These following new identifiers can be used in Simple Alert Formulas in the next release:

VAP[][] = The Volume at the specified price level at the specified relative bar index. The first set of square brackets specifies the price. The second set of square brackets specifies the relative bar index. For example, VAP[1000.5][0] gets the Volume for the 1000.5 price at the chart bar index being evaluated. VAP[1000.5][-1] will return the Volume for the the prior chart bar from the one being evaluated. Both sets of square brackets are required.

BVAP[][] = The Bid Volume at the specified price level at the specified relative bar index. The first set of square brackets specifies the price. The second set of square brackets specifies the relative bar index. For example, VAP[1000.5][0] gets the Bid Volume for the 1000.5 price at the chart bar index being evaluated. Both sets of square brackets are required.

AVAP[][] = The Ask Volume at the specified price level at the specified relative bar index. The first set of square brackets specifies the price. The second set of square brackets specifies the relative bar index. For example, VAP[1000.5][0] gets the Ask Volume for the 1000.5 price at the chart bar index being evaluated. Both sets of square brackets are required.

To be able to use a separate alert for bid volume and ask volume would require you to put one alert formula on the Numbers Bar study and another one through the main chart through Chart >> Chart Settings >> Alerts.
