Re: [amibroker] Alert If function

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Rule #1 - when you ask code-related question always provide FULL formula
Rule #2 - never change default values unless you know what you are doing.

You have changed default values of AlertIF. THe flags (3) you decided to use mean:
send multiple repeative alerts.  This means that it will send the same alert over and over again.
And unless the direction of the alert changes it will show 2007-01-18 because the original signal
was triggered then.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

  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.
