SC,

In using the VbP (Volume by Price) study, what is the formula I should use to activate an alert when the current price action touches the POC (point of control) from either direction (above or below)?

Thanks and regards,

Rod

For this you will need to use the Volume Value Area Lines study.

It is not entirely reliable accessing the point of control data from the Volume by Price study.

You will need to use a Simple Alert formula like this with the study: =AND(H>=sg1, L<=sg1)

Here is the documentation:

SC Support,

If top band (VAH) is SG2 and bottom band (VAL) is SG3, what is the formula that triggers an alert when price action crosses either line?

Thanks and regards,

You can use this Simple Alert Formula:
OR (CROSSOVER (SG2, H), CROSSOVER( SG3, L))
