Hi,

Horizontal line alerts for TPO charts are not working, the same setup in Barcharts are working perfectly. What setting should I do in such a way that when a TPO crosses the horizontal line, it should trigger an alert

You can not do this directly with the TPO study. Additionally, it sounds like you are making this much more complicated than it needs to be, as what you are stating is simply that you want to know when the price crosses a horizontal line. If you want to set this up as an Alert, then you would setup the alert within the Chart Settings >> Alert. Your alert condition for when the price goes higher would look like "=C > UDID1.A1". Refer to the following for how to reference drawings from an Alert:

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Using study settings of TPO chart in the alerts tab, I can enable one alert based on the formula. If I've multiple horizontal lines on the TPO chart, how can I enable that. Basically, when the price crosses any of the horizontal line in the TPO chart, an alert should trigger.

You would need to use the OR function in your alert. Refer to the following:
