Creating An Alert From Numbers Bars - Highlight NonZero Bid & Ask Volume at High/Low

I am using the Numbers Bars study and selecting the input "Highlight Nonzero Bid&Ask Volume at High/Low" for Column 1 (see attached image). I am trying to create an alert by combining this study with another study by using the highlighted high (or low) within the Numbers Bars study. However, when I create an alert spreadsheet so that I can use the Numbers Bars study information within an my alert formula, I do not see any data within the spreadsheet columns for the Numbers Bars study (i.e., [ID1.SG3] Nonzero Bid&Ask Vol at High/Low Highlight & Extension Lines"). I can not create an alert within the alert spreadsheet...see attached image.

Is there a way I can create an alert when the Numbers Bars study shows a highlight at the high (or low) for the nonzero bid&ask? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you...

You can do this with Simple Alerts by accessing the Volume at Price data at the top and the bottom of the chart bar. Refer to:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning

The functions for these are documented here:

Hi I have a very similar request, I'm would like a simple point or dot above the high or below the low of a bar with Nonzero Bid or Ask volume at high/ low. I have these highlighted on my number bars chart but would like these alerts on my other basic charts, please see image for exactly what I mean.

Thanks

We have put together a Study Collection that does this. It is just 2 different Color Bar on Alert Condition studies, one to test for the Non-Zero Bid and Ask at the High and another to test for the Non-Zero Bid and Ask at the Low. You do not need the Numbers Bars study to make this work, just apply the study collection to your standard bar chart.

The study collection can be found here:

Here are the instructions for how to apply the Study Collection to your chart:
