I'm creating a formula with the following conditions:

1.- Closed bar higher than the previous and negative delta & closed bar lower than the previous with positive delta


=OR(AND(C > C[1], ID1.SG1 - ID1.SG1[1] < 0), AND(C < C[1], ID1.SG1 - ID1.SG1[1] > 0))


somehow isn't working well, what am I missing?

You'd have to post a chart to know for sure, but the formula seems ok. Technique to debug is use Color Bar Based On Alert Condition. Put a single part of your formula in it. Set the ColorBar SG to Background so it's obvious when it triggers. Repeat for each part of your formula, or duplicate it and use one for each part. Once sorted out, combine with your AND / OR groupings.

I would try:
C > C[1] | obvious...should work
ID1.SG1 - ID1.SG1[1] < 0 | is this working??
etc.

How can I change it to a bar color instead of a closed bar instead? I don't see a subgraph as you can see in the screenshot

The previous bar is [-1], so you need C > C[-1], or C[0] > C[-1]. For delta, do you want to compare two bars difference, or just the delta in one bar?
here is your chartbook (you will have to Edit | Translate Symbol) on your machine.
Notice the 2 studies I added 12/13 with ID 3/4 with CBBOAC formulas.
From here, you should be able to get going.
