Hi, I add a stochastic crossover alert to my ES and NQ charts in the study/alerts =CROSSOVER(SG1,SG2) and the arrows show on the charts I enabled the alert sound which plays ok in the settings but no alerts are showing in the alert manager
log I adder the formula =CROSSOVER(SG1,SG2) to the alerts settings Likely some minor mistake. alert enabled on study.

Given how the Stochastic Crossover system works, you would never get a Crossover occurring between the two subgraphs. Refer to the information for this study here:
Stochastic Crossover System

The arrows you are seeing are from the subgraphs, not from the alert. So you are simply not getting an alert.

If you are wanting an alert when the study gives you an arrow, then your Alert Formula would be the following:
=OR(SG1, SG2)

Then whenever either subgraph is non-zero (which is when an arrow is drawn) then you will get an alert sound.

That works Can I replace that with two alerts and enable each with a different sound?
=OR(CROSSFROMABOVE(SG1,SG2) =CROSSFROMBELOW(SG1,SG2) or is a separate study have to be added?

You can add the other alert to the "Chart Settings" window. There is an option to enter an alert there.

Just keep in mind that since it is not on the study itself, you will have to reference the study, so your alert formula will look like the following:
=ID1.SG1

Where the 1 in ID1 is the study ID and SG1 is subgraph 1 of that study. Refer to the following and the section below it:

Sorry still a bit confused on this I added a second Stocastics crossover indicator have one set to =OR(CROSSFROMABOVE(SG1,SG2) =OR(CROSSFROMBELOW(SG1,SG2)

what do I put in the chart/setting input condition field so both studies are included as alerts and how to include both buy and sell sounds?

What are the ID numbers of the those stochastic crossover studies?

Refer to:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing Other Studies on the Chart

This will not be possible if there is a single alert condition on the Chart Settings window:

and how to include both buy and sell sounds?

First of all, as noted in post #2, the CROSSFROMABOVE/CROSSFROMBELOW will not work. You just need to reference the subgraph itself.

Second, you would have one alert on the Stochastic Crossover study with one Alert Sound, and the other alert in the Chart Settings Alert with a different sound. This will give you 2 different alerts with different sounds.

Ok, Appreciate your patience --I am working on the correct formula trying this in seperate studiess not sure if it is correct
=OR(CROSSFROMABOVE(ID8.SG1,SG2)) =OR(CROSSFROMBELOW(ID7.SG1,SG2)) with the same in the settings/alert/condition box but am getting forula error message in log

The Alert conditions you need are the following:
=ID1.SG1

=ID1.SG2

Where ID1 is the ID of the Stochastic Crossover function and SG1 and SG2 are the Buy and Sell subgraphs respectively. Do not use the CROSSFROMABOVE or CROSSFROMBELOW functions, they do not work in this case.

Enter one of these alerts in the Alert section for the Stochastic Crossover Study, and enter one in the Alert section for the "Chart Settings". Make sure each one uses a different Alert Sound so you can differentiate them. Then when a new bar meets the Stochastic Crossover conditions and prints either an Up Arrow or a Down Arrow, you will also get an audible alert.

That does it I have the chart settings/alert set to NQ alert, ES alert, RTY alert just after
that the sell/buy sound is heard for ES NQ RTY .. Thanks for your help much appreciated.
