I'm looking to be alerted to criteria that only trigger when a certain amount of time is remaining in the bar. For instance if I have criteria in my alert, and I have the alert study on a 15 minute chart I only want the alert to fire if there is 5 minutes or less remaining in the bar. Any idea on how to incorporate this? Please refer me to the documentation.

Use the Countdown Timer study to access the remaining time. You will find the documentation for it here: Countdown Timer Be sure to change the Input for Display Remaining Time as Seconds Only to Yes. You can then reference the Subgraph datain terms of seconds left. For example, if the Countdown Timer is the first study (ID1), then in order to only have an alert trigger when there is 60 seconds left in a bar, you would use =ID1.SG1 < 60. To combine this with other tests, use the AND or OR function. You will find the documentation for these here: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: OR and AND Functions Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
