It would be very useful if ASCIL had full access to the alert configuration settings. It seems that as of 1898 the access is:

enabled – read-write (AlertCondtionEnabled)
reset alert condition on new bar – read-write (ResetAlertOnNewBar)
alert only once per bar – read-write (AlertOnlyOncePerBar)
Evaluate On Bar Close – not available
Use Full Precision When Evaluating Alert Formula – not available
Log Evaluated Formula at Each Evaluation – not available
Alert – read-only (SelectedAlertSound)

Alert Condition Flags – read-only

In particular, in order of my desires, could the following be added?:

Alert Condition – read-write access to the string – AlertFormula
Evaluate On Bar Close – read-write access
Log Evaluated Formula – read-write access

The primary use case is to make use of the configuration to configure, validate, and inform while keeping control of the alert evaluation.

One solution is to use this function:
double sc.EvaluateGivenAlertConditionFormulaAsDouble(int BarIndex, int ParseAndSetFormula, const SCString& Formula);

This will give you complete control relating to what you want.

Make sure you are running the current version.

No. I am aware of the new Evaluate formulae, although I am not clear what advantage parsing a string is over normal ASCIL evaluation unless one can actually read the string from the user.

What I am seeking is better communication with the user without having to create inputs for alert checkboxes that already exist and more importantly, to be able to read and display the condition string, which would be difficult to enter or read in a small string input box.

Thanks.
