Greetings, maybe its not clear what i ment, so i try to explain: I have a problem with finding my alerts due to MANY small chart windows on MANY monitors. I study my charts myself and mark interesting price levels with horizontal lines. Because i use for my purpose several instances of SC, checking the Alert window for alerts is the WORST!!! way to find out what alert got trickered. Its too inconvinient and time consuming to do it again and again and again. The BEST!!! way to do it would be to have a changing background color once the price in a chart does reach/cross a horizontal line. It hits right the eyes. I just dont know if this is possible at all and if so how to do it. Pls give me some advice here. Thx |

Hi, check this links: Color Background Based on Alert Condition line is only value put this into the alert tab for example =(C>7560) where change 7560 to value which you need + If you want to see the value, use: Horizontal lines (as SubGraph, not tool from menu) Horizontal Lines If you want to unify the charts into one alert window, you must use the price overlay study. Study/Price Overlay Study Another option is Summary window Study Summary Window Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-09-01 08:45:26

Thank you...Ackin, didnt know that horizontal lines exist as Studies...this should work well with the Background Color change based on Alert condition. BUT!!! I really would also like to be able to adjust the horizontal lines like you can do with the horizontal line drawing tool; Drag&Drop. So you can easily adjust them. Going through the study settings EVERY time is suboptimal. I guess its not possible though. Drag&Drop is probably a Drawing Tool feature only. Thx PS: Some official confirmation would be appreciated Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-09-01 08:47:33

Added new element without settings it and have automaticlly alert...I think that "no"... each new element has a new ID...Whether exist you can use UDID[#].A# look at this: Chart Drawing Tools: Chart Drawing Alerts Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-09-01 09:32:28

The Chart Drawings Window shows the Horizontal Line ID is "-29". The alert sound of the Horizontal Line is alert 1. So according to your last post (as I understand it), UDID[-29].A[1]=1 should color the background if the alarm gets triggered, right? Because the Alert Messager Window prints SYNTAX error. The background coloring doesnt change as well. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-09-01 10:20:54

No... :) Look at attached picture (line ID.png) .... and you can add other conditions with next elements,for example range (line ID range.png) But that line must exist (before) to know its ID. If you don't know - you have nothing to refer to. That's what I wrote above. The second option is to alert to value from Y-axis, see my first answer in this thread. The third is a summary window and tracking only selected values. Perhaps it helped you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-09-01 11:20:27
