Pablo Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Hello, I want to have a condition where an alert is triggered if the latest bar crosses one of these previous week levels (as mentioned in the title). Unfortunately, I don't know how to reference these levels. I tried using the volume by price indicator (set the range to 100% for getting the high and the low in addition to mid) and set the period to week. It works for the charts but in the scan rule editor, there is no offset/lookback by a certain period, only by bar. I think setting the bar period to week is not suitable because the scan should be done on an intraday basis. I also messed around with the horizontal line indicator. Didn't get it but I am pretty sure there must be a way to have this done. Is there anyone who can show me? Regards Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 assuming the only thing you want is alerts mentioned and not referencing other intraday data, then you can set the scan to be on ONE DAY frequency HISTORICAL chart, and reference Horizontal Line set to Weekly and value set to Prev. Period High (and low, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Hi, thanks for your answer. In a second step, I want to adress the intraday data regarding "Better Volume", so do I have to do another workaround then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Then an intraday scan with a "Better Volume" indicator is in order. You cannot put two scans - historical *and* intraday on one portfolio. But you can duplicate the portfolio, with the same source, and run one scan on one portfolio and the other on the other.

Pablo Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Isn't it possible to just define the previous weeks high/low in a custom made variable in order to put it together with other stuff later on? Correct me if I am wrong but I was thinking that this one is already close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 we cannot preset it, but we are looking at something that would let you set variables in a Paintbar that would then be accessible in a Hotkey. At least for chart trading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted April 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate your support.. Just to remain with a final thought, an addition to the Historical Line (intraday) indicator such as "Previous day VWAP" and "Previous week VWAP" would be highly awesome. Cheers, have a good week!

Jerry Medved Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Previous day would just be [1] on the the reference to the H. Line indicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
