Hello, im looking to color certain candles, based off the color bar based on alert condition study in conjunction with the numbers bars calculated values study, I dont have any trouble setting a simple alert condition, an example of an alert condition would be id2.sg4<3. The trouble im running into is that some of these contain negative numbers, so the example i just posted would be turning all of the negative values to my selected bar color, which is not what i want. So for the example i posted sg4<3, is there a way to do this while ignoring the negative values? so anything over zero or 1 but under 3 would be shown? hope this makes sense, thanks ahead of time

Use the AND() function to make your test only for positive values. So your condition would be the following:
=AND(ID2.SG4 < 3, ID2.SG4 > 0)

=AND(ID2.SG4 < 3, ID2.SG4 > 0) Thanks John this worked great. Only issue Im having is that I tried to change the ID2.SG4 > 0 to a ID2.SG4 < 0 in the hopes of testing only for negative values, but i was unsuccessful.

So you had the following condition?
=AND(ID2.SG4 < 3, ID2.SG4 < 0)

This should work, it is a bit overkill, as you could just have the following:
=ID2.SG4 < 0

If this is not working, let us know.
