Hi, perhaps this this is the wrong place to ask, so please ignore if so, but i have a custom study set up!

I am trying to set an alert for this to send me a telegram notification for when the indicator pops up. I have been told the formulae i need to use is "when one of the line values is not 0 or null"
is it possible to tell me what i would type in with regards to the formulae sheet with regards to the alerts tab in the study settings?
thanks

Many custom studies do not output values of their signals.
To determine if they do, add the Spreadsheet Study study, and look in columns AA and above for its outputs.

really appreciate your fedback. this indicator basically determines a 5 minute wick test. this means having a 5 minute candle in red/ green with wick suggesting the direction is weak, along with the next candle closing very positive in one direction. the test then shows up in the 5 minute chart. it has values as knows how much of each candle is needed for it to show up,

i just need to know the alert condition i need to add in order for it to alert me when the indicator shows up on the 5 min candle. im pretty sure a the value is !0 which would indicate "not zero" but would i need to add anything to this or put before to reference the value?

Did you add the Spreadsheet Study study, and do as I suggested?
I can't help you without knowing exactly what that custom study outputs.

If it outputs all zeros, which I suspect, then we will need to create a formula to replicate the signal.
