Why you completely ignored my part about Strict Signal Only On Bar Close Evaluation input?


It sounds like this is occurring properly for you, as you are not getting a signal if there is not a new bar.

Yes, I'm not getting a signal until the last bar closes. But it doesn't sound properly neither on documentation side, no on plain logic side.

1. Re documentation, this is already said in the post #11, you skipped that part too:

If you have the Signal Only On Bar Close (Column K,M) Input set to Yes, then a TRUE signal will be ignored on cells K3 and M3, and only the cells K4 and M4 will be monitored for signals. Likewise with the Signal Only On Bar Close (Column L,N-Z) Input.

2. Re simple logic, why can't I receive alerts just for closed candles, like for the most recently closed candle only? Why not? I don't care what is happening with the last still opened candle and how long it will remain unclosed.

Simple example: I open daily chart for a new symbol. The last bar is just 1 hour old (so it's 23 hours remaining for it). I want to check now the last closed bar if it satisfies my condition and get an alert indication. And I can't? Why such restriction?
What if I open 30 daily charts at once and I want to see in the Alert Manager window which symbols meet my condition?

Looks like Strict Signal Only On Bar Close Evaluation input could help to achieve that. Where is it? Why Spreadsheet System/Alert study doesn't have this input?
