I want to activate a simple alert on my Default Worksheet. The alarm must go of when AN3<or>0.
=IF(OR(AN3<0,AN3>0),1,0)
=AN3<>0
I have tried both these formulas without success.
DefaultWorksheetStudy >>>Settings>>>Alerts>>> (Check: Reset Alert Condition on New Bar)(Alert Sound:Alert4)
Any advice, please.

1) The Draw Style cannot be Ignore.

2) If you are using the Spreadsheet Study study, you'll need to put a formula on the Alerts tab to get an alert when a row 3 cell goes TRUE or >0, like this for K3:

=SG1

In order for the price graph to be unaffected, you'll also need to use this formula instead:
=IF(AN3<>0),E3,0)

3) If you are using either of the other two spreadsheet studies, the alert is set in the study settings. Alerts for columns V-BR are combined with the setting labeled Column V-Z Alert.
If you want to segregate alerts in individual columns V-BR, you'll need to set the V-Z Alert to No Alert, and put a formula that includes the ID# of the spreadsheet study, on the Alerts tab of any other study (or on the Alerts tab in Chart Settings) to get an alert when a row 3 cell goes TRUE or >0, like this for BR3:

=ID1.SG60

Here's an example:
