Do you know what formula I put in the Alerts dialogue box so an alarm is sounded each time one of these arrows displays? It is the MACD Crossover indicator that is standard in SC. Thanks, PZ

Try this: OR(SG1>0,SG2>0)

OR(CROSSOVER(SG1,SG2),CROSSOVER(SG1,SG3)) This will alert when the RSI crosses either of the overbought/oversold lines, in either direction. Use the CROSSFROMBELOW and CROSSFROMABOVE functions to differentiate direction.

How about something more complicated, like this? There are 19 pivots points on the daily chart. I want to be alerted every time one is touched. =lastprice = SG1 OR SG2 OR SG3 … OR SG19

Use this: =OR(LASTTRADE=SG1,LASTTRADE=SG2,LASTTRADE=SG3,LASTTRADE=SG4,LASTTRADE=SG5, LASTTRADE=SG6,LASTTRADE=SG7,LASTTRADE=SG8,LASTTRADE=SG9,LASTTRADE=SG10,LASTTRADE=SG11, LASTTRADE=SG12,LASTTRADE=SG13,LASTTRADE=SG14,LASTTRADE=SG15,LASTTRADE=SG16,LASTTRADE=SG17, LASTTRADE=SG18,LASTTRADE=SG19) Some symbols have floating point errors in their price so '=' is not always 'equal', so you may not always get an alert. If this is the case for you, the Simple Alert formula becomes unwieldy and you'll need to use the Spreadsheet System/Alert study. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-10-02 16:34:40
