Input for Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

View Count: 300

Hello, I want to have price bars colored when price is positive, and the study "ask/bid volume difference bars" is negative. And vice versa. I'm using the "color bar based on alert condition", but can't seem to get it working completely. It seems to work for some bars, but not all of them. The input I have is: AND(C-O> 0,ID9.SG1< 0)

The ask/bid volume difference study is ID9.

Please advise on how to correct this. Thanks

The Ask/Bid Volume Difference Bars display as bars, therefore there is an Open/Close/High/Low associated with them. SG1 for the study is the Open. The open is always 0, so you should never get a positive result to your alert condition.

If you are wanting the full Bar difference then you would need to use ID9.SG4, which is the close of the bar.

Is there a link to where I can see all of the different meanings of these inputs? I didn't know thats what SG1 meant and want to learn the other ones too.
