Hello Support, Is there a way to reference a symbol name in an Alert Condition? For example: =or ( and(Symbol=CLM5-NYMEX,H[-3]-L>0.15), and(Symbol=YMM5-CBOT,H[-3]-L>15.0) ) I'd like to use 1 Chartbook and switch between symbols using the Quote Board. Thank you. |

I switch between symbols using the watchlist. Are symbols within alerts still not supported? If not, is there any workaround that achieve a similar result? The alert condition in the chart settings do not seam to support references to studies? Is the only way to achieve this to code the alert in C++? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thx!! |

It's doable via simple alerts with a little bit of planning and hardcoding. Here's what I have done: 1) Assign a numeric value to each symbol in your watch list. example: 1 for NQ, 2 for ES etc 2) Add a new line study (say ID1.SG1) with a value of nn associated your symbol's numeric value. pro tip: 1) You can use a line study to act as a "input" parameter to your entire study collection. 2) you could use some value like 999 to ignore symbol i.e apply logic to all symbols or 0 to ignore it completely 3) In your alert condition, hardcode logic pertaining to each symbol. See example below OR( AND(ID1.SG1=1,"add conditional logic specific to NQ here"), AND(ID1.SG1=2,"add conditional logic specific to ES here"), AND(...) ) Hope this helps.
