kalmen Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 After a crossover highlight alert has been activated from the prior day, it does not show up upon MT restart the following day, how can I get those alerts to remain after restarting MT the next day? With out this feature I have to individually go over dozens of stocks to see if the crossover level was activated from the prior day. In the QT was a high-low price level which remained day after day or until I changed or deleted the price level.This particular feature is very important to me and without it I basically have to redo all those alerts every day. If this is not in the MT system could it be put into MT? THX! kalmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well, since you restart, the crossover did not occur since the restart, thus no alert. Will look at adding a new alert type. NOTE: meanwhile, if you ave charts open on the symbols in question, you can do the same alert in Paintbars which Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalmen Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I do not have charts open on symbols and not sure what you mean about putting the same alert in a paintbar, what does that accomplish? Unsure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Paintbars can do alerts that can be on any criteria. Basically fully customized alerts. However, it would only work if the chart is open for the symbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalmen Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I added the chart column but don't understand the purpose or how to even set it up. I've tried but I need a HELP book or something. CLUELESS using a paint-bar. I tried to make alert in paint bar but none work Edited September 13, 2016 by kalmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Chart column won't help. Paintbars are for regular charts only, not the chart column. We do have help in MT for them (hit F1, but sounds like it may be a bit much right now): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalmen Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Once again I would like you to seriously consider & include a HIGH/LOW ALERT as the crossover doesn't get it for me. All other features of MT seem to be better, smarter, & faster to use than QT and the "ONLY" item (and one of the most important to me) that's missing is the HIGH/LOW Alert feature. If that feature was already included I would have already signed up for a year but intend to start out with the monthly subscription for now in a few days . Other than the "ITEM" mentioned above the MT is PERFECT! I did try to make something of the Paintbar but it's just not what I am looking for or need at the moment.

kalmen Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Jerry, as mentioned above I still have to review each stock ( dozens of them) daily before the open to see if the crossover was activated from yesterday and that you had a solution on your "to do" list..........when might a new type alert be included (like in the old QT platform) that the symbol remains highlighted when a stock crosses ABOVE or BELOW a certain limit and the alert remains highlighted from day to day? I sorely miss that function............ So far I like MT and intend to be a subscriber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
