Alert.addToList not running

[jfranta]

I'm trying to run Alert.addToList... but when I load this script it doesn't output anything. However if I click the "syntax check" button in EFS editor, the alerts output... but if I remove/load or reload this script, the alerts never generate...

I have two other scripts that use alerts successfully, but for some reason I can't have more than two EFS scripts that use addToList??? what am I doing wrong? has anybody seen this before?

function preMain() {}

var thrice = true;

function main() {

if (thrice) {
    thrice = false;
    debugPrintln("thrice");
    Alert.addToList( "IBM", "Breakout!", Color.green, Color.black ); 
    Alert.addToList(getSymbol(),"test",Color.blue,Color.black);

}

}

I think it's because alerts only get generated if they are triggered on the LAST bar of the chart.

Try changing:

if(thrice)

to:

if (thrice==true &&
isLastBarOnChart()==true)

Hope that helps.

yup that was the problem, didn't know that (not in the documentation for that function)... thanks!
