Was trying to set up an alert when the last trade crosses the pivot point.

I tried =CROSSOVER(ID1.SG13,LASTTRADE) but this generated an error.

ID1.SG13 is the PP of the Pivot Point - Daily Study.

Thanks,
Patrick

We do not receive an error with that formula. However, we recommend using:
=CROSSOVER(ID1.SG13,C)

OK, but does that wait till the bar closes to give the alert? I would like to happen immediately if possible.

It will happen immediately as long as you have not enabled Evaluate on Bar Close.

OK. I understand - I thought C was always implying it would wait for the close. But I can use C comfortably in most situations as long as Evaluate on Bar Close is not selected. Correct?

No. This means the close price of the current bar. Refer to:

It will work as intended.
