Post From: Alert more than once per bar

It is hard for us to know what the problem is because we do not understand the formula or see all of it and actually see it visually working with the data in the chart and see its results.

From here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php#AlertOptions

It says:

Alert Only Once Per Bar

When the Alert Only Once Per Bar option is enabled, then when the Alert Condition Formula becomes TRUE, goes back to FALSE and becomes TRUE more than once when a bar is forming, only one alert signal will be given.

Even when this option is disabled, if an Alert Condition Formula becomes TRUE and remains TRUE during the formation of a bar, then there will only be one alert signal given.
