ALERT CONDITIONS FROM A DIFFERENT TIME FRAME CHART

Hi SC,

I am wondering if it is possible to set alerts referencing a different time frame chart.

So for example, the hourly trend is up and a trader wants to use the 15 minute chart to buy dips in the uptrend.

Is it possible to set an alert on the 15 minute chart (e.g. oversold alert on the 15 minute using some study) that only triggers if a study on the 60 minute chart (a different chart to which the alert is set) is consistent with an uptrend (e.g. increasing momentum)?

This would reduce the false alerts that a trader receives on the 15 minute chart.

thanks
