We are not exactly sure how you are setting this up, but in order to get an Alert when a bar is closed, you would enter the following for the Alert Condition: =1 So the alert is always active, and then enable the alert option for "Evaluate on Bar Close". -- It sounds like you would need a condition to test if you are in a trade. Again, without knowing more about what you are doing, all we can recommend is to use the "Trading: Position Quantity" study and test against this to see if it is non-zero (hence you are in a trade). In which case your alert condition would be the following: =ID1.SG1 > 0 Again, make sure the option for "Evaluate on Bar Close" is enabled, so you will then close out any open positions on bar close when you are in a trade.
