Post From: Study Alert - reset

Hi,

I created a simple Study Alert on a hourly chart that is triggering every hour but not getting reset.

code is simple - SG! > 0 on a MACD

I have the following setting:

- Reset Alert Condition on New bar
- Alert only once per bar
- Evaluate on Bar close

Since I have the "Reset Alert Condition on New bar" my expectation is that with the next bar, the triggered alert must get extinguished. I read the documentation again and it is confusing. If this is not expected behavior then please answer the following qn -

1) How do I get the alerts to be shown/sent to email only the first time, not every time a new bar continues to evaluate the condition to be true. Realistically this can be annoying since the true condition can last for 100 bars and I sure don't want 100 emails or 100 SMSs.

Above is the snippet from Alert log. It shows similar message every hour.

Thanks
