Below is the Study I wish to alert. I am trying to get it to Alert when a new Pivot (Support/Resistance) Line appears on the chart. Right now, the study alerts when the price is greater than a previously plotted Support/Resistance Line. In the image below, I have drawn white arrows pointing to where and when I would like the study to give a new alert signal.
I would like one new alert each time a new line is plotted on the chart. That's all. I do not wish for an alert for each new bar or tick.
Thank you for any and all thoughts.

Here is list of what I have tried, and what has failed.
