Post From: Referencing Alert Condition Studies From Trading Systems Based on Alert Condition Study

Hello,

I am working on an automated trading system, and have been using the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition to generate signals while back-testing; one feature I use often is a simple True/False condition check of a different Alert Condition study, ie IDx.SG1 > 0 = TRUE, IDx.SG1 < 1 = False; this allows me to "nest" complex code very easily with out having to make it all explicit within a Alert Condition single study, and allows different studies to refer to each other.

However, when I try to use this same True/False logic to reference other Color Bar Based on Alert Condition Studies within the Trading System Based on Alert Condition study, I find that the signals do not generate correctly, or at all. I am wondering if this is by design, or whether a known feature of how the Trading System/Alert Condition study is designed? It would be extremely useful to be able to refer to other studies as True/False in the same way it is possible to do with in Color Bar/Alert Condition, as otherwise the amount of coding becomes extremely complex in my case.

If there is a way of doing this that I have missed, please let me know - otherwise consider this a feature request.

Thank you -
