Hi I managed to make a text display alert without any problems. My question is how can I make the display alert stay for a specific seconds or minutes after it shows? Since it stays on the full 15mins candle until the next new candle appears. |

We need to understand what exactly you are doing. How is this alert setup, what are you doing?

I made an alert using text display for study exactly as your instructions with color based on alert condition to show a big text on my screen. Text Display For Study The alert with text display works good but after it shows it stays on until the next 15min candle appears. I want the text display alert to show and disappear at 5min instead the text banner staying on in the screen the full 15mins duration candle. Thanks John, |

If you can, you would need to set the condition in your "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to control this. We say "if you can", as it depends a lot on how your current condition is setup and whether you can use the Bar Times to control the time. Right now, your condition must be being reset with a new bar, which is why it is going away when a new bar starts.

I uploaded the settings enabled for the color bar based on alert. Here is a example of the code I'm trying using text display alert for swing high and lows: =OR(SG1 > 0, SG2 > 0, SG1[-1] > 0, SG2[-1] > 0, SG1[-2] > 0, SG2[-2] > 0, SG1[-3] > 0, SG2[-3] > 0) Then I tried to use countdown timer for the text display alert dissapear at 5mins on a 15mins chart and worked good, but on the next candle keeps doing the alert when it haven't made a new swing high, low. This is the code I made: =OR(AND(ID41.SG1 > 0, ID41.SG2 > 0, ID41.SG1[-1] > 0, ID41.SG2[-1] > 0, ID41.SG1[-2] > 0, ID41.SG2[-2] > 0, ID41.SG1[-3] > 0, ID41.SG2[-3] > 0), AND(ID30.SG1 > 600)) There's a way that when it made the alert stays off until a real swing high, low have being made instead repeating the alert on each new candle John? |

You have too many AND()'s going on. Your condition should be the following: =AND(OR(SG1 > 0, SG2 > 0, SG1[-1] > 0, SG2[-1] > 0, SG1[-2] > 0, SG2[-2] > 0, SG1[-3] > 0, SG2[-3] > 0), ID30.SG1 > 600) Although we are not quite sure how you are using the Countdown Timer, so you may need to change the sign to a Less Than (i.e. ID30.SG1 < 600).
