Text Alert on bar close colour change

[Douglee]

Hello, the title says it all, I’m looking to get a text message when a bar closes a different colour. I use a high tick reversal unirenko bars, I get a colour change every couple hours. Is this possible at all? Thanks!

Hello Douglee,

To do this you would need to figure out what price condition you wanted to track for the alert, color change is not something you can detect from alerts or NinjaScript. By color change do you mean when the bars go from red to green?

Yes when bars close higher or lower than the last, is that a condition that can be used? See attached picture that’ll help you understand forsure what I’m looking for

Hello Douglee,

You could compare the close prices, for example if the current close is less than the previous close. To know if there was a reversal in a trend you would need multiple price conditions to check that the close price has been closing higher than each previous bar and then the current bar closed lower than the previous bar.

A very simple example would be to check:
Close[0] < Close[1]
Close[1] > Close[2]
Close[2] > Close[3]

That would check that there were 2 bars rising and then 1 bar falling in a row, you could expand this to account for however many bars you wanted to have in a row before a reversal.
