VPOC Shift Alert

How would I code an alert to trigger when the POC shifts in the Volume Value Area Lines study. I want it to trigger for any shift at all, up or down. I know the general syntax (For Ex: ID1.SG1 > 1900) for alerts but I don't know what to reference to make this alert. Is there a last value or something like that for the POC to reference?

It sounds like you want to reference the prior value of the point of control study Subgraph. Use this to reference the prior value:
ID1.SG1[-1]

So to trigger if prior value is greater or less than current value, would it be 1 or 2?

(1) =ID1.SG1[-1] <> ID1.SG1[1]

(2) =ID1.SG1[-1] <> ID1.SG1[0]

Formula 1 does not make sense.

2 should be what you want.

Are you using the "Volume Value Area Lines" study and did you change the ID to be the ID of your study?

Refer to the following:

I had to activate Developing POC and to use
=ID1.SG2[-1] <> ID1.SG2[0]
and it is working. Thanks you

SG2 of the Volume Value Area Lines is the "Value Area High". If that is what you are wanting to test, then that is fine. We just want you to be aware.

Ooops. I'm sorry I have overlooked that original question is about Volume Value Area Lines. I was looking for solution for Volume By Price, but it works anyway .-)
Thanks you
