Sir,

would it be possible to create an alert within a charbook linking the same indicator placed in several units of time.

For example, an alert that would inform that the MACD0 has crossed the signal curve in the same direction on the 5mn and 15mn chart ?

The alert would trigger once both of them have crossed.

This could be also effective with another alert when one MACDO0 curve cross on its specific unit of time ?


Is this possible ? Which argument do I have to use to realise that ?


Thanks for your precisions.

Yes this can be done by putting the other MACD on the same chart as the other MACD by using the Study/Price Overlay study:

An Alert Formula can reference other studies on the chart:

Practically,

to get an alert from 2 MACD indicators present in 2 charts of the same Asset

You implement MACD on both.

You implement Stdy/Price Overlay in one of the 2 indicators and then you choose MACD in the Settings and Inputs tab under the Bases On scrolling list choices ?

If one wants an alert among 3 identical indicator set in 3 differents chart time, one has to chose only one Study/Price among the 3 chart or 2 Study/Price indicator on 2 differents charts ?

If you could do some more video about specific elements like that, it could be really nice.

A growing library coming out with the time in a specific Youtube channel, will help also lots of people from the community to make less request on the forum and invite new people to get into the Sierra world !

Snagit or Action! from Mirrilis are superb software for that.

Thanks a lot for your kind help !!

No, this is completely unrelated and we never gave you any documentation about this.


If one wants an alert among 3 identical indicator set in 3 differents chart time, one has to chose only one Study/Price among the 3 chart or 2 Study/Price indicator on 2 differents charts ?
You will use 2 Study/Price Overlay studies to put the MACD studies on a single chart.

We would not do a video for this.

We do not believe in the use of videos. Videos are for people who do not want to read and learn in a proper fashion.

What you want to do is already well documented.

Ok...I try to understand all what I read but I am not initially a developper.. and so the practical and visual way is more the way I learn things.

I mean people are different in the way they do absorb information and new skills (visually, by hearing, touching, ecc.)

SO, going back to our folks... I would like to be sure that I got it.

In the same chartbook, I have the same asset declined in different charts: 1M, 3M, 5M, 15Mn,30Mn, 1H, Daily

Inside the 15Mn chart, I have implemented 3 different Study/Price Overlay which are: 1M, 3M, 5M

Inside each of them, I have chosen the MACD (ID:13) which is the one present in the destination chart, the 15Mn one.

Then I displayed then a in specific area.

Please see attached file.

The fact is that I want have implemented various alert combining the MACD in 1Mn, 5Mn and 15Mn saying to me:

> they are in the same orientation and which one:

A > the MACD curve has cross the signal curse in all three Study/Price if all in the same direction

B > the MACD curve has cross the signal curse in all three Study/Price if the 1M and the 5Mn have crossed in the same direction

C > the MACD curve has cross the signal curse in all three Study/Price if the 1M and the 15Mn have crossed in the same direction


To get an alert for each cross and another when all the conditions requested are respected..

Do I have to create 2 "COLOR BASED ON ALERT CONDITIONS" for each Study/Price in which I would write this code:

=CROSSFROMABOVE(ID13.SG1,ID1.SG2)
=CROSSFROMBELOW(ID13.SG1,ID1.SG2)

?

If I want a specific sound effect for each cross identifying the type of cross (from above or from below), I must implement the custom sound directly inside the "Color Based on Alert Conditions' indicator" ?

How one can link each of these "Color Based on Alert Conditions" indicators one to the others ?

How can the 1Mn chart Study/Price can control that the 5Mn chart Study/Price has a MACD curve that has crossed from above ?


To end, is it possible to create a time constraint for accepting these conditions to be accepted ? please reload the control on each new candle of 5mn for example.

I know it seems weird, but I want to test that strategy.

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TIME.
