Post From: Capture Chart Image on Trade Order Event (for Alert 1)

We are not sure why it takes an image of that Trading DOM. We will have to look into what it is going to take an image of when a global item like "Play Alert when Order is Filled" is used. It is probably capturing the chart on which the order was originally placed.

Therefore, you would need to find a workaround. For instance, if you want a certain chart image, then you could use the "Trading: Position Quantity" study on that chart and check if there has been a decrease in the quantity to know that a trade has been closed. The alert condition in this case would look like the following:
=SG1 < SG1[-1]

Where SG1 is the Quantity subgraph of the study.

You could even hide the "Trading: Position Quantity" study if you do not want to see it on the chart.

You would then assign the alert that has the option to capture the screen to that study.
