I have a color bar based on alert condition study that outputs triangles. I desire to place teh triangles at the bottom(or possibly top) of my chart versus somewhere on the chart. I have attached a chart for reference and indicated where I would like to place these triangles. Can this be acomplished?

Fairly easy to do. The attached picture shows a simple example where green arrows indicate a higher high than the previous bar and red arrows indicate a lower low than the previous bar. You can go through the attached chartbook to see how I did it.

Note that the chartbook expects to find data for the symbol 'ES-201603-GLOBEX' when it opens. So, if you don't have data for that symbol, just change the symbol name to something you do have after you open it.

What's the purpose for horizontal lines?

When the "Color Bar Base On Alert Condition" study is placed in a subgraph region by itself, part of the triangle drawing can get cut off. Since this study returns the value 1 when a condition is true, I added hidden horizontal lines at 0.5 and 1.5 to vertically center the triangle drawing within the region.

I had originally tried using a "User Defined" Scale to accomplish the same thing without these lines, but I couldn't get it to work.

We have created an example here to demonstrate how this can be done:

I want to add color arrow or dot to the existing indicator, eg, TRIX, but the arrow/dot are not at zero line, but at the top edge, and only half shown. How can I show that on zero line?

this doc reference is not helpful at all. I have no problem put a horizontal 0 line together with trix. However, when I add the color bar into the same region, if automatic, the trix line is flat. If I choose independent, the arrows only half show, but at the top of the region. I tried all the scale options, none works.
