You are close, but your formula is not quite correct. For one thing, you are using an AND() function, but you do not have multiple conditions, so there is no reason for this. Second, you are using a Less Than operator, which will not work. And finally, you would need to test at least 2 Volume at Price Threshold Alerts for the low, since there could be one at the low as well as 1 tick up. Therefore, your formula for an imbalance at one tick up from the low would be the following:
=OR(ID10.SG1 = L + TICKSIZE, ID10.SG2 = L + TICKSIZE)

Where ID10 is the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2. The above happens to work because the evaluation of the conditions for the "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2" goes from the Low to the High.

We leave it to you to work out the High condition, but we can tell you that you will have to include as many subgraphs as there could be price levels in a bar. As such, it could be easier to use the Spreadsheet Study to do the evaluation.

The Input for "Highlight Adjacent Alerts Minimum Group Size" gives you this ability. Refer to the information for this Input at the following link:
Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2: Inputs

To set an alert when there is at least one group of adjacent alerts, your alert would be the following:
=ID10.SG50

There is not a direct way to determine when price has "crossed" an adjacent alerts group.

Is this really what you are wanting to do? To get an alert when price has moved back to that region and crossed through it? If so, does it matter if it is the top, middle, or bottom of the group?

For now as i have not really the compétence to code i use a lot the trading system based on alerte condition study. So what i want to do IS get an alert when the Price Come back to that région and hit the low of the group for an sell signal and the high of the alert group for a buy signal, and a i want to get the alert only After some candle have been drawn.
(I mean the candle with the stacked imbalance is close i dont want to get an alert if the Price Come back directly on the area on the first candle just After, i want a condition liké wait 2 or 3 candle minimum to form and if Price Come back After this candle are form it's ok alert Can appear.

Does it matter if the price is coming from above or below? For example, in the situation where the price needs to return to the lowest price of the group to give you a Sell signal, does the price need to have been above this price and come down, or below this price and come up, or can it be either?

Yes for a sell signal Price have to Come from below and for a buy signal Price have to Come from above. I use a pullback stratégie so i expect Price to pullback to this stacked imbalance this stacked imbalance area and to bounce on it.

To do this for the situation where , you would use an alert formula that looks like the following:
=AND(ID1.SG50, CROSSFROMBELOW(C, ID1.SG49[-2])

Where ID1 is the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2, SG50 is the "Adjacent Alerts Highlight Top 1" subgraph of the "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2", C is the Close and SG49 is the "Adjacent Alerts Highlight Bottom 1".

You are first checking SG50 to see if there is group defined. SG49 always holds a value, which is why you need SG50, but then SG49 is the actual one checked for the crossfrombelow since it is at the bottom.

We leave the other formula for you to work out.
