[amibroker] Re: alertif not consistently getting alerted

Ah! I think I see the problem!
Perhaps you should have:
ActionNumber = IIf(Action == "Buy", 1, 2);
AlertIf(True,"" ,actionString,ActionNumber,1);
instead of:
AlertIf(True,Action ,actionString,0,1);
Cheers,
Ian

since Action represents the content of the message generated 
(e.g "Buy {symbol} at {price}...), not the form the message takes 
(e.g. message window, command, e-mail, sound).
