Try this:

=H+(TICKSIZE*20)>ID1.SG1

it looks like this code takes the high and adds 20 ticks to it

Yes, it goes TRUE when the High + 20 ticks is greater than the study.

One way to visually test alert formulas is to put the formula in a Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study.

that is how im using it for running a few statistical tests.. is there a way to run this through a spreadsheet and return how many days a month it comes back true? this would also help me a lot rather than manually going through years of data

I don't think you are using the correct syntax:
