eXAMPLE alarm

[Philesg]

Hello, I created this EFS thru the Wizard. I did EFS check, and it did not flag anything wrong.

However, I do not get any alert at all. The alert command seems correct.

What am I doing wrong? Below is a portion of the EFS.


Thanks.

//{{EFSWizard_Expressions

if (
volume() >= 10000
) onAction1();
//}}EFSWizard_Expression_1
}
//{{EFSWizard_Action_1
function onAction1() {
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Volume > 10000", Color.RGB(0,0,0), Color.RGB(195,0,0));
vLastAlert = 1;
}

Can you post the whole code (or attach the efs).
Also what symbol and interval do you have in the chart?

Hi Alex,

Here's the code. The symbols is ES #F, 1 minute interval.

Hope this helps. Pls. let me kno wif you need anything else.

As far as I can see at my end the efs is working fine and triggering the alerts. I did however need to lower the value of 10000 since the volume of ES on a 1 minute chart rarely crosses that threshold (today for example that occurred only at 10:00 and 13:10 Eastern Time)
