I use Renko bars and want to colour them when price reverses x number of points. For instance, if a 4 Renko bar closes and then reverses 12 points I want the bar to change colour - and then so on etc. What colour bar study should I use and how do you write the code etc. Many thanks. |

For this you need to use the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s252 We do not write formulas. You will need to work out the formula. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

Try this: Add two instances of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, one for each color/direction. Put this in the Alerts tab of the 'go long' instance: =AND(C[-2]<O[-2],C[-1]>O[-1],C>O) Put this in the Alerts tab of the 'go short' instance: =AND(C[-2]>O[-2],C[-1]<O[-1],C<O) This only works if the reversal amount is 3 times the renko bar size. |

tomgilb - Many thanks for your reply, but I cannot get it to work. I get an error message "Invalid formula". But thanks for trying. ( Which is more than can be said for SC support!!) |

User74484, don't type the formulas; copy/paste them. That way there will be no typos.
