Color Bar Based on Alert Condition - Slope Question

I am using this formula: =OR(AND(ID1.SG1[0] > ID1.SG1[-1],ID1.SG1[-1] < ID1.SG1[-2]),AND(ID1.SG1[0] < ID1.SG1[-1],ID1.SG1[-1] > ID1.SG1[-2]))

Which is derived from this page (I added ID1. in front of all instances of SG1, that was the only change): Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Alert Formula Examples

I also added the Auto-Coloring Based on Slope.

In the image linked, you can see places where the slope changes and therefore the line changes color, but I don't get the blue point which is my output for the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition Study: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1509449840181.png

I am looking for a way to get a visual notification in the form of an arrow or point whenever the slope changes (not just the line coloring). Any ideas?

One thing to check is the Value Format setting for the study with ID1. Refer to:

OK I changed the value format to .00000001 and still there are obvious changes in slope that are not being marked. Attached is an example with a black arrow.

infpz,
On your alerts tab click on the check box named:
Use Full Precision When Evaluating Alert Formula

OK, but on what study did you change this:
OK I changed the value format to .00000001

I did this on the color bar studies - I see by removing that, and doing it on the moving average - it seems to be working without the precision option selected. Thanks all. PZ

Yes. That is what you need to do.
