Re: ALERT HELP!

[Bob Fulks <omegalist@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't know what you mean "triggers on the first bar".

I had it plot the bar of the alert and it plots on the third bar after the cross as expected. See attached picture.

Code is listed below.

Input: Fast_Length(9), Slow_Length(21);

Vars: MA1(Close), MA2(Close), Count(0);
        
MA1 = Average(Close, Fast_Length);
MA2 = Average(Close, Slow_Length);

Count = Count + 1;

if MA1 crosses under MA2 then Count = 0;
if MA1 crosses over  MA2 then Count = 0;

Plot1(MA1, "MA1");
Plot2(MA2, "MA2");

if Count = 3 then begin
        Plot3(Close, "Alert");
        Alert("Third bar");
end;
