    Try that. The timeframe modifier ("monthly") needs to modify the sma function, too.

    I don't think this requirement is in the documentation, although it should be (maybe it is, I can't find it easily).

    So, if you use a function in a time frame other than "daily" , which is the default, you have to use the time frame modifier in front of the function *AND* in front of any terms INSIDE the function.

    So, if you wanted to rewrite your condition for weekly, it would be

    and [weekly volume > weekly sma(9, weekly volume) * 1.5]
