Hello,

can anyone please create a study collection or some sort of alert - dot on a barchart where there would be 2 consecutive closes in one direction?

So for example, if day 1 is down close and day 2 is down close- there should be a blue dot or something below that day 2 bar. And if day 1 closes up and day 2 closes up as well, there should be a red dot above day 2 bar.

Obviously if consecutive closes continue, dots would continue to show as long as there are "Two consecutive closes in one direction".

Here is an example of 2 consec. down closes: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1464158168534.png

and here with 2 conse. up closes: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1464158245197.png


Thank you very much if anyone is capable to write such an alert !!

Try this:

Add two instances of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, one for each color/direction.
Use these formulas on the Alerts tab of the respective study:
Two consecutive up closes:
=AND(C>C[-1],C[-1]>C[-2])
Two consecutive down closes:
=AND(C<C[-1],C[-1]<C[-2])

Choose your Draw Style and color.
