Volume alert

[Russell]

I have a ma of volume - can I put an alert when volume on a bar exceeds twice the average. Visual and audible please.
I can't seem to sort out the if function for this.

Try the attached
The efs was created using the Wizard which can be also used to edit it.

NOTE: The efs has been replaced after the error mentioned in the message above was reported

Wow that was quick - thank you.
The wizard did get it wrong however - I had to correct line 48!

Hello Russell,

Actually that was not the Wizard's fault but mine.
I had initially used a 10 period MA for the volume which is why it was labeled as SMA10. At the time of posting I noticed you had a 5 period MA so I changed the length of the MA and forgot to edit the condition line.
I have now replaced the original attachment

Can I hide the volume histogram?

If you mean permanently yes you can. Open the efs with the Formula Wizard. Then go to the top in the Formula Configuration and click the Edit button there.
This will open a window where you select if the study is going to be a price study or not. Non price study should be highlighted.
Go down to the two lines to be plotted (ie the Returned Data Points) and X out the one relating to the volume histogram.
Click OK and then Save the efs.

I must have mucked up somewhere - it doesn't now plot the histogram (which is great) but the ma seems to just follow the tops of the bars?
Also I notice it is not calculating on close of bar which is important.
I attach my fouled up efs!

Here it is fixed and only showing the MA.
If you do want to show the volume histogram again just substitute the null in the return new Array with volume()
