Hello,
Using the spreadsheet system alert I'm trying to scan through multiple stock symbols in an associated watch list on historical intraday charts. I can see the alert working(arrow under bar) when manually clicking through the watch list. How do I run a scan of an associated watch list on historical intraday data?

Hello,
I've read through it multiple times but I must be missing something. The alerts are showing up in the alert log in real time and I can also manually look back at charts and see the alert is true(arrow under bar) its just when I start a scan(can still see arrows on chart when true) I'm not getting any alerts in the alert manager log. The watch list is made up of almost 100 stocks, 5min bars. Thanks.

But during the scan is the alert true on the last bar in the chart for a particular symbol you would expect an alert from?

I'm using the bar numbering study to reference bar 1 on a chart that starts at 9:30 so the alert wouldn't be true for the last bar. This is where my issue is. How would I reference bar 1 of the chart in this instance?
