Setting up two alerts

Hell, can I set up two alerts?

Since I don't know if price is going up or down, can two alerts at the same time?
One alert goes off if price goes above a certain price; and the other alert goes off if price drops below a certain price.

I tried writing the code:

=C<price here
=C>price here

But the alerts do not go off. The alerts ONLY go off when I have just one entry.

Thanks for the support!

I will soon be trying to do the same task. Considering the above SC post, it seems they are implying that it can't be done with simple alerts (my interpretation). So I am thinking of two approaches: 1 Set up two exact same indicators but with different alert conditions on each (one for shorts, one for longs). Or, 2: do same thing using two identical charts using different simple alerts. Does anyone agree that these solutions are workable? Or is there a better way?
Thanks

You can do this by using the OR function.

So you can use a single Alert Condition Formula.
