Hello SC,

I have tried to ask this before on the support board and I received no response, so I will ask you.

How do I code an alert if I want the background color to change when there is no more than 2 minutes between this current bar and two bars prior on a 10 Range chart for the NG.

This is what I have so far....


=bartime[2]-bartime[0]<timevalue"00:02:00"


Thanks in advance.

(2nd Request)

This is the formula:
= (BARTIME[0] - BARTIME[2]) < (2/1440.0)

We also recommend enabling the option to reset the alert condition on a new bar.

SC:

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.

The time of a bar is the starting time of the bar.

SC

One other thing I thought of is how do i evaluate for just a touch of a moving average as compared to a close above or below a moving average?

i have this right now
=crossover(sg1,C)

Where sg1 is the moving average and C is the close as you know.

Thanks in advance.
