# @ evolernet
# your code had a little bit of syntax challenges off so I modified it a little bit for you and added Alerts. Untested but it appears as if it will work better on the aggregations of day or higher

thanks for the help...i checked, the arrow appears but no signal...

I have the same issue, I can create an arrow indicator but not an alert

The above code waits until a future bar[-1] and then goes back and paints the signal on the previous bar.

Here is an idea:
Alert(upIndicator within 2 bars, "Sell Signal", Alert.TICK, sound.Bell);
See https://usethinkscript.com/threads/sound-alert-help.12192/#post-104743 for the explanation

I have not seen an alert that could fire on the repainting of a previous bar.
Alerts 'generally' work on the current bar.

The above code waits until a future bar[-1] and then goes back and paints the signal on the previous bar.

The code I'm using below does not look into the future but does not generate an alert

def upIndicator = vClose < test;
plot upIndicatorp = if upIndicator then open[-1] else nan;
upIndicatorp.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
upIndicatorp.AssignValueColor(Color.GREEN);
upIndicatorp.SetLineWeight(1);
Alert(upIndicator, "Sell Signal", Alert.TICK, sound.Bell);

def upIndicator = vClose < test;
plot upIndicatorp = if upIndicator then open[-1] else nan;
upIndicatorp.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
upIndicatorp.AssignValueColor(Color.GREEN);
upIndicatorp.SetLineWeight(1);
Alert(upIndicator, "Sell Signal", Alert.TICK, sound.Bell);

On the ToS platform, a negative number in a bracket, refers to that many numbers of bars into the future.
Your code states after the signal happened, wait until the open of the next candle to plot the arrow.
This is not a bad idea. It prevents alerts from occurring during the formation of the candle.

Here is an idea:
Alert(upIndicator within 2 bars, "Sell Signal", Alert.TICK, sound.Bell);
This should get an alert back to the previous bar.

My two cents. You may need to add:
input SoundAlerts = Yes;
or
input alertsOn = yes;

Also this example:

From Ken Hahn
Alert(CondA and CondB[2] == 1, "helpful text", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
or
From TOS Indicators
Alert(alertsOn and Cond[1], "helpful text", Alert.ONCE, sound.ring);

Study setting should look like these:

Some of this should be helpful.
