Can't create alert

[jt_trader]

Hello:
I have a formula that creates an alert based on certain criteria. It has been working for several months. Today it stopped working.

I've tried a test formula, but even this doesn't create an alert using Alert.addToList. I can print out using debugPrintln, but I can't create any more alerts.

Here is the test code:

function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("Test");
setCursorLabelName("Test");
}

function main() {

Alert.addToList("AA", "hello", Color.blue, Color.green);
debugPrintln("hello");
}

Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks.

Thanks Alex.
At least I know that the formula works. But why does it not generate alerts on my end? The alerts worked this morning, but not any more.

I've tried rebooting my machine, but still nothing.

Check the settings of the Triggered Alert List [Tools-> EFS-> Alert List then right click the Triggered Alert List window]

Thanks Alex. I followed your instructions and found the problem.

In the Triggered Alert List window the setting 'Popup on Alert' was unchecked.

I guess I must have clicked on it somehow, toggling it from ON to OFF.

Problem resolved. Thanks very much.
