Each of these will alert if greater than 3 ticks: wick: =(H-MAX(O,C))/TICKSIZE>3 tail: =(MIN(O,C)-L)/TICKSIZE>3 body: =ABS(O-C)/TICKSIZE>3 You can combine them, like this: OR((H-MAX(O,C))/TICKSIZE>3,(MIN(O,C)-L)/TICKSIZE>3) |

Add the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study and put the formula on its Alerts tab. If you want separate colors for each separate formula, you'll need an instance of the Color Bar study for each color. |

H-MAX(O,C) finds the difference between the High and the upper value of the candle body.MAX is an formula Function that means maximum. https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetFunctions.html#MAX_Function H is the High of a price bar. O and C (Open and Close) are the extremes of a candle body. The maximum of the Open and Close is the upper value of the candle body. It could be the Open or the Close, depending on whether the candle is 'green' or 'red'. |
