Alert when price near moving average

[cramsden]

Hi, I am having trouble with this, I see the alertMA.efs but I'm not sure how to configure it the way I want.

I want an alert to pop up whenever a symbol is within a range (percent or cents) of different moving averages.

Example. Current moving average on a 10m chart is $7.30 on BAC, I want an alert whenever the price gets within 4c of the moving average level

I feel like something like this is out there but I havent had any luck looking.

Any help is greatly appreciated

If you are using version 11.4 you don’t necessarily need an efs to accomplish what you want.
You could use the built-in Moving Average study and use its alerts [including setting an alert area above and below the average based on ticks]. Alternatively you could use the built-in Envelope study and set the alerts on the upper and lower bands in addition to the central average [this would give you an area above and below the average based on percentage]
For more information see this article in the eSignal KnowledgeBase on the Alerts on Studies
