This formula:
=OR(
AND(V > ID20.SG1, V >= 1.5 * AVERAGE(V[-1], V[-2], V[-3])),
AND(V > V[-1], V[-1] > ID20.SG1[-1], V[-1] >= 1.5 * AVERAGE(V[-2], V[-3], V[-4]))
)

Does not mean ""Volume is more than 20SMA and Average of previous 3 candles OR Volume more than previous candle which fulfills the condition I just said)".

You have two ANDs, which are nested into an OR, which does separate out the two conditions, so either AND() condition could be true. But the second AND() condition checks that the volume of the current bar is greater than the volume of the previous bar AND the volume of the previous bar is greater than ID20.SG1, AND the volume of the previous bar is greater than or equal to 1.5 times the average of the volumes from the bars 2, 3 and 4 back from the current bar.

Make sure your conditions are actually being met, as there is no condition in what you have that checks just that the SMA is greater than the volume of a bar.
