Currently using the "Color Bar based on Alert Condition" study and I'm not sure what formula to use to get it to color a bar a different color if it has a greater height than any of the previous 5 bars on a 2000 tick chart.

It would be the following formula to test against the previous two bars (we leave it to you to expand it to 5 bars, or however many you want): = AND((H - L) > (H[-1] - L[-1]), (H - L) > (H[-2] - L[-2])) The particular items you need to reference are the following: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: OR and AND Functions Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Available Main Price Graph Identifiers/Variables Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing Data Other Than on the Last Bar/Column In the Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
