Hi SC Is it possible to refer to the prices where the highlight max/min values are in the numbers bar? in terms of making an expression for an alert condition such as; where MAXVAL=the most positive value MIN=the most negative value =AND(MAXVAL>POC,C>MAXVAL) for arguments sake? or would i need to use AVAP-BVAP or something? NB i have the numbers bars column one text based on AskVol-BidVol Actual, please see screenshot, where red rectangle highlight is highlight min val, grey is highlight max val and green is poc |

Is it possible to refer to the prices where the highlight max/min values are in the numbers bar?
Yes. When the "Highlight Minimum Value In" and "Highlight Maximum Value In" are set to anything other than "No Columns" then the price level for the Minimum and Maximum highlights is stored in Subgraph 4 (Price at Minimum Highlight) and Subgraph 5 (Price at Maximum Highlight). But you need to set the Input for "Ignore Zero Values for Minimum Highlight" to "Yes", as if this is set to "No", then a zero value would be the minimum, but since it is zero it does not actually get highlighted and therefore the value is the last value at which a valid level was found. =AND(MAXVAL>POC,C>MAXVAL) for arguments sake? or would i need to use AVAP-BVAP or something?
You would set the alert like the following: =AND(ID1.SG5 > ID2.SG1, ID1.SG5 > C) Where ID1 is the ID of the Numbers Bars study, SG5 is the "Price at Maximum Highlight" subgraph of the Numbers Bars study, ID2 is the ID of a study that gives you the level of the POC (such as "Volume Point of Control for Bars"), SG1 is the subgraph of the study that gives you the POC, and C is the Close of the bar.
