RE: [amibroker] Alert If function

["Terry" <MagicTH@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Claude,

 

AlertIF is the only function I have trouble with. Everything else in AB is
incredibly stable...even beta versions. I suggest writing to support [at]
amibroker.com and see if they can give a better explanation.

 

I don't see anything wrong with your code, but I cannot see all the relevant
code so I can't be sure. You did leave out the flag to eliminate duplicate
alerts for the same day (8). You might add that back in and see what
happens.

Dear Terry

 

Thanks for your prompt answer.

 

I use daily data.

 

As I told you, the second alert has been sent by email on the 19th of
January.  However, in the subject line of the email, the date was 2007-01-18
instead of 2007-01-19.  Is there a mistake in my formula ?  Is it because
the alert was for the same stock, on the 18th and on the 19th ?  That kind
of error happens once in a while.  Very disappointed.

 

Regards

 

Claude

Claude,

 

Your English is quite clear. Unfortunately, I cannot explain this behavior.
I use AlertIf too and often is does not seem to behave as it should. I have
not seen/noticed this date issue, but sometimes it simply does not send out
the alert. Are you sure the 2nd alert was from the next day? Are you using
daily data?

My system generates an email alert each time there is a Buy signal.

 

On January 18th, my system generated a buy signal and an email alert.  In
the subject line of the email, the date was 2007-01-18.  Till there,
everything is OK.

 

On January 19th, my system generated a buy signal on the same stock and an
email alert.  However, in the subject line of the email, the date was
2007-01-18 instead of 2007-01-19.  Does anybody know why ?

 

Here is the formula I use for the email alert :

 

AlertIf( Buy, "EMAIL", "A sample alert on "+VolumeDeLaTransaction, 1, 1+2)

 

Hope my English is understandable.  My mother tongue is French !

 

Thank you very much for your help.
