Hello Everyone I'm trying to set a simple alert to trigger when price crosses the standard "swing high and low" study. Reading through the example alerts, it should be similar to the pivot point study, correct? =CROSSOVER(C,SG3) check mark on "enabled", "reset condition on new bar", "alert only once per bar" Not triggering though, Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you! |

This gets a little complicated since the "Swing High and Low" is not a continuous line. It's just a point at which the data changes direction. The best way to do this would be to use the "Spreadsheet System/Alert" study and in cell K3 enter the following to get the Swing High information: =ID0.SG4@$3 > MOSTRECENTNONZEROVALUE(ID1.SG1@$3:ID1.SG1@$2000) This will give you indicators where the Last of each bar is greater than the most recent Swing High. You could then set an alert on the Inputs of the study to get an alert notification which will occur when the current bar's last/close is greater than the most recent Swing High. Refer to the following: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetFunctions.html#MOSTRECENTNONZEROVALUE_Function Working with Spreadsheets: References to Study Subgraph Columns when using the Spreadsheet Study Working with Spreadsheets: Relative and Absolute References You could then reverse this for the Swing Low and put that in the L column. You can ignore the headers for cells K, L, M, and N in relation to trading with the Spreadsheet System/Alert, since you are not using this for those.
