Hi Tom and John

Could you help please; I have added a few symbols as study/price overlays to a chart - the added symbols are internals like DVOL/UVOL and ADV/DEC issues.

I want to enter a trade when these charts have a large increase in volume i.e. if DVOL and DEC have large candles increase in volume I want to enter a short.

I have this from a volume increase alert for a candle - =average(v[-1:0])>average(v[-20:-3])*1.8

Could I add the studies to this for a simple trading alert study - =AND(ID1.SG4,average(v[-1:0])>ID1.SG4,average(v[-20:-3])*1.8, ID2.SG4,average(v[-1:0])>ID2.SG4,average(v[-20:-3])*1.8)

SG4 being the close of the candle in both cases? I'm really not sure on this.

Much appreciated

Yes, but you must make a comparison to the subgraph value, since the Close is not a boolean value (T/F).

Any non-zero value is a TRUE, so the Close value without a comparison will always be TRUE.
