I've been ripping my hair out trying to figure out a formula to indicate a daily price change alert. I want to create color backgrounds for when the Daily Price Change / DChg changes by let's say 50 points. How would I create this alert? I would assume that a formula that reads: C>C[-1] is getting warm but I need for my alert to read changes of larger than 50 points. Thanks! - BTW I wasn't able to do it with using the Daily OHLC study either (referencing one day back), I still run into the same issues. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-09-13 15:33:18

When comparing the current price to yesterday's close, =C>C[-1] would only work on a Daily chart. To reference the Daily OHLC study, the formula would look like this: =C>ID1.SG4 where ID1 is the Daily OHLC study, and Reference Days Back is 1. To get an alert when the difference is >50 points: =ID1.SG4-C>50 To get an alert when the difference is >50 ticks: =ID1.SG4-C>TICKSIZE*50 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-09-13 16:09:12
