Ok so i want to make another alert. but i only want it to run once a day at a certain time. is there a way to make this possible? i kinda found something about it when reading over stuff on your site. but i dont quite understand it. What i want is for it to evaluate it at 5 PM Mountain time (USA) but that would be the only time the alert runs. the alert how i have it now looks like this "=And((ID1.SG1<ID3.SG2),(ID1.SG1<ID9.SG3))" What would i add to this to require this only sending at that specific time? P.S. you guys are always so helpful, Sierracharts has changed my trading Experience! you have a lifetime customer for sure! |

Refer to the BARTIME function within the documentation here: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Available Main Price Graph Identifiers/Variables It gives you the format for checking that a bar is at a specific time, then you just need to add that to your AND function. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

If you always have a bar with a timestamp of 5pm, you could do this: =AND(ID1.SG1<ID3.SG2,ID1.SG1<ID9.SG3,BARTIME>TIMEVALUE("16:59:59"),BARTIME<TIMEVALUE("17:00:01")) Otherwise you'll need to wait for SC to add a new variable for Simple Alerts to get the last bar end date-time.
