Hmm.. i am still having a bit of a trouble using the AlertIf function; now i am getting email alright; but not when i want them :).
Whether i use,
AlertIf( Buy, "EMAIL", "+1 ES- Go long on System-1 5min", 1, 15);
AlertIf( Sell, "EMAIL", "-1 ES - Close long on System-1 5min", 2, 15);
or
AlertIf( Ref(Buy,-1), "EMAIL", "+1 ES- Go long on System-1 5min", 1, 15);
AlertIf( Ref(Sell,-1), "EMAIL", "-1 ES - Close long on System-1 5min", 2, 15);
the alerts i get seem to be happening randomly, in the sense sometime they do get triggered when the signal arrives; sometimes they dont; in addition, if i get a single sell signal say, i seem to be getting atleast 6 or 7 repetetions even though the flag to supress multiple similar signals is set.
What am i doing wrong?
Exactly how does the AlertIf function work; from trying to play with it, it seems that if i click my mouse around the data back and forward; focus out of the current amibroker window and back onto it selecting bars which should have caused alerts to happen; it seems that the alerts are being generated randomly.
Does the alertif function need the amibroker window to be in focus always to generate signals? (i actually even tried that; even then it doesnt seem to be working as i expect).
Thanks
