Get alerted when 2 scripts align

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to get an alert when two separate indicators align, say on the same bar? One indicator is an upper study and one is lower.

The Criteria for an alert on SAME bar or within 1 bar ( see picture)

Up Alerts
WeakBBUp + Signal (wavetrend)
WeakRSIUp + Signal (wavetrend)

Down Alerts

WeakBBDown + Signal2_ (wavetrend)
WeakRSIDown + Signal2_ (wavetrend)

1st Script, WaveTrend

I'm seeing multiple plots from each indicator. Could you be as specific as possible regarding which signal (from both indicators) needs to be aligned with each other?
 
Here you go, as requested:

Code:
#Wave Trend Indicator
input Channel_Length = 10;
input Average_Length = 15;
input over_bought_1 = 60;
input over_bought_2 = 53;
input over_sold_1 = -60;
input over_sold_2 = -53;
input show_bubbles = yes;
input show_sec_bbls = no;

#def zero = 0;

def wt3 = (wt1 - wt2);


def signal1 = wt1 crosses above wt2 and wt1 < over_sold_2;
def Signal = if signal1  then (signal1 * over_sold_1) else Double.NaN;
def signal2 = wt1 crosses below wt2 and wt1 > over_bought_2;
def Signal2_ = if signal2  then (signal2 * over_bought_1) else Double.NaN;

def zero = 0;
def upmid = 30;
def lowmid = -30;
def obLevel1 = over_bought_1;

Maybe this work work. Make sure to make the same adjustment for other conditions:

Code:
plot up1 = WeakBBUp within 5 bars and Signal within 5 bars;
 
Apologies for the newbie question - I was trying to scan for the StrongUp arrow but it didn't seem to result in anything (scanning for StrongUp is True?). If you could please help explain how to scan, I'd appreciate it - thanks very much
 
@asragov How did you set it up? This is how you should do it:

I didn't get any results either. If you look at your chart, you hardly see any up arrows. That could be the reason why. The signal is quite rare.
 
There are strong up arrows on the daily charts of most Dow 30 stocks around March, and on 30 minute charts, for example, recently, see Home Depot or Disney or Apple - just doesn't seem to find it in a scan ...
