Outside Bar High/Low

[offshore]

Hey So I have some code to indicate Outside bars but i wanted to add a little caveat to the code. If the high above the prior bar is greater than the low below the prior bar the boolean arrow indicator is green regardless if the bar is bull or bear. If the low below the prior bar is greater than the high above the prior bar, the boolean arrow is colored red regardless if the bar is bull or bear. if the high and low above and below the prior bar are the same, the arrow is colored grey. Any help would be fantastic... Thanks

plot Bullish = high >= high[1] and
low <= low[1] and
close > open;
Bullish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Boolean_Arrow_Up);
Bullish.SetDefaultColor(Color.Green);
Bullish.setLineWeight(3);

plot Bearish = high >= high[1] and
low <= low[1] and
close < open;
Bearish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Boolean_Arrow_Down);
Bearish.SetDefaultColor(Color.Red);
Bearish.setLineWeight(3);
Alert(Bullish, "1", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
Alert(Bearish, "1", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);

I have a simple indicator for an inside bar with an alert in the code. The only problem is basically every bar that opens is an inside bar so my alert goes off on every bar. I was wondering if I could add something to the code to get the alert as well as the boolean indicator to print after the bar closes?

heres the code:

plot Bullish = high <= high[1] and
low >= low[1] and
close <= open;
Bullish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
Bullish.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
Bullish.SetLineWeight(3);

plot Bearish = high <= high[1] and
low >= low[1] and
close >= open;
Bearish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
Bearish.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
Bearish.SetLineWeight(3);

Alert(Bullish, "1", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
Alert(Bearish, "1", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);

Alert(Bullish, "1", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
Alert(Bearish, "1", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);

This may help

low >= low[1] and
close <= open;
Bullish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);

Bullish.SetLineWeight(3);

Bearish.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
Bearish.SetLineWeight(3);

Alert(Bullish[1], "Bullish", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
Alert(Bearish[1], "Bearish", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);

Hey thanks a lot @SleepyZ .... is there any way I can add the caveat to this set ouf code for the outside bars?
