Include something like this in the formula:

=AND(BARTIME>TIMEVALUE("09:00:00"),BARTIME<TIMEVALUE("12:00:00"))

that works!! could you please help me with this, it is the same formula but i cannot make it as i want. i have this:

=AND((AV-BV)>BV,V>((V[-1]+V[-2]+V[-3]+V[-4]+V[-5])/5)*1,BARTIME>TIMEVALUE("09:00:00"),BARTIME<TIMEVALUE("12:00:00"))

now i prefer the volume part other way. i would like to higlight just the bars they have volume bigger then an average betwen 9:00 and 12:00. the reason why i use just 5last bars V>((V[-1]+V[-2]+V[-3]+V[-4]+V[-5])/5)*1 is because i dont know how to make this part of formula from 9:00 to 12:00. do you think there is chance to write this part?

btw, this part about volume is also from you:-)

thanks

It's not clear to me what you want to change. Please expand your explanation.

i would like to change the part about volume: V>((V[-1]+V[-2]+V[-3]+V[-4]+V[-5])/5)*1
this mean the condition is on when volume is bigger then an averade of past 5 bars.

and i would like to have the condition on when volume is bigger then an average of volume for all bars from 9:00 - it means from open. so volume on last bar needs to be compared with all bars from 9:00 till previous bar of the last bar.

This cannot be done with a Simple Alert formula. It could be done with a spreadsheet study.
