Post From: Looking for a Simple Formula in an Alert that

While I'm always grateful for help from the ever-generous Tom Gilb, I'm afraid either my question exceeds the information contained in Tom's link, or I'm not smart enough to interpret what's right in front of me.

My alerts all currently use referenced previous bars and I'm comfortable with that information. I'm looking for more. The Oliver Twist of SierraChart.

For example: Let's say H>ID1.SG3[-2] triggers an alert. Let's also say the same formula on the next bar triggers the same alert. I don't want either the visual or auditory signal the second time. If I do or don't act on the first alert, I don't need to be distracted on the next bar or the one after that.

I'd like a formula that says: If the Alert was triggered on the Previous Bar and Conditions are True for the Alert on the Current Bar, I don't want the Alert on the Current Bar because I got it on the Previous Bar. Have I over-complicated the question?

Thanks
JD
