Hello,
Using an alert for the symbol ZB (30yr Bond) from Chart Settings Panel (Main Price Graph) as follows
=BID > 142 25/32
I did not receive an alert with this formula -
While investigating this - I tested different values (numerators)
I found that if the numerator is numbers 1 thru 9 the alert works (1/32 - 9/32)
If the numerator has a double digit - there isn't any alert produced -
Also, furthering the test - if I convert the fraction to decimal format (i.e. 142 18/32 = 142.5625) the alert works -
please investigate at your convenience -
I'm fine converting but I know in the past I have only used fractional notation
BTW I'm on v1768 - 64 bit
Thanks

Try this:
=BID > 142 + 25/32
