Post From: Continuous scanning ignoring 'Alert Only Once per Bar'

Hello, As per the Title, I have a simple alert on a study with the Alert Only Once per Bar option selected. When enabling the alert just for one symbol it works as expected alerting only once per bar. However when I use continuous scanning with the chart's associated watchlist it is repeatedly alerting on the same bar, and in fact even ignores the TRUE->FALSE->TRUE requirement for alerting, continuously alerting even if the condition is a repeated TRUE. Is this intended behavior or is there a way I'm unaware of to prevent this? I am guessing that since continuous scanning flips through charts, the study is recalculating on each load hence causing the alert to fire repeatedly? I can use ACSIL to create a custom alert to accomplish what I'd like but it would be a lot easier if the simple study alert way worked. Appreciate your input. Cheers |
