Hi, I have created an alert for initial balance study to alert me when we are at ib high or low.

I am using the following formula however it is not triggering.

=OR(ABS(SG7)<=0.5,ABS(SG9)<=0.5)

Is this the right way to do it? Is there a way to get trigger when we are close to it by 1 tick (or so). Would the alert fire everytime price touches it even within same bar? I have enabled reset alert condition on new bar? what is the effect of this?

Thanks

The Initial Balance lines have actual price values so comparing them to a small fractional value does not make sense. You would have to subtract the initial balance of value from the current price.

Example:
=OR(ABS(C-SG7)<=0.5,ABS(C-SG9)<=0.5)
