Alerts!

Hi,

The code here give an alert when the market is open but it the alert continue to pop on each tick.

Any suggestion that let the alert trigger only one time would be very much apprecaited.

Thank you,
Safa


function preMain(){
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("marketisopen");
setShowCursorLabel(false);
}

function main(){
if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {

BarHr = getHour();
BarMin = getMinute();
cBarTimeInt =BarHr*100+BarMin*1;

if( cBarTimeInt ==830 ) {
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Market is now open!", Color.lime, Color.black );
}

return null
}
}

Here is a minor revision to your code..

function preMain(){
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("marketisopen");
setShowCursorLabel(false);
}

var AlertTriggered = false;

function main(){
if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {

BarHr = getHour();
BarMin = getMinute();
cBarTimeInt = (BarHr*100)+BarMin;

if ((cBarTimeInt ==630) && (AlertTriggered == false)) {
AlertTriggered = false;
}

if ((cBarTimeInt ==830) && (AlertTriggered == false)) {
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Market is now open!", Color.lime, Color.black );
AlertTriggered = true;
}

return null
}
}

minor correction...

function preMain(){
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("marketisopen");
setShowCursorLabel(false);
}

var AlertTriggered = false;

function main(){
if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {

BarHr = getHour();
BarMin = getMinute();
cBarTimeInt = (BarHr*100)+BarMin;

if ((cBarTimeInt ==630) && (AlertTriggered == true)) {
AlertTriggered = false;
}

if ((cBarTimeInt ==830) && (AlertTriggered == false)) {
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Market is now open!", Color.lime, Color.black );
AlertTriggered = true;
}

return null
}
}
