Hi Support. I have an alert on MYM that works very well and everytime correctly. when I place that same Alert condition on M6A or M6E, alert does not go off when it is True, nothing appears in Alert Manager ether. Any idea why that is happening? Thank you! |

I am pretty confused by this Value Format information. To clarify, for example if I am looking at M6A, Price Display Format says: 0.0001 so then does it mean in studies like RSI to get an Alert I need to set the Value Format in Settings and Imputs to 0.0001 ? Because I did that and its not working. Please let me know what I should set Value Format for. Thank you! |

Also what I noticed is that if I use an RSI ALERT that is just limited to RSI like =OR(SG1 > 70 , SG1 < 30) then the alert goes off without a problem in M6A. But if I put in RSI Alert formula that involves 2 IDs like = AND (ID1.SG1 > 90, ID2.SG3 < 0), then the Alert does not go work. Can you please help. Thank you! |

so then does it mean in studies like RSI to get an Alert I need to set the Value Format Not necessarily. It depends upon the values of the RSI.in Settings and Imputs to 0.0001 From documentation: identifiers O, H, L, C, SG1, ID1.SG1, ... are converted to values which correspond to the Price Display Format/Value Format setting on the main price graph or study that the identifier belongs to.

Hi Support, I still don't get it, I am sorry. I have a simple formula for Alert on RSI which is RSI(2,1) is ID1.SG1 and MACD(12,26,9) is ID2.SG3 so my basic formula for Alert is: = AND (ID1.SG1 > 90, ID2.SG3 < 0) So then for M6A futures, what do I have to set the Value Format for RSI and MACD to get an Alert to ring please? Thank you for your help! |

The M6A tick size is 0.0001 so the value of its MACD will be even smaller. Set the MACD Value Format to 0.00001 or smaller. To see a visual location of the alerts, put your formula on the Alerts tab of a Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study. |
