Hello, i want to out alert of number bottom when delta is more then 1900 positive or negative, so i wrote
ABS (SG1) >1900

But then I want also alert for volume / sec which is visibile already on number bottom.
But when i wrote then
(SG36) > 5
It doesn’t work give me error formula.

So i wrote on alert space
ABS (SG1) >1900
(SG36) > 5

But this is error. How can I wrote correctly that? Thank

To start with, you can only have 1 alert formula per "window". So if you are trying to put these into a single Numbers Bars Calculated Values Alert window, then it will not work, as the following is invalid:
ABS (SG1) >1900
(SG36) > 5

The simplest solution is to use an OR() statement to check either situation within a single alert. So your formula would be the following:
OR(ABS (SG1) >1900, (SG36) > 5)

Another solution is to use another study's Alert window, or the "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Alert" window. Put one alert condition in one of the windows and the other in the other window. Just keep in mind if the alert is not on the actual study it is referencing, then you need to add the ID of the study to the condition (such as ID1.SG36) - refer to the following:
