Hi, I wanted to make an indicator to use with market analyzer to give alerts when conditions are met for all the instruments I’m watching. From what I can tell the market analyzer is the most efficient way to create “global” alerts that won’t require active charts with indicators & strategies.
I want the alerts to be active only during certain hours, and I want them to also reset/retrigger when necessary, during active hours.
Should I/Can I program the alert within the indicator, since that would make the alert more flexible, or is it better to setup the alert within market analyzer, and set active/inactive conditions within the indicator?
Any tips/insights would be appreciated.
Thanks
You can set all that already through market analyzer but you’ll want to spend some time to learn all of the capabilities of the Market Analyzer.
I already tried using existing indicators in the market analyzer to create some alerts, but the results were not adequate.
Define specifically what you’re looking to do. Alerts of any sort are usually straghtforward on Ninjatrader
Well what I’m trying to do is create an alert on increment, but I don’t know how to do that.
Say I have an indicator set up to keep count of every time a specific price level gets hit. I want the alert to trigger every time the count goes up. So the alert triggers when the count goes from 0-1. Then I want it to trigger again when the count goes from 1-2, and do this until the end of day. I could have it re arm after a few minutes, but let’s say in this case, that wouldn’t be acceptable.
How do I do that with the market analyzer alert system?
Edit Actually I figured out how to do that just now lol.
But the other situation where I need the alert is for a Boolean True/False scenario.
ie. If the price is higher than a certain level, send the alert
