Help with volume indicator

New member
I'm new to coding and would appreciate some assistance. I'm trying to create an indicator that notifies me when specific volume patterns appear. I will attach images for the patterns I need alerts for. Up arrow when the last candle is green and down arrow when the last candle is red. I've been trying with no success, any guidance is appreciated.

<volume [2] > volume [1] and volume [3] < volume[2]>

your offset numbers are off by 1. the current bar is 0 , not 1


Code:

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();

def isup = close > open;
def v = volume;

def up = v[0] < v[1] and v[1] > v[2] and isup;
def dwn = v[0] < v[1] and...
