Hello Support,

Would it be possible to re-order the columns in the Alert Manager?

I place the alert manager in the middle of my screen so I can see (and hear) all the alerts in real time -> http://screencast.com/t/eJzSAMWEtDe9

However, the symbol names are different lengths which makes the Study: STUDYNAME detail show up "misaligned" and sometimes I cannot see the study being triggered. http://screencast.com/t/mg5MrJs4

Specifically, I would like to have "Study: Studyname" printed first in the alert manager followed by "Alert - Chart:". The chart name is not important because double-clicking anywhere takes us to that chart.

By the way, I'm delivering the 2nd presentation of many called "Robots - Automate Your Trading Ideas With Sierra Chart" http://meetu.ps/2mvwNj because the first presentation was a big hit.

Thanks for a great trading platform.

Excellent. I like the way the columns can be re-ordered in the Trade Activity Log. If the Alert Manager columns for Chart: and Study: could be re-ordered the same way, that would do it.

New question: I have created a study that is working perfectly by coloring the chart background. The side effect has been that it overwhelms the Alert Manager with too many alerts because it is on a very small timeframe with lots of triggers.

Is it possible to enable/disable the printing of an entry in the alert log on a per-study basis at this time?

btw> we've got another class lined up as it has generated a lot of interest :)

We are going to make the Chart and Study new columns in the Alerts Log.

There is no way to prevent adding an Alert Message to the Alerts Log when a study alert becomes true. From our perspective it is important that all alerts get logged.

In ver 1195, there will be a new column in the Alert Log which will show the Alert Source. In your case, the study name would be listed. The column order can also be changed by dragging the column headers.
