SC or anyone else who knows how to write code,

How would I code an alert on a 10 range bar that has no more than 2 minutes between the current bar and 2 bars prior?
This is what I have so far----
bartime[2] - bartime[0] <= 00:02:00

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

=BARTIME-BARTIME[-2]<=TIMEVALUE("00:02:00")

The bartime uses Excel time formatting, and formulas can use many Excel functions.
The current bar has a larger time value than previous bars.
The bartime is the bar open timestamp.

When SC evaluates the timevalue, does it use the open of the bar like it does to print the times on the bottom of a chart?

And thanks for your reply, that is exactly what i wanted to do.

Also, how do I evaluate for only a touch of a moving average and not just a close or a low or a high beyond a moving average?

Thanks in advance.
