Hi, I am using a chart with Number of Trades set to 2000 with the Countdown Timer study. What will be the alert condition for the Countdown Timer if I want it to trigger every time there is 500 trades left in the chart? |

You can not do the alert based on the Countdown Timer. The Countdown Timer does not output the remaining trades in a bar. But, you can use the Spreadsheet Formula in combination with the Main Price Graph data for the Number of Trades to do what you want. In the Spreadsheet Formula, you would enter the following formula: =2000 - ID0.SG5 ID0 is the Main Price Graph and SG5 is the # of Trades. So this will give you the remaining number of trades for a bar. Then to get the alert, just set it up on the Alert tab of the Spreadsheet Formula and enter the following alert condition: = ID1 < 500 You will also want to enable the option for "Only Alert Once per Bar" or you will get an alert for every update once the number of trades is less than 500.
