Hi,

I have set up an alert based on a condition in a 3 second chart. I want to overlay this alert study on a 3 minute chart.

It seems some of the alerts are copied over to the 3 minute but not all of them - the only way I can see all of the alerts is to add extension lines which seems to work for all instances but not what I want.

Is there any way to make sure I can see all alerts overlaid in the 3 minute chart?

Many thanks,

We are not sure what you mean by seeing all of the alerts. You will only see the one bar in the 3 minute time-frame change color regardless of how many are true in the 3 second chart that make up the 3 minute bar.

Also, if you are not getting the data to match up as you expect, then change the Input for Bar Time Matching Method to Containing Match. Refer to the information here:

Thanks guys,

I mean a lot of the alerts are missing, they do not appear on the chart- I have checked and many of the 3 second alerts do not appear within the three minute bar at all. However, if extension lines are selected an extension line extends, even where the alert was not visible.

I tried containing match and the same thing occurs.

Thank you,

Can you please give us a screenshot of the two charts and point out where there is a discrepancy so we can see how this is setup. Refer to the following for how to take a screenshot and post it:

Many thanks for looking into it.

Here you will see the 3 second chart and the 2 minute chart.

You see some of the green arrows print but not the red ones in this instance. Actually I see them flash up on the 2 minute chart for a split second but they disappear.

Thanks John,

I have uploaded the file here. I have taken off all of the extraneous studies.

Just a note, I have lowered the parameter in the alert against ID12.SG4 to enable more signals for testing purposes in ETH, normally this is set to 400.

Many thanks indeed,

Unfortunately, you are using a custom DLL that we do not have access to. What is the study you are using and what does it measure (we hope we can find a substitute in order to test your setup)?

Ah of course, sorry, silly me. I will send over a chartbook with a substitute study. It will be the pull stack data from the number bars calculated values 2. I can send over the revised book the weekend.

Thank you!

That will work. We'll take a look at it once you get it updated.
