If this is being added to the Swing High and Low study, then SG3 does not do what you think it does. That subgraph is there just to define the colors and thickness of the extension lines, it does not hold any information, so you can not use it in an Alert.

Additionally, the subgraphs for the actual Swing High and Swing Low are only "true" (have a value) at the bar on which the arrow is displayed. Every other bar has a value of 0.

For what you are doing, you would need to use the Spreadsheet Study and first create a set of lines for each of the Swings in order to be able to test against them. Then you could create the alert to see if the Current Price Line crosses one of the lines.

Refer to the following:
