Sound Alerts for Moving Average Crossover

[Manson]

Hi Jerry...

I have a simple 2 moving average crossover paintbar set up with sound alerts. Right now after the crossover I get the alert but then the  alert keeps repeating (bullish crossover, the alert keeps repeating within that crossover) with as far as I can see the only option to clear and restart after X time.....Is it possible to have the sound alert only fire once at each crossover ? So for example sound alert fires once at the bullish crossover, then fires once at the next bearish crossover, then once at the next bullish crossover etc.

 

Thanks a lot....long time user here from the Quote Tracker days.

normally once an alert is triggered, it will not trigger again unless you clear it.  I would have to see your exact setup.

Please do the following:
Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio)

And add this this Post’s URL in the comment.

Thanks.

I just sent the log file.

 

From what I can tell...it's not clearing that's the problem. It's the restart after 

x minutes option. I would like it to restart from a signal...not time.

 

Sorry if I'm missing an obvious option.

"normally once an alert is triggered, it will not trigger again unless you clear it."

I have a popup as well as sound alert....I do have the popup clear after 3 seconds. Because I have it cleared after 3 seconds that triggers it to keep alerting ?

Besides clearing the alert I do see the option to disable or to delete the alert entirely which I don't think is what I want.

you could set it to restart after X Minutes instead of immediate should work - note that it does not mean the alert will be triggered after X minutes. It just means the alert will be monitored and CAN be triggered after X minutes.

Yes, to avoid the constant alerts when it's set to the default "Immediate"....I have it at 30 mins. But Idealy I only want the alert at the crossover otherwise I get alerted when it doesn't fit my criteria. Oftentimes when a crossover happens it might be in that bullish or bearish crossover for and hour or two. No way to have it only alert at the crossovers ?

 

What if I don't use popups just sound alerts. Same problem ? 

 

[Jerry Medved]

if you use CrossesUp or CrossesDown option, it should not alert if it in the crossover. Give me the exact rules that you set up

[Manson]

Just a simple moving average crossover.

[Jerry Medved]

y, that will trigger while inside the crossover. 

In the first rule, instead of < , use "Crosses Down"

In the 2nd rule, instead of > , use "Crosses Up"

 

[Manson]

That was it. Works good.

 

Thanks a lot Jerry.
