21. Alert When Moving Average Crosses over Price Bar: Enter the following Alert Condition Formula on a Moving Average study: =OR(CROSSOVER(SG1, H) <> 0, CROSSOVER(SG1, L) <> 0).
This is the one we're looking for, correct? ZS |

I included the alert in the previous post under study settings, and had it set to alert 4, which was set under general settings to send an email once the alert got triggered. In this case, once price crossed the 20 day simple moving average, which did occur today, however I never received an email. I'm attaching two pics, please let me know if I've done things up correctly. ZS Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-02-08 19:01:36

Ok, I just checked my email again and I was in fact sent an alert. However it didn't get sent until 1:45 PM EST, and price for XBTUSD crossed the 20 day moving average at 11:45 AM EST. ZS Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-02-08 19:12:45

I think the problem was I didn't have Sierra Chart running when the alert was triggered Couple of more questions. One, can you have multiple alert conditions for one study? For example, one alert that goes off when price gets within a range of a moving average (19th alert formula example), then a second alert when price actually crosses it (21st alert formula example). Second, regarding the first alert formula example (Alert When Moving Average Within Range of Price Bar) what precisely does "range" mean in terms of distance from the moving average? How close is price relative to the moving average before the alert is triggered and it sends an email? Thanks, ZS Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-02-09 01:00:04

One, can you have multiple alert conditions for one study? Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: OR and AND Functions Second, regarding the first alert formula example (Alert When Moving Average Within Range of Price Bar) what precisely does "range" mean in terms of distance from the moving average? The range is the high to low price range and it is exact. The documentation has been updated for this.
