Price crossing standard dev channel lower band

Joseal

I am trying to create an alert when the price crosses the bottom line
of a price range ( StandardDevChannel )...

Here are the steps I try but at the end the ok button does not activate:

Create Alert / Single / Price / Study / Edit /
Delete / add condition / Price / Bid / Crosses bellow / Study /
Standard DevChanel / Lower line / Save /

See attached screen grab and Notice the bottom right button is not active.....

any help will be greatly appreciated

thanks

the issues with crosses is if it "gaps down" and doesnt cross at that exact bar the alert wont trigger.

you can also use both with OR condition to include both if you want.
