Yes but note that scans in AA window can be run only every 1 minute, so in reality alert may be delayed upto 1 minute.
I am currently working on alerts connected to Real Time Quote window that will react quicker because
scans will be triggered by price action.

Tomasz,

Please clarify one other point. Suppose I have the following alerts on 5minute RT charts:

    
AlertIf( Cross(rs, BuyLine), "", "RS Buy", 10, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );
AlertIf( Cross( SellLine, rs), "", "RS Sell", 10, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );

Do these alerts fire based on tick data? In other words, as soon as there is a cross caused by the lastest tick, the alert should fire, even if thechart is 5 minute bars. It will have nothing to do with the Settings, Delays or Settings, Open, Close, Average etc. Is this right?

Thanks,

Rick

Rick,

Yes this will give you only one signal BUT... only if at one time (one scan) only ONE type of alert is generated per symbol.

The problem is that in your formula cover = buy so when buy alert appears you receive also cover alert.

So you should use:

AlertIf( Buy, "", "Buy / Cover Stock", 1 , 1 + 2 + 4 + 8);
AlertIf( Sell, "", "Sell / Short Stock", 2, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );

to avoid repeated signals.

Tomasz,

Re: RT Alerts and Scan

Situation:

I have an indicator that triggers my Buy/Sell/Short/Cover signals.

Buy = Cross(rs, BuyLine);
Sell = Cross( SellLine, rs);
Short = Sell;
Cover = Buy;

I am using 15 minute bars. Delay = 0, Buy on Open, Sell on Open.

I set SCAN every 1 minutes.

Set #1:
AlertIf( Buy, "", "Buy Stock", 1 , 1 + 2 + 4 + 8);
AlertIf( Sell, "", "Sell Stock", 2, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );
AlertIf( Short, "", "Short Stock", 3, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );
AlertIf( Cover, "", "Cover Stock", 4, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );

Set #2:
AlertIf( Cross(rs, BuyLine), "", "RS Buy", 10, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );
AlertIf( Cross( SellLine, rs), "", "RS Sell", 10, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );
AlertIf( Cross( SellLine, rs), "", "RS Short", 10, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );
AlertIf( Cross(rs, BuyLine), "", "RS Cover", 10, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 );

Questions:
1.. Re: Set #1 should only give an alert on the Open of a 15 minute bar, per my Settings, correct? 
2.. Re: Set #2 this should give an alert based on tick data. Whenever there is a cross, there should be an alert regardless of bar status. Correct? 
3.. Despite using 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 or blank (default) in the fifth parameter, I am still getting repeated alerts for same time and signal. Why?
As you can see in the screen shot below, IDPH is giving repeated alerts.

Thanks,
Rick
