Hi, 
 
Four hours later and think I understand this a little better. 
 
This applies for Indicator Alertif, with Alertif placed in a chart with
data coming in. 
Alertif(Buy, "", "", 1, 1+2, Lookback =1); // returns the first signal
in one bar back. 
Alertif(Buy, "", "", 1, 1+2, Lookback = 10); // only returns the first
signal in the last 10 bars back. 
Alertif(Buy, "", "", 1, 1+2, Lookback = 0); // Actually gives me a
signal inside the currently open 5 min bar with data coming in. 
Alertif(Buy, "", "",1, 1 + 2 ) ; // with no Lookback set, I get a
signal only for the last (already closed bar). 
 
Therefore this defaults to a value of 1. 
 
My confusion was that in AA settings N bars back, hitting Scan would
output all signals in the Results window. 
This is not the same as the lookback field in the Alertif statement, as
far as I can make out. 
 
See attached for those of us who can get attachments.

  Hi 
   
If I do not set a value in the last parameter of 
   
Alertif( , Lookback = 1); 
   
what does this default to?
