Hi, How do I configure and alert condition for up and down arrows that are in Subgraphs?

No the link does not help. I have not seen an example how to set an alert for up and down arrows that are populated form the subgraph.

Thank you

You just need to check in the formula that the referenced Study Subgraph is a value other than zero. Refer to:

I still do not see instructions how to create an alert for Bullish or Bearish signal SG1/SG2 in the subgraph menu.

We cannot say for sure because we cannot see the output of that study, but most likely you would just simply use a Simple Alert Formula for the study like this:

=SG1 <> 0

I added =SG1<>0.=SG2<>2

I will not know until Monday if this works or does not work. If it doesn't, how can I get you an output of the study?

Thank you

Regrettably your suggestion did not work as there was an arrow just posted on my chart without an alert and nothing in the Alert Manager as well. What would you suggest I do now?

Tank you.

I added =SG1<>0.=SG2<>2

This code shouldn't work as you have it written. Both conditions can't be true at the same time (as well as the formula syntax is incorrect) I would assume as you want a Bullish OR a Bearish candle depending on the conditions. Try just half the condition as Engineering suggested to see if it works in your study as you hope:

=SG1<>0

(Buy Signal is Not Equal to Zero)

If this works then you can add the other condition with an OR operator like so:

=OR(SG1<>0,SG2<>0)

(Buy Signal is NOT equal to Zero OR Sell Signal is NOT Equal to Zero)

This will return one or the other as true, but not both.

I'm not sure where you got =SG2<>2 from instead of =SG2<>0 ? If you're confident that you need 2 then replace the second 0 in my suggestion.

If neither of these work then the output from your study is different than what is expected. Also, you don't have to wait until Sunday night to test these, you can simply Replay today or an earlier date to see if this code works for you.

Hi Scott,

Your suggestion worked through the replay mode so I expect it will work.

Thank you
