Howdy,

I am sure there is a way to do this, but I can not find what conditional to test in an alert windows (without putting up a spreadsheet).
Can anyone point me to a link or give me an example that shows:

IF "POSITION LONG" AND [CLOSE < SUPERtRENDsTOP] SOUND ALERT.

and

IF "POSITION LONG" AND [CLOSE < SUPERtRENDsTOP] then [exit position].

Being that you want to refer to your current Trade Position, it is necessary to use the Spreadsheet System for Trading study or ACSIL for this.

Neither of these will need to generate an actual live trade signal. They can give you an alert only.

I have constructed a complicated spreadsheet that identifies trade signals and takes them; in once sense, I am happy with it, but it is complicated and hard to modify.

So, now I have implemented with with a series of alerts from a combination of studies that I load onto the chart. I have a green or red arrow put on the chart for entry and do not know how to put the trade into the chart trade manager. And, conversely, I would like to exit that position (even if I put in on manually) if the Super Trend Stop is hit. Is there a way to find out if a position is on and if it is long or short in the alert study box?

Also, how can I find out about ACSIL and get some examples.

Thanks.
