Indicator that gives alerts via market analyzer

Desktop SDK - Indicators
1

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
