[Programming Help] - Applying "Swing High And Low" to the Volume study

I'm trying to plot a point above each volume bar that's a "pivot", meaning, the volume bar is higher than "X" volume bars to the left and right of the bar. Changing "Based On" to the Volume study didn't work. Any other ideas of how to make it work?

The Swing High and Low study is going to require open, high, low, close data. If you want to use the Volume study you have to develop your own custom study.

You can do it with the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, using a formula like this on its Alerts tab: =V>MAX(V[-1:-10]) Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing A Range of Data To plot a point above each volume bar, follow these instructions: Color Bar Based on Alert Condition: Coloring Subgraphs of Other Studies

That's an original angle for a solution but this formula only tests the bars on the left, not on the right as well.

OK, now I'm impressed! Worked like a charm... I didn't know formulas could do that, thanks!
