[User Discussion] - Key reversal bar using Colour bar based on alert condition (or similar)

View Count: 1700

Can anyone help with the correct code for this please? I want to show a bar colour change (or an arrow etc) to show key reversal bars ~ where in a downtrend the low is lower than the previous bar, but the close is within the top half of the bar (and conversely up bars).

Many thanks.

Try this:

=AND(L<L[-1],C>(H-L)/2)

Great, thanks Tom, you set me on the right track. This seems to work for a close in the top/bottom 1/3rd of the bar:-

=AND(L<L[-1],C>(H-(H-L)/3)) for a bottom reversal and

=AND(H>H[-1],C<(L+(H-L)/3)) for top reverse

Hi, I would like to have Key Reversal indicator, but I can't program, so I don't know where should I put that code. Don't you please have the *.cpp file of it?

Add two instances of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, and put each formula in post#3 on the respective Alerts tab of each.
