Parabolic and MACD Alerts efs wizard

[GoBucks8866]

I wanted to make sure that my thinking is correct in this efs study. I want to make sure that when both conditions are met at separate times that the alert will trigger and that the alert is not set up to only go off when both conditions are met at the same time.
Also can anyone explain the difference between "first time" and "everytime" and the efs wizard?

Thanks

The alert will trigger when both conditions are true regardless of the fact that one condition may have been true for a while and the other just evaluated to true
"everytime" means that a command will be executed each time a condition evaluates to true.
"first time" instead means that a command will be executed only each first time a condition evaluates to true ie it will not be executed again until some other condition evaluates to true
