Alert for Trix Indicator

[ericy99]

I am trying to add an alert to the TRIX indicator so there will be an audio alert, an up or down arrow, and a pop up every time it crosses the zero line. I tried to go into the efs wizard but the wizard gives me a message that it does not recognize the study. How can i get the alert added? Any help is appreciated.

The Formula Wizard can only read formulas that were written using the Formula Wizard. For all other scripts you need to use the EFS Editor
The following section of code [which includes comments explaining what it does] will do what you are trying to accomplish. Copy and Paste it after line 128 of the script then save the formula with a new name

//check that we have at least 12 bars (ie the Length + 3 bars for the conditions) 
   if(getCurrentBarCount()>=12){
       //retrieve the values of the indicator at the prior bar and two bars back and
       //assign these to the variable myRez1 and myRez2 
       var myRez = ref(-1,-2);//this creates a two dimensional array of the returned items
       var myRez1 = myRez[0][0];//value of Rez at the prior bar
       var myRez2 = myRez[1][0];//value of Rez two bars ago
   }
   //now set your conditions to be evaluated at every first tick of a new bar
   if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){//if at every first tick of a new bar
       if(myRez2>0 && myRez1<0){//if the indicator was above 0 two bars back and is below 0 on the prior bar
           Alert.playSound("ding.wav");//play a sound
           Alert.addToList(getSymbol(),"Crossing under",Color.black,Color.red);//trigger a popup
           drawShapeRelative(-1,myRez2,Shape.DOWNARROW,null,Color.red,null,"DN"+rawtime(0));//draw an arrow
       }
       if(myRez2<0 && myRez1>0){//if the indicator was below 0 two bars back and is above 0 on the prior bar
           Alert.playSound("ding.wav");//play a sound
           Alert.addToList(getSymbol(),"Crossing over",Color.black,Color.blue);//trigger a popup
           drawShapeRelative(-1,myRez2,Shape.UPARROW,null,Color.blue,null,"UP"+rawtime(0));//draw an arrow
       }
   }
