Setting up alerts

Hi, I'm struggling to setup alerts correctly. So far I have used the following formula for Pivot levels and other horizontal lines and it has worked correctly.


=OR(CROSSOVER(SG9, H) , CROSSOVER(SG9, L))

But when I try to add it into a time based alert like

=AND((Your alert Condition Formula),BARTIME >= ((05*60+30)/(24*60)), BARTIME <= ((22*60+20)/(24*60)))

EG
=AND(=OR(CROSSOVER(SG9, H) , CROSSOVER(SG9, L)),BARTIME >= ((09*60+30)/(24*60)), BARTIME <= ((18*60+20)/(24*60)))

It keeps returning a syntax error and I'm unsure what I'm doing incorrectly.





Also I have a 20 EMA on a 5min chart that I have used "Study/Price overlay" to plot it on a 1 tick range chart. I then applied the following formula to the "Study/Price overlay".

=OR(CROSSOVER(SG1, H) , CROSSOVER(SG1, L))


But it seems to be triggering the alert when price is nowhere near the 20 EMA plotted on the 1 Tick Range chart.

Have I done this 2nd one incorrectly?

Thanks

Try:

=AND(OR(CROSSOVER(SG9, H) , CROSSOVER(SG9, L)), BARTIME >= ((09*60+30)/(24*60)) , BARTIME <= ((18*60+20)/(24*60)))

The issue is the = before the OR.

The = before a formula should only be at the very beginning of the whole formula:

It is recommended that you take a look at the examples here:
