wont trigger alert

[watchdaride]

i made this efs formula in wizard but it wont activate when it is suppose to . I think it has to do with the offset . Any suggestion ? It is suppose to trigger when the bar closes above the donachian upper bar. thanks

The alert will trigger only the very first time your condition is true while the vLastAlert flag is still equal to -1 at which point vLastAlert is set to 1. Since the condition to trigger the alert requires that vLastAlert not be equal to 1 no subsequent alerts are generated because that flag never gets set to a different value.
You need to create at least a second condition that will set vLastAlert to a value different than 1.

Alternatively - if you don't want to add other conditions - then you need to change your current condition to be unique and set the alert to trigger every time the condition returns true (see example in the image below)
