I use horizontal alert lines all the time, but the problem is the alert only triggers if I have the chart (with the alert line) open and set to the correct symbol. I trade stocks and I'm constantly flipping through charts and setting alert levels using a custom alert line hotkey. I can't keep all these windows open and I find myself missing alerts on a daily basis. The only solution I know of is to use the alert manager which does monitor price alerts in the background. However with alert manager I have to manually type in symbols and price alerts. The process is slow and I would much rather draw a line and have it automatically added to the alert manager. Would it be possible to add such a feature with a custom indicator or tool? I'd be willing to hire a developer if necessary. |

It is possible to right-click on the chart and select Add Symbol Alert. This is documented here: Alerts Manager: Symbol Alerts Would it be possible to add such a feature with a custom indicator or tool? I'd be willing to hire a developer if necessary.

Perfect! Sierra Chart never ceases to impress. I found plenty of goodies under "customise chart shortcut menu" settings.

Nick, if I understand your question correctly, you might take a look at drawing a line at the price you want to be alerted to and then add an alert to the line. When price hits the line, you get an alert.
