Hello, I need to detect when x bars, for example 3, are consecutive (it means that alle the 3 bars are same direction, bullish or bearish). This can be done with the Color bar on alert detecting or is necessary a different study, and eventually how? For example, the 3 bars indicated by the arrow in the attached image. Thank you, E |

There are a number of ways to do this, including the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition. What exactly do you want to have occur when you have this situation occur (color a bar, place a marker, sound an alert, etc.)? The general formula for testing for 3 up bars in a row would be the following: =AND(C[-2] > O[-2], C[-1] > O[-1], C > O) Where C is the Close of the bar, O is the Open of the bar and the [-2] [-1] reference the number of bars back from the current bar.

Hello, I have one more question about this topic. It is possible to measure with a study the range of the last x bars and plot the result above the last bar. What I mean is to measure this: H-L[-2] for example, and to plot this number above the last bar, and do it only when some conditions is valid. Thank you, Ervin |
