Hi,

Is there a way to set an alert if price goes within a zone of say 2 ticks around a standard horizontal line?

Similar to this kind of thing?

=OR(CROSSFROMABOVE(C, (SG1 + 2 * TICKSIZE)), CROSSFROMBELOW(C, (SG1 - 2 * TICKSIZE)))

Thanks

Refer to the following for how to set an alert on a drawing:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing Chart Drawings

You can use the same options the condition you specified only replacing SG1 with the drawing specification.

Hi,

But what study do I use?

I know how to set it up say on pivot points etc but not on a regular horizontal line that is configured to a button. Would I be able to configure so it works when I select my horizontal line button?

Thanks

You can add the Alert to the Chart. You do this on the "Chart Settings" window, in the Alert page. Refer to the following:
