Dcoument "bugs"

See the document "bugs" below. Please fix it.

Multiple Color Conditions
Conditions are evaluated from top to bottom.


Assume you have the following conditions defined:


Change color if value is greater than 30
Change color if value is greater than 100


In this example, if the value of the cell was greater than 100, the first condition of "greater than 30" would change the cell's color since its first in the list of conditions to be evaluated. The "greater than 100" condition would never trigger in this example since "greater than 30" will always trigger the color change first. To ensure that both conditions trigger a color change so that you get the desired alerting behavior you want, you have to list the conditions in this order:


Alert if value is greater than 100
Alert if value is greater than 30


This will guarantee that a cell value over 100 will fall in the "greater than 100" condition and cell values between 30 and 100 will be triggered by the "greater than 30" condition.

Hello Profitmake,

I tested such color conditions on my end, however it worked as expected, see screenshot.

Can you please let me know what outcome you experience on your end when you make use of multiple color conditions.

Sorry that I doesn't express myself clearly last time.

I simply want to point out some documentary mistakes on your guide.
v6.5: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...onditions.html
v7: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._and_filte.htm

The original document says:

Alert if value is greater than 100
Alert if value is greater than 30


This will guarantee that a cell value over 100 will fall in the "greater than 100" condition and cell values between 30 and 100 will be triggered by the "greater than 30" condition.

The red part is wrong. It should be:

Change color if value is greater than 100
Change color if value is greater than 30


This will guarantee that a cell value over 100 will fall in the "greater than 100" condition and cell values between 30 and 100 will be triggered by the "greater than 30" condition.

Hi Profitmake,

The version 6.5 Help Guide article you linked to relates to color conditions.

The version 7 Help Guide article you linked to relates to alert conditions.

In the version 7 Help Guide, the corresponding article to version 6.5's color conditions article would be Cell Conditions.

No. The version 7 you grouped alert, cell and filter conditions together so they are all on the same page. Search for "Understanding cell conditions" and expand it. You will see:

Multiple Cell Conditions
Cell Conditions are evaluated from top to bottom.

Assume you have the following conditions defined:

Change cell if value is greater than 30
Change cell if value is greater than 100

In this example, if the value of the cell was greater than 100, the first condition of "greater than 30" would change the cell's color since its first in the list of conditions to be evaluated. The "greater than 100" condition would never trigger in this example since "greater than 30" will always trigger the color change first. To ensure that both conditions trigger a color change so that you get the desired alerting behavior you want, you have to list the conditions in this order:

Alert if value is greater than 100
Alert if value is greater than 30

This will guarantee that a cell value over 100 will fall in the "greater than 100" condition and cell values between 30 and 100 will be triggered by the "greater than 30" condition.

I believe you are meant to say "change cell if" rather than "alert if". "Alert if" doesn't make sense here since cell conditions are not for alerts.
