send alert when high of the current bar is higher than the high of the previous bar

[gordongekko]

I want the alert to go out before the bar closes. I just need the code for "if current bar's high goes higher than the price of the previous bar while the bar is still forming" I'm assuming if I use calculate on bar close it wont work as intended.

Hello gordongekko,

Thanks for your question.

The Strategy Wizard can be used to create the logic desired, and the syntax can be seen with View Code. You are correct that this would need to be run with CalculalateOnBarClose = false to have OnBarUpdate() iterate with each tick that develops the bar.

I've attached a screenshot of the Strategy Wizard with the condition put together.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
