The CROSSOVER() function requires 2 parameters. The first is the data that is doing the crossing and the second is the item that is being crossed. From the above, what you are checking is the Last price (Close) against the Study Subgraph Multiply. Therefore, your alert would be the following:
=CROSSOVER(C, ID33.SG3)

Where C is a shorthand available within Sierra Chart for the Close.

Refer to the following for information on the CROSSOVER() function:

You enter the Alert on the Alert tab of studies or on the Chart Settings window. The main thing you want to ensure is that whatever study you put it on is one of the last to calculate for the items you need. Putting it on the study itself that is being referenced is one of the safest ways to ensure this, so you are good the way you have it setup. Refer to the following:
