Hi. How do I setup my alert formula to be true within 2-3 bars(candles)? Thanks!

I have a alert setup a close over a moving average with a rsi crossover 30. I would like for the signal to be valid if the rsi has crossed over within the last 3 bars.

Refer to the following for how to reference previous bars in an alert: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing Data Other Than on the Last Bar/Column In the Chart You will then have to use the AND and OR functions to string everything together. Refer to the following for the AND and OR functions: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: OR and AND Functions For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thanks when referencing a previous bar will it also reference all the bars up until the current as well?

No. It is just an absolute reference, so if you want to do something with the past three bars, you would need to have 3 entries,. For example, if you want to find out if the Close is above 2800 for any of the prior three bars, you would enter the following formula: =OR(C[-3] > 2800, C[-2] > 2800, C[-1] > 2800) Just so you are aware, there is the ability to specify a range, but it only works with formulas that can take a range as an input, such as the AVERAGE function (it would not work for the above scenario). Refer to the following for more information on using a Range within an Alert formula: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing A Range of Data For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
