Volume is ID1.SG1. I just want an alert if the volume of the current bar exceeds the volume of the prior bar.

Should this code work?

=ID1.SG1>ID1.SG1[-1]

Here is the error: Alert Formula Error - Chart: ESH5 1 Min #4 | Study: Color Background Based On Alert Condition | Error: #NAME? | Formula: =AND(ID1.SG1>ID2.SG1*2,ID1.SG1>ID1.SG1[-1]) | No alert sound/email

There is another study that is part of the alert - that is not the problem as it works on its own.

Thanks for any input,
PZ

It could be the ID numbers are wrong.

Check them to make sure those are the actual correct study ID numbers.

It is definitely ID1.SG1 - could it be anything else?

Strangely, when I put this condition onto a fresh chart with no other studies, it works fine.

I have the same problem.

What is really strange is that the studies had no issues whatsoever prior to.

Today, when I try to edit and then save a set of Study Collection, this same error came up - on one of the study that I did NOT change in the editing.

What is going on??
