Hi everyone I am not very familiar with tradestation easy language, I got a indicator I like on this website. i think it was walter that led me to it or tams. Forgive me if I have got the person wrong. I would like to add a alert when a quick increase or decrease happens. or even if a level is hit. so i know. Thanks for all the help, here is the code. [LegacyColorValue = true]; { WAV_Vol_3 Indicator WAV 8/20/05 intended for intra-day sessions only plots histogram showing both upTicks and DownTicks for a bar in real time - the larger of the 2 is always shown on top plots volume average plots mid-point of total average as a dot } inputs: AvgLen(20), //length used in volume average UpColor(green), DnColor(red); vars: VolAvg(0), //plotted vol avg Vol(0); //intra-bar volume (ticks) //only for intra-day if BarType < 2 then begin Vol = ticks; //sum of upticks and downticks VolAvg = average(vol,AvgLen); plot1(VolAvg,"Avg Vol"); //do not change order of following //be sure both plot3 and plo4 are same width if UpTicks < DownTicks then begin plot3(UpTicks,"UpDn",UpColor); plot4(vol,"Total",DnColor); end else begin plot3(DownTicks,"UpDn",DnColor); plot4(vol,"Total",UpColor); end; //plot mid point of total ticks with a dot //dot should fit within histogram plot2(Vol/2,"Mid-Vol"); end;//if BarType

thanks very much for this!

so basically I am using the code that was made by such a kind user and very kind members. I am trying to learn tradestation easy language. I am a bit confused by this code, does it just give a green or red signal when there is a up or downtick and then plots it. Does this indicate the actual volume or just price movement?

can you guys tell me what is happening when the red line becomes dark red and the green becomes dark green?

thanks very much for the program, can someone please clarify some of the programs features. what does it mean when the alert bar changes from blue to green to red. and what does it mean when the green has gone to dark green and the red has gone to dark red.
