Hi there I have set my countdown timer alert 'Alert on new bar' to Yes then on Alerts --- Alert Condition: =SG1 <=10. 'Enabled' and 'Alert Only Once per New Bar' are both ticked but No sound goes off at all. Should it work even on replay mode too? Many thanks |

The CountDown Timer study does not output any value in SG1, so you cannot reference it for an alert. If you want an alert just before a new bar, here is a custom spreadsheet study that does it: https://www.sawtoothtrade.com/free-stuff-11.html Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-01-29 16:02:43

I hate to disagree with you Sawtooth, but you can alert on SG1 of the Countdown Timer. We even have documentation for this here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=201#Examples_AlertWhenBarWithinTime The important thing is to have the Input for "Display Remaining Time as Seconds Only", then the data is directly accessible.

Oops, I missed that detail.

Support, does putting the value into SG1 depend upon the chart being a time-based chart? I have a non-time based chart I'd like to get the remaining value for. Setting "display value only" and/or "display remaining time as seconds only" didn't allow me to read it into SG1. I can however use "TextDisplay for Study" to grab the SG1 value, as a text string for display. I'm not sure how to convert that string back into a number value for a simple alert. I tried this within a spreadsheet formula: =VALUE(TEXT(ID128.SG1,"0")) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-03-31 22:45:35
