Hi Support,

Is it possible to create customised alert noises for when a trade reaches a certain number of points. For example is it possible for me to set an alert / ring tone / alarm, when an open trade is up 10 points? Or even for the daily point amount

Thanks,

To set an alert when a trade is up a certain number of points, you would need to add the "Trading: Position Average Price" study to a chart that has the trade on it. Then you can setup an alert on that study that would look like the following:
=C > SG1 + 10

Where C is the last price (Close) and SG1 is "Position Average Price" subgraph for that study. Note that since you are entering the alert on the same study, you do not need to specify the study ID (like ID1.SG1), but you can if you prefer.

To set an alert when the Daily Profit has reach a certain level, add the "Trading: Daily Profit/Loss" and then enter the following alert condition on that study:
=SG1 > 500

Where SG1 is the "Daily Profit/Loss" subgraph of that study. We chose 500 as an example, you would set that value to whatever profit/loss for which you want an alert.

Note that this is strictly the closed Daily Profit/Loss. It does not take into account the profit/loss from open trades.

You can hide these studies if you do not want them on the screen, when the alerts are true you will still get the notification.
