Alerts in Tradestation

[chrisleonard 10]

Hi

 

Is it possible to set an alert to fire continuously but only on the first bar?

 

So i have a list of variables like this

 

if ADXValue > ADXValue[1] Then Alert ("ready");

 

this will fire continuoulsy but i only want this to happen on the first bar if they miss that i dont want an alert!!

 

Thanks

Yes it's possible....... but you need to explain it better......first bar of what ?. post a screenshot with details always helps.

if you write out your logic one thought at a time,

if you write out your thoughts one action at a time,

if you write out your action ONE LINE at a time,

 

in no time you will have your codes worked out.

a flow chart can help you define/refine your logic

ok so in the picture you have the bar the short signal is alerted on.

 

 

Really i only want an alert if the candle closes below here and do not want an alert if i missed the first candle.

 

So if i was to brin up this chart and the line was white for 2 candles already i dont want an alert!

 

Inputs: price(Close),  length(9),
	zeroLine(21), zeroVisible(false),
    upColour(Blue), downColour(White), colourDeltaBar(1);

Value1 = hull(price, length);


Plot1(Value1,"hull");

If ZeroVisible = true then
Plot3(zeroLine, "Zero");

if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then Alert("Long");
if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then Alert("Short");

{ Color criteria }
if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, upColour)
else if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, downColour);

end;

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Try this code.. I have not tested the code, but you get the idea.

=============================

Inputs: price(Close), length(9), 
zeroLine(21), zeroVisible(false), 
upColour(Blue), downColour(White), 
colourDeltaBar(1); 

Var: TradeSetup(0), barColor(0);

Value1 = hull(price, length); 

Plot1(Value1,"hull"); 

If ZeroVisible = true then 
Plot3(zeroLine, "Zero"); 

if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then 
begin	
TradeSetup = 1;  // Long
barColor = UpColour;
end
else if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then 
begin	
TradeSetup =  -1; // Short
barColor = downColour;
end;

SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, barColor);

// check if BarColor has changed
if (barColor <> barColor[1]) then
begin	
if TradeSetup = 1 then
	Alert("Long")
else if TradeSetup = -1 then
	Alert("Short");
end;		

{
if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then Alert("Long"); 
if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then Alert("Short"); { Color criteria } 

if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, upColour) 
else if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, downColour); 
}

to give an alert only 1 time you simply need to change ">" by crossesover

and "<" by crossesunder
