Hi guys,

Noob asking for simple alert formula help.

Say if I want to find out the largest green candle over the last 30 green candles (ignore red candles), what would be the alert formula please? Thank you.

Best,
AJ

Try this:

1. Add the Spreadsheet Formula study, Hide the study, set 'Draw Zero Values' to No, and put this formula in the Formula field:
=IF(C>O,H-L,0)
This returns the value of each green bar's range.

2. Add the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, and use a formula like this on the the Alerts tab:
=MAX(ID2.SG1[0:-30])=H-L
where the Spreadsheet Formula study is ID2. Edit the ID# as needed.

Here's the relevant documentation:
