On my "Color bar based on alert condition" study, I want to have either condition be true, but not both at the same time: 1. Divergence detector has an up arrow on the current bar and Heiken-Ashi bar is green 2. Divergence detector has an up arrow on the current bar and Heiken-Ashi bar is a very skinny doji with just a small amount of body. This is what I have and I think it's wrong because I keep getting alerted on bars that are not doji at all: =OR(AND(ID27.SG4>0,ID18.SG4>ID18.SG4[-1]), AND(ID27.SG4>0),(ABS(ID18.SG1[-1] - ID18.SG4[-1]) / (ID18.SG2[-1] - ID18.SG3[-1]) <.50))
ID27.SG4 = divergence detector up arrow ID18.SG1 = Heiken Ashi Open ID18.SG2 = Heiken Ashi High ID18.SG3 = Heiken Ashi Low ID18.SG4 = Heiken Ashi Close |

You're looking for an XOR operator, which I don't see available in Sierra Chart's formulas. You can do some research on XOR to learn how it's constructed, and from that you can troubleshoot your formula. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_gate |

Sorry, now that I think of it. If they are both true at the same time, then that's fine. Do I still need an XOR for that?

As was mentioned by @emmanuel, you are looking for Exclusive OR (XOR: either is true, but not both). XOR(a,b) = (a && !b) || (!a && b)
1. Divergence detector has an up arrow on the current bar and Heiken-Ashi bar is green
a = AND(ID27.SG4>0,!(ID18.SG4>ID18.SG1))
2. Divergence detector has an up arrow on the current bar and Heiken-Ashi bar is a very skinny doji with just a small amount of body.
Since this cannot be a Green Bar, the Doji is either Open=Close, or Open>Close. b = AND(!(ID27.SG4>0, ID18.SG4<=ID18.SG1)),(ABS(ID18.SG1 - ID18.SG4 <.50))

Here's another example: Need a alternative for =XOR |
