[amibroker] Re: Alertif() - Windows???

Also make a note that in mycase if I could TAG email ALERTS with a
high priority my mobile cell phone will be able to instantly give me a
message ( no need to logg in and retrieve messages ) . This saves alot
of time and money .

However , currently in AB we cannot assign the ALERT email with "high
priority " 

Does anyone else have this need ?

information on how to do that. Other informations i have found are
that alerts should be written so that they not occur at the same time.
In my opinion this is also no solution. If i would like to buy at any
condition than this is my condition and not any other condition. So
now i stop trying the alertif function until any update is available.
It's a pity that we can not really use it as we all would like to use it.

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.

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.
