Hi SC support,

I know how to set a alert for one price.What I want to ask is is there any quick way to set the alert for the price cross the line. For example, currently, I need to firstly put one line then right click the line then popup the menu, then select the "Alert" then set the condition for cross the price. A little bit complicated, is there any fast way? Could I save the cross line alert setting in Tool Config?

Mark your line, open Chart Drawing Properties > SaveAs > TC1 - TC8, give it a Config Name and click the button SaveAs (TC1-TC8).

I do have several setting in the Config. But the line properities has no default alert function. So it could not be save quickly

We apologize for the delay. We were updating our documentation for this. It is now complete and explains how to do this:

It is at the end of the Chart Drawing Alerts section.

So you want the Alerts Log to open when there is a Chart Drawing alert triggered?

Yes.Want to have a popup window to alert me. Because my PC always on mute mode.

BTW,I try to save the horizon line's chart drawing setting to config after I have do some alert setting. Later, I draw the horizon line and load the config, the alert setting seems still blank. Is that a bug?

Refer to step 10 in this section here:

For the instructions to save a default Chart Drawing Alert configuration, carefully follow the step-by-step instructions for that in this section here:

Do not follow any other instructions given by anyone else.
