Dear Sir or Madam,

Could you tell me how to set an alert on an indicator so called. Percent Change Since open, please?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Arek

Alert formula if the Percent Change Since Open Study (ID1) is Up or Down 50%:

=(ABS(ID1.SG1) >= 0.50)

This will work with any of the "Based on Alert Condition" studies

Hello,

I've tried to do this but I get the following in the log

=(ABS(0.009639515541493893) >= 0.50) | No alert sound/email.

Percent change since open shows 0.9 at the time, do I need to run some math on the result before setting the condition?
