trying to write an alert using this study. Since i cannot just poll the previous bar and find a match, How might i identify the bar with the previous occurrence of the SG1 or SG2 ?

Try one of these: =SG1[-4]>0 =SG2[-4]>0 or OR(SG1[-4]>0,SG2[-4]>0) where the [-4] value is one bar less than the Length setting of 5. |

thanks. so I would probably need a spreadsheet study to find the OHLC of whatever bar it finds is the previous swing high. ?

Yes, because Simple Alerts are only T/F. Use a formula like this in a Formula Column on the spreadsheet, e.g. in cell M3: =IF(AA3>0,C3,M4) This will grab the High when there is a new swing high in column AA, and repeat it until the next swing high. |
