I'm using the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study to fire an alert when a set of conditions are true. The alert tends to fire frequently and I would like to only allow it to fire 1 time in every 15 minute interval. Is it possible to set the frequency of an alert from the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study for every x minutes? Thanks, Jackson |

There is not a way to do this directly within the study or by using the alerts. You might be able to do this using the Spreadsheet study to give you a switch that you can reference, but you would have to be careful about either a race condition or a circular reference.

Is the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study code available in the Sierra Chart directory? Would preventing an alert from firing more than once per x minutes be possible using a custom ASCIL study? I was thinking about adding additional functionality to the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study and creating a custom study that allows throttling the alert. Jackson |

The "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study source code is NOT available. But a custom study would allow you to do what you want, as it can keep track of the information you need through a persistent variable.
