Anyone know how to limit a simple alert to a % or pip range from a study? say the previous day high...C>ID16.SG2 and I have a few other criteria that can come into play but I dont want it to happen > then a certain % or in pips from the ID label value. I need to be able to give it some room from previous high but not too much...anyone know how to code this in the simple alerts. Thanks! |

To get a percentage, just add it directly to the alert. For example, if you want the Close to be greater than the previous day high plus 10%, you would have the following: = C > ID16.SG2 + 0.1 * ID16.SG2 Same thing for pips, just add the amount you want: = C > ID16.SG2 + .02 For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

How is the alert condition coded to be in between the ID label and an amount? So I need the alert condition to trigger = and > then call it 5 pips or 1%. When I code it as = C > ID16.SG2 + .02 the alert triggers at = C > ID16.SG2 + .02 and I need it to trigger within = C > ID16.SG2 and + .02 but not greater then. So I need to give a little room but not to far past? if that makes sense. I tried => but its not working ?? Thanks! |

You need to use the AND function and contain the alert within a given window. So it would look like the following: =AND(C > ID16.SG2 + .02, C < ID16.SG2 + .04) In the above, if the Tick Size is .01, then the only time you would get an alert would be if the Close was at the value of ID16.SG2 + .03, since we are not including .02 or .04. If you wanted to alert when it included the .02 and .04, then you would need the = as well, so the following: ==AND(C >= ID16.SG2 + .02, C <= ID16.SG2 + .04) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
