Since a simple alert formula can only return a TRUE or FALSE, you'd have to compare the highest high to something. This example formula returns whether the Close is higher than the highest high of the previous 6 highs. (Ranges cannot be used in simple alert formulas.) =C>MAX(H[-1],H[-2],H[-3],H[-4],H[-5],H[-6]) |

Here are the available simple alert Identifiers: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_AlertCondAndScan.html#BaseGraphIdentifiers Specifically, what are the conditions of the alert? Do you want to find the highest of each bar's HL average for the previous 6 bars? And what do you want to compare it to? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-10-31 17:20:16
