Hi,

How can i set an alert for SG in the numbers bar calculated values

For eg if a specific SG < xxx (the value when it triggers)

I am looking for the if statement for the above. I had done it in the past but i am not able to figure it out now

You do not need an "IF()" statement for true/false tests in the Alerts. So the following statement is the right idea:
=SG < xxx

But, there are some special rules for what you need to do to access the information for some of the Numbers Bars Calculated Values. Refer to the following:

Okay - i will give this a try tomorrow.


Also, i was testing out the alerts just on price conditions. Every time alert triggered , the alert manager and alert log both pop up. How can i not have the alert manager pop up but let only the log pop up

We do not know what you mean by "Alert Manager" and "Alert Log". To us, this is the same thing.

There is a "Compact Alert Pop-Up" window, if maybe this is what you are referring to. This can be set for specific alerts to show in it. By default, alerts do not show in the "Compact Alert Pop-Up".

Also refer to the following setting:
General Settings Window: Show Alerts Log On Study Alert (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Alerts >> Additional Settings)
