reset alert automatically

[efremiv]

I'm trying to set an audible alert for some statistics that oscillate like $add, $ticki, etc. I'd like to get an alert every time it goes through a certain level without having to reset it. I only see how to re-arm it if it increases incrementally from the original alert value. Is there a way to get an alert every time $ticki goes above 20?

Thanks.

You could do it with an efs. Actually the same efs could cover up to 5 symbols and provide alerts on each.

You can accomplish this with...

Alert Flags....

What I mean is by setting an ON/OFF switch for each alert within your code.. This would allow for an automated "reset" of the alerts..

For example....

var Alert1Flag = false;
var Alert2Flag = false;


function main() {

  if ((getValue("$ticki") <  20) && (!Alert1Flag)) {
   //  reset the alert flag for this condition
    Alert1Flag = true;
  }
  if ((getValue("$add") <  50) && (!Alert2Flag)) {
   //  reset the alert flag for this condition
    Alert2Flag = true;
  }


//  Test for alert conditions.
  if ((getValue("$ticki") >  20) && (Alert1Flag)) {
    Alert.addToList( getSymbol(), "$Ticki Alert", Color.black, Color.green );
    Alert1Flag = false;
  }

  if ((getValue("$add") >  50) && (Alert2Flag)) {
    Alert.addToList( getSymbol(), "$Add Alert", Color.black, Color.green );
    Alert2Flag = false;
  }
} 

This may not be exacly what you mean, but I think it addresses the issue of "resetting the alerts".

Hope this helps..
