Hello,
I'm trying to get an audible alert with the Large Trade Indicator.
I've setup SG1>100, but I can't hear any sound when this happen. I can see the programed marker style on the chart with the >100 value in the marker, but no sound.
In General Settings I can test the Alert 1 and I can hear the sound.
In Chart Settings the Alert 1 seems to be active.
Is there something I'm missing ?
Regards

By setting the alert as "SG1 > 100", you are specifying that you want an alert when the "Maximum Trade Volume per Bar" is greater than 100.

Are you certain that you actually have a Maximum Trade Volume per Bar of 100 or greater?

One easy way to check this is to use the "Spreadsheet Formula" to see what the value of the subgraph actually is. Enter a formula of "ID1.SG1" to view the value of the subgraph, where ID1 is the ID of the Large Volume Trade Indicator and SG1 is the "Max Trade Volume per Bar" for that study.

You can easily view the value itself for each bar by setting the "Draw Style" for the Spreadsheet Formula subgraph to "Value of Subgraph" and then setting the Size to something around 10. You can then compress the scale for that study so the values all align in one row.
