You can turn off the multiple alerts within one time bar with the flags.
>From the help file:- 5. Flags control behaviour of AlertIF function. This
field is a combination (sum) of the following values: ( 1 - display text in
the output window, 2 - make a beep (via computer speaker), 4 - don't display
repeated alerts having the same type, 8 - don't display repeated alerts
having the same date/time) By default all these options are turned ON.

Subject: [amibroker] Alerts and tick charts question

I am having some problems with alerts on tick charts. 
For example, I can be running a 20 tick chart, with
the following simple setup. The problem is that alerts sometimes 
trigger before the 20 tick bar has fully completed. Also, sometimes I 
get multiple alerts spaced 5 seconds apart. I know that internally
AB stores data with 5 second granularity, so perhaps this has 
something to do with it? I initiate scans more often that once a 
minute using AB automation. 

Anyone have any feedback?

Buy = Cross( close, study( "R1" ) );
Short = Cross( study( "S1" ), close );
Sell = 0;
Cover = 0;

AlertIF( Buy, "SOUND C:\\WINNT\\Media\\The Microsoft Sound.wav", 
        "Buy signal triggered at " + close, 1, 15, 0);
AlertIF( Short, "SOUND C:\\WINNT\\Media\\Utopia Windows Start.WAV", 
        "Short signal triggered at " + close, 2, 15, 0);
