Triggered Alert Request

[cpatte7372]

Hello members,

I have been trying to get an alert to appear in the triggered alert box only when a certain condition appears.

In this case I just want an alert when a bar turns green. However, the alert occurs everytime the price changes.

Can someone please help

function preMain(){

setStudyTitle("MFIcolors");
setCursorLabelName("MFI", 0);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM);
}

var color=0
var MFIold=0;
var sMyVol="Volume";
var MFI=0;

function main(){
if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR)
MFIold=MFI
var MyVol = "Volume";
if (sMyVol != null) MyVol = sMyVol;
var Range = high(0) - low(0);
var Vol = getValue(MyVol,0);
//var MFI = 0.0;
if (Vol > 0) MFI = Range / Vol * 1000000000;
else MFI = 0;

debugPrintln(MFI+" "+MFIold)

if(MFI>MFIold && volume()>volume(-1))
setBarFgColor(Color.green)
Alert.addToList( "IBM", "Breakout!", Color.green, Color.black );
if(MFI<MFIold && volume()<volume(-1))
setBarFgColor(Color.brown)
if(MFI>MFIold && volume()<volume(-1))
setBarFgColor(Color.blue)
if(MFI<MFIold && volume()>volume(-1))
setBarFgColor(Color.red)


return MFI;
}
function test() {
if(MFI>MFIold && volume()>volume(-1)){
Alert.addToList( "IBM", "Breakout!", Color.green, Color.black );
}

}



Cheers

OK,

I think all I need help with is to get an alert when the bar turns green.

if(MFI>MFIold && volume()>volume(-1))
setBarFgColor(Color.green)
Alert.addToList("AA", "hello", Color.blue, Color.green);
debugPrintln("hello");

At the moment, I get an alert everytime the volume changes

Appreciate your help.

Try this:

function preMain(){
    setStudyTitle("MFIcolors");
    setCursorLabelName("MFI", 0);
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM);
}

var color=0;
var MFIold=0;
var MFI=0;
var Flag = 0;
function main(){
    if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
        MFIold = MFI;
        Flag = 0;
    }
    var Range = high(0) - low(0);
    var Vol = volume(0);
    var Vol_1 = volume(-1);
    //var MFI = 0.0;
    if (Vol > 0) MFI = Range / Vol * 1000000000;
    else MFI = 0;

    //debugPrintln(MFI+" "+MFIold);

    if(MFI>MFIold){
        if(Vol>Vol_1){
            setBarFgColor(Color.green);
            if(Flag !=1){
                Alert.addToList( "IBM", "Breakout!", Color.green, Color.black );
                Flag = 1;
            }
        }
        if(Vol<Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.blue);
    }
    if(MFI<MFIold){
        if(Vol<Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.brown);
        if(Vol>Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.red);
    }
    return MFI;
}

Triggered Alert Request (contd)

Hello Wayne/Esignal members,

I didn't want to start a new thread but each time I try to submit a reply the website bombs.

I'm trying to reply to request that Wayne fulfilled for me, subject:
Triggered Alert Request.

I'm trying to ask if Wayne could further tweak the EFS to alert not just when the MFI is Green, but also when the price is above the open.

At the moment, the EFS alerts whenever the MFI histogram turns green whether the price is above or below the open.

Appreciate it.

Cheers

Carlton

Use the last one posted, the forum doesn't allow me to edit or delete.

The only difference is the following line under preMain():

setDefaultBarThickness(3,0); 

Just change the 3 to whatever thickness you want to adjust the thickness of the bars.

Wayne,

I going to put the EFS to the test later tomorrow - I just wanted to take the time to say thank you. I'll let you know how I get on with it tomorrow.

Missing } after function body

Hi Wayne,

You updated the the efs below for me to alert me when the close is > than the open.

I tried to tweak the efs to also alert when the close < than the open, however whenever I run the efs I get the following error message:

missing } after function body.

I wonder if you could take a look at it and let me know where I'm going wrong?

function preMain(){
setStudyTitle("MFIUpDown");
setCursorLabelName("MFI", 0);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM);
setDefaultBarThickness(3,0);
}

var color=0;
var MFIold=0;
var MFI=0;
var Flag = 0;
function main(){
if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
MFIold = MFI;
Flag = 0;
}
var Range = high(0) - low(0);
var Vol = volume(0);
var Vol_1 = volume(-1);
//var MFI = 0.0;
if (Vol > 0) MFI = Range / Vol * 1000000000;
else MFI = 0;

//debugPrintln(MFI+" "+MFIold);

if(MFI>MFIold){
if(Vol>Vol_1){
setBarFgColor(Color.green);
if(close(0) > open(0) && Flag !=1){
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "MFI Up", Color.green, Color.green );
Alert.playSound( "Blip.wav" );
if(close(0) < open(0) && Flag !=1){
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "MFI Up", Color.red, Color.red );
Alert.playSound( "Boing.wav" );
Flag = 1;
}
}
if(Vol<Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.blue);
}
if(MFI<MFIold){
if(Vol<Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.brown);
if(Vol>Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.red);
}
return MFI;
}

Hi cpatte7372,

Every open bracket ({) requires a close bracket (}) that encapsulates the methods for a set condition. Corrections follow:

function preMain(){
    setStudyTitle("MFIUpDown");
    setCursorLabelName("MFI", 0);
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM);
    setDefaultBarThickness(3,0);
}

var color=0;
var MFIold=0;
var MFI=0;
var Flag = 0;
function main(){
    if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
        MFIold = MFI;
        Flag = 0;
    }
    var Range = high(0) - low(0);
    var Vol = volume(0);
    var Vol_1 = volume(-1);
    //var MFI = 0.0;
    if (Vol > 0) MFI = Range / Vol * 1000000000;
    else MFI = 0;

    //debugPrintln(MFI+" "+MFIold);

    if(MFI>MFIold){
        if(Vol>Vol_1){
            setBarFgColor(Color.green);
            if(close(0) > open(0) && Flag != 1){
                Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "MFI Up", Color.green, Color.green );
                Alert.playSound( "Blip.wav" );
                Flag = 1;
            }
            if(close(0) < open(0) && Flag != -1){
                Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "MFI Dn", Color.red, Color.red );
                Alert.playSound( "Boing.wav" );
                Flag = -1;
            }
        }
        if(Vol<Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.blue);
    }
    if(MFI<MFIold){
        if(Vol<Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.brown);
        if(Vol>Vol_1) setBarFgColor(Color.red);
    }
    return MFI;
}

Can someone please tell how to add the price to this EFS when it alerts. At the moment, I'm getting the symbol, desription and the time, but no price.

Hello cpatte7372,

if your question is about settings of EFS Alert List, then, unfortenutely you cannot add column Price
into EFS Alert List via settings neither in ver 10.6 nor in ver 11.x. As a workaround you could include a price value in description
string, i.e., as follows:
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "MFI Dowm 3min; Current price is "+close(0) , Color.red );

If you need to include Price column in EFS Alert List from Alert settings, you could request this feature using
Support/Request a feature Dialog

Thank you
