Hi
Thomas,
I think that the
solution now is that you have to prioritize alerts so that only one
can fire (and perhaps complete) at any one time. I received some
info from Hermann on this board some time ago, lost the link so I can’t send
it. It was before my message #82061. His solution involved
prioritizing the alerts so that there was no interference. At the time that
I looked at it, it looked like more work than I wanted to devote to
it.
At some time back
there TJ described the implementation of the alertif which gave some insight
on how it works. You should be able to find all that discussion, there
have been boatloads of messages on the subject.
For the solution in
the future, my personal view, as a non-programmer, is that the
implementation of the function should be improved. For the time being
it provides the basic functionality, but as we look at AB becoming more and
more capable, this is one of the items to add to the To Do list. I
have not sent in a request myself since I saw various others commenting on
the problem. TJ will have to assess what priority to assign.
Best
regards,
Grover
Hi Grover,
i also have problems when i use
two alerts simultaneously.
However i don't see any trick to solve
it, because i have for example the level 20 on my indicator for
alert.
Now when the indicator crosses this level i want to get an email
and accoustic alert only once per bar and i have a 60min interval.
Is
there any way to solve this ? If yes, i would search all the
messages.
Regards
Thomas

Hi Ara,
I am pasting from
my message 82061 which was a message to a fellow
user:
“I have had similar
experiences, more than one under a variety of conditions. The common
“denominator” which causes the problem is when one alert triggers
simultaneously with another. When that occurs it causes AB to
display the error message which you quoted stating that you need double back
slashes (even though you have double back slashes in your program),
and then the program gets into a loop and continues to repeat the
alert. The workaround which I got in a message from Hermann is to
prioritize your alerts so that only one can fire at any one time. I have had
similar experiences, more than one under a variety of
conditions.”
The solution with
the present system as stated above is to program such that no two alerts can
be triggered simultaneously. I worked on it for a while with some
excellent info from Hermann, but turned to other objectives before getting
it smoothly working.
I believe that if
one has only one alertif statement in his code, then by definition, no two
alerts can occur simultaneously. If you have more than one alertif,
then you need to prioritize in some
way.
You can search the
archives for a lot of traffic on
this.
Hope this
helps.

Spoke too soon ... My multiple
alerts are back ... this is frustrating!!! not sure I'll be able to

[amibroker] Alertif() -
Windows???
I just had a strange behavior
...
One of my alerts kept
repeating continiously ... the control values are set correctly to ...
0,12,1).
I rebooted PC and problem
cleared!.. I assume the problem was not with Amibroker ... but I
have heard other complain of same
issue.
I have no idea why or how this
problem occured, but I would like to suggest that if anyone finds programs
that may cause problems, please share your experience... WINDOWS of course
is always my prime suspect ... but would be nice to be aware of other
problem programs.
