicate and then changing symbols. Nothing has worked so far. I am thinking that the other symbols are able to read the tenths of a point, therefore it is highely unlikely that there is actually an =. But since it appears the furthest out SC goes is 6 digits to the right, the JPY can't read the tenths of a point and so doesn't see the qualification. Can you give me a different formula, or is there a way to build the script based on the color itself of the HA Smoothed study. Thanks

I believe I have corrected this. I called IB and they have a price multiplier, as does SC. With the multipliers set to 100 now the price shows correctly and the alert seems to be working. No need to reply further.

We will update the Value Format setting for studies to support 8 decimal places.
