I already have the SC default study "Swing High and Low" on my chart. I have one other simple condition that I'd like to combine it with ("=and", I guess) in order to Color Bars if/when both conditions are met. I don't know how to reference "Swing High or Low" from Study ID1(the previously stated SC Study I already have on my chart). I imagine it has something to do with the Swing High/Low condition from ID1 being "True", but don't have the slightest idea how to reference it. Any advice out there. It should be simple, I think, but I've forgotten a lot of the Formula/Conditions, etc. basics. Thank you.

The "Swing High and Low" study has 2 main subgraphs - "Swing High" and "Swing Low". Each of these will be a non-zero (true) value when/where the arrow is printed on the chart (Arrow Down for Swing High, Arrow Up for Swing Low). Therefore, in order to test if a bar has a Swing High, you would use a formula like the following: =ID1.SG1 Where ID1 is the ID of the Swing High and Low study and SG1 is the Swing High subgraph.

Thanks, John. Yes, I've already been messing around with ID#(Swing High and Swing Low).SG1 or 2, to no avail. I don't think I articulated what I'm trying to do very well. Let me try to explain it better, all the while trying to keep it simple: I'd like to color a bar if it satisfies 2 conditions: #1.) If it is a Swing High or Swing Low based upon the default SC Study, and 2.)some other condition. For example, that second condition could be as basic as (H-L<=x), or other simple conditions that I might choose. Basically, how do I add the first condition to another condition in a =and(condition #1,condition #2) format ?? I've been able to color the bar based on single conditions alone, but don't know how to add the condition #1. |

Just got it, John. Sorry for my "dense", brain-fog slow comprehension. I didn't realize I could just simply add "ID#(Swing High/Low Study).SG1 or 2"(all alone, no "=" preceding, unless it was just a stand-alone single condition) and then "," and then condition #2 all within the "=(,)" format.

Hopefully you have this working now, but be aware of how the AND() and OR() functions work for an Alert.
