I use the color bar based on alert condition for buy imbalances and then I use the extension line feature that was just added. I've attached a screenshot. I would like to use the color bar alert condition again to provide an alert when the low of a bar (any bar) equals one of these lines (any line) as shown in the screenshot. I've tried to do it by referencing the ID and SG #'s in the original color bar indicator but I can't seem to get it to work. Is this possible? Can you help? Thank you.

What you are wanting to do is not possible with Simple Alerts, nor even with a spreadsheet study. It is sufficiently complex to require a custom programmed ACSIL study.

Hey Tom (I assume your name is Tom. Let me know if I'm wrong.), I have a color bar study that I've created. I'll call it color bar study A. I would like to create another color bar study that generates a signal and part of the equation would require that one of the previous 3 bars is a color bar study A bar. I've looked all over and can't find a simple way to go about this. Can you offer any assistance please? John |

Try this: =AND(OR(ID1.SG1[-1]>0,ID1.SG1[-2]>0,ID1.SG1[-3]>0),yourotherconditions) |

Hey Tom, I need to have a custom indicator built. It should be pretty straight forward. Is this something that you do? If so I'd like to talk with you about it. If not, can you recommend someone? Thanks. |

Hey Tom, Hope all is well. 2 things. One, thank you for sending me to Onn for my custom indicator. He helped me out and it's worked out great. Second, you helped me earlier on this thread when I was designing a color bar and I wanted one of the previous 3 bars to be a specific color bar that I already had. I'm having trouble adding a condition. I want the low of my current bar to be higher than or equal to any of the lows of the 3 bars that happen to be one of these specific color bars. Previously you had me use: =AND(OR(ID1.SG1[-1]>0,ID1.SG1[-2]>0,ID1.SG1[-3]>0),yourotherconditions) which worked out great to identify if one of the previous 3 bars was one of these. I tried OR(ID1.SG1[-1]<L, ID1.SG1[-2]<L, ID1.SG1[-3]<L). I have the value of these bars that I refer to at -1 from the low so I would think this would work but it isn't. Can you help? Thanks again.
