Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to use "Custom Output Value When True" to be the equivalent of h[-1]+ 1.00, which would allow me to place a star, dot, whatever, 1 point above the high of the previous bar. Is this possible to do using color bar based on alert condition? Thanks!

Not with CBBOAC, but you can use Spreadsheet Formula study with =h[-1] as the formula to plot the high 1 bar ago. Use Study Subgraph Add on the Spreadsheet Formula study to add 1 to it.

Use the Spreadsheet Formula study with this formula in its Formula field: =H[-1]+1

Actually, this. didn't work. I'm able to get the value of the high of previous bar, but I'm unable to plot above it. Using a Displacement of -1, I'm able to get the value displayed on the prior bar, but using offset, I'm unable to get that value displayed X ticks above that bar. Regardless of onset, it displays on the high of the previous bar.

The attached pic uses this formula, =H[-1]+1, with a Displacement of -1 This plots a line 1 point above the previous High. Use this formula to reference ticks instead: =H[-1]+TICKSIZE*4

Circling back to say thanks, Sawtooth! This is working as desired.
