Using to test trading ideas, for example with color background based on simple alert, its OK if you have like 1-2 days loaded into the chart. But when using small periodicity and lots of data its impossible to do it visually. An alert study doesn't output to the message log upon loading or re-calculating the chart... to do that we need to replay the chart or to do a bar back test. Problem is with small periodicity and lots of data even bar back testing is very very very slow. How come a study calculates very fast and a bar back test is way way too slow for the same job? 1. Can you add an option to the alert tab so alerts will be logged upon loading or re-calc? obviously the study is checking the alert query and marking the chart, just not logging it. 2. I wrote a study in ACSIL to do this, and it works fine, but the problem is all the alerts are tagged with the current system date time and not the bar DateTime. so double clicking on the log doesn't jump/scroll the chart.
