Post From: Alert won't trigger, rounding error?

I have a simple visual signal triggered by the formula =CROSSFROMBELOW(C, ID2.SG4)
ID2.SG4 is the lower band of an ATR channel set at 2 ATR. I have a valid signal firing on one bar, then 7 bars later it fails to fire, when both signals are valid by 3 ticks (C went below the line by 3 ticks, then came back above ID2.SG4 again). I can't figure out how it could work once, then fail just 7 bars later. I'm using a Renko chart (20-15-15) in case that's a factor. If I adjust the ATR channel so that it's slightly tighter (1.8 ATR instead of 2), then both signals register fine. Looking at the Alert Manager, it appears that there may be a rounding error at work here. Here's an example from the Alert log (there is an endless stream of lines so this may not be the perfect example, but they all demonstrate the apparent floating point number): =CROSSFROMBELOW({1559.39990234375,1558.699951171875,1559.199951171875},{1559,1559.2000732421875,1559.300048828125}) | No alert sound/email. 2019-11-09 15:10:03
When the signal fires OK, it looks like this: Study Replay 30X: RTYZ19 [CB] Flex Renko 20-15-15 #7 | LongSignal Alert - Chart: Replay 30X: RTYZ19 [CB] Flex Renko 20-15-15 #7 | Study: LongSignal | Formula: =CROSSFROMBELOW(C,ID2.SG4) is TRUE. | Last Price: 1559.1 | Bar start date-time: 2019-09-11 08:20:16 | No alert sound/email. 2019-11-09 15:10:03
Is there a bug here? Or do I have some incorrect setting somewhere or something? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-11-09 23:19:49
