I cannot get the New Daily High/Low Alert to only generate an alert once per bar; not by checking the Alert Once Per Bar box in the Alerts tab of the study itself nor in the Alerts tab of the Chart Settings.

In both tabs, the Enabled box appear to have no effect; unchecking it still generates alerts.

Updating from version 16xx to 1738 made no difference.

Also, the Alerts tab of the Chart Settings menu isn't available in the documentation here: Chart Settings

Could you check all this ?
Am I doing something wrong ?

Since that is a built in study with the alerts happening internally, it is not controlled through the standard Alert settings. What you want to do is best accomplished by using the High/Low for Time Period - Extended study and then adding an alert on that study that would similar to the following: =OR(ID2.SG1[0] > ID2.SG1[-1], ID2.SG2[0] < ID2.SG2[-1]).

The documentation for the study can be found here:
High/Low for Time Period

The documentation to add an alert to a study can be found here:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: To Enter an Alert Condition on a Study

We have updated the documentation to include a link on the Chart Settings page for the Alerts tab.
