I'd like to have a sound alert if the price crosses an EMA. I am using this formula: - =AND(SG1 <= H, SG1 >= L. The attached file show a M5 chart with an EMA10 For bar no 1 I got a correct alert because it was crosses directly. Bar no 2 is the problem. As you can see the green bar before the EMA was much higher as the bar. Bar no 2 open and dropped immediately. In that case the bar did not cross the EMA but I got an alert when the EMA hit the bar before it closed. The big problem is that the EMA is running with the price in every single second. I need a formula only when the bar crosses directly the EMA and not the EMA crosses the bar. Many thanks for your help.

Try this: =CROSSOVER(C,SG1) This will alert when the Last (close) price crosses the EMA, compared to the Close price of the previous bar.
