Hello, if I want to be notified when the low of bar has been greater than ID1.SG1 for 20 bars back, how would I code that without something like the below? AND(L[-20]>ID1.SG1[-20],L[-19]>ID1.SG1[-19],L[-18]>ID1.SG1[-18], L[-17]>ID1.SG1[-17],L[-16]>ID1.SG1[-16],L[-15]>ID1.SG1[-15],L[-14]>ID1.SG1 [-14],L[-13]>ID1.SG1[-13],L[-12]>ID1.SG1[-12],L[-11]>ID1.SG1[-11],L[-10]>ID1.SG1[-10], L[-9]>ID1.SG1[-9],L[-8]>ID1.SG1[-8],L[-7]>ID1.SG1[-7],L[-6]>ID1.SG1[-6], L[-5]>ID1.SG1[-5],L[-4]>ID1.SG1[-4],L[-3]>ID1.SG1[-3],L[-2]>ID1.SG1[-2],L>ID1.SG1) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-09-21 13:43:31

You could shorten it by using the MIN function: =L>MIN(ID1.SG1[-20]:ID1.SG1) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-09-21 17:17:51

The : function is what I was missing - thanks Tom as always. PZ

Actually you'll need to use this instead: =L>MIN(ID1.SG1[-20],ID1.SG1[-19],ID1.SG1[-18],ID1.SG1[-17],ID1.SG1[-16],ID1.SG1[-15], ID1.SG1[-14],ID1.SG1[-13],ID1.SG1[-12],ID1.SG1[-11],ID1.SG1[-10], ID1.SG1[-9],ID1.SG1[-8],ID1.SG1[-7],ID1.SG1[-6],ID1.SG1[-5], ID1.SG1[-4],ID1.SG1[-3],ID1.SG1[-2],ID1.SG1[-1],ID1.SG1) The MIN and MAX functions in Simple Alerts do not do ranges.

OK, but this refers only to he current bar low, right? I need to check if the low of the bar X bars back was above ID1.SG[-X]. So it seems like I have to use my text above, which unfortunately does not fit in the alert field.

Ranges of Subgraph values and main price graph values will be supported in an upcoming release.

In that case, because of the 375 character limit of Simple Alerts, you'll need to use a spreadsheet study with a formula like this: =AND(D23>ID1.SG1@23,D22>ID1.SG1@22,D21>ID1.SG1@21,D20>ID1.SG1@20,D19>ID1.SG1@19,D18>ID1.SG1@18,D17>ID1.SG1@17,D16>ID1.SG1@16,D15>ID1.SG1@15,D14>ID1.SG1@14,D13>ID1.SG1@13,D12>ID1.SG1@12,D11>ID1.SG1@11,D10>ID1.SG1@10,D9>ID1.SG1@9,D8>ID1.SG1@8,D7>ID1.SG1@7,D6>ID1.SG1@6,D5>ID1.SG1@5,D4>ID1.SG1@4,D3>ID1.SG1@3) To copy, triple click to highlight all of it. (Or you could use 20+ spreadsheet columns, each with shorter formulas.)
