Post From: How to set a specific price alert?

It does not necessarily matter, that is up to you. We just want to make sure that you have a clear understanding of how the Alert Condition Formula is intended to work.

And not just simply a vague idea without knowing very detailed specifics.

The reference is the previous high.
For example if I set the alert at this moment, the reference would be the current price.
If the price drops by $200 WITHOUT making a new high, then the alarm will sound.
If the price instead makes a new high then that new high is the new reference price.

The Alert Formula for this is:
=AND (H[-1] >= H[0], H[-1]-C >=200)

Whether this accomplishes what you want or not, is up to you. We cannot provide further help since we do not provide formula programming help.
