Hello, how do I form a condition, which is a negation, eg. if "NOT(C[-1]>O[-1])", then condition is True. In NinjaScript one can use character "!" to negate the following condition - how to do it with SC when defining an Alert condition in a Study? Thanks. |

Hmmm, it looks my example was way too simplistic. I didn't really mean what you thought you replied to, I meant specifically how to NEGATE a condition. What's SC's condition operator which is comparable to Ninjascript's "!" ??

The formulas use the Excel formula syntax. So refer to the available information on the Internet for Microsoft Excel formulas. Nothing comes to mind to do exactly something like what you show.

Thank you for pointing out the NOT function: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/not-HP005209196.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HP005204211 We had thought this function might have existed but we had not looked and what we were more thinking about was whether there was a not operator . Although you could do something like this: = (expression) = FALSE Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I just tried Excel's NOT operator, and it seems to work. The syntax is: NOT( logical_value ), and it simply returns the opposite of 'logical_value'. I can tell it's very useful in many cases where you want to define conditions where eg. "A and B and C, but NOT D". I recommend for you to verify it and add into the operator list in "Alert Condition Formula Format" in SC guide.

Use the "!" character, which is the logical not unary operator. For example: "!(C[-1]>O[-1])" |
