Post From: Alert condition for tick charts

You can not do the alert based on the Countdown Timer. The Countdown Timer does not output the remaining trades in a bar.

But, you can use the Spreadsheet Formula in combination with the Main Price Graph data for the Number of Trades to do what you want.

In the Spreadsheet Formula, you would enter the following formula:
=2000 - ID0.SG5

ID0 is the Main Price Graph and SG5 is the # of Trades. So this will give you the remaining number of trades for a bar.

Then to get the alert, just set it up on the Alert tab of the Spreadsheet Formula and enter the following alert condition:
= ID1 < 500

You will also want to enable the option for "Only Alert Once per Bar" or you will get an alert for every update once the number of trades is less than 500.

Refer to the following for the Spreadsheet Formula study:
