Study alert with costume code not working

[fabriciom]

I'm having trouble creating a study alert with costume code.

I'm trying to create and alert that fires when a full candle crosses a study value.

Problem is that I can't seem to get script code that works in a study work in the alarm code.

Any clues?

Thanks

so, without much more to go on, I'll assume you want a full candle (wicks and all) to be above a simple moving average (or below):

def MA = SimpleMovingAvg(price = CLOSE, length = 25);
def up_condition = if LOW crosses above MA then 1 else 0;
def dn_condition = if HIGH crosses below MA then 1 else 0;
Alert(condition = up_condition or dn_condition, text = "Full Candle Cleared MA", Alert.BAR, Sound.Chimes));

perhaps that will get you moving in the direction you want.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

When I open my study alert I find this code I created with the wizard:

close crosses BasicHull("length" = 120)

How would I go about using your code? If I throw the Alert() function in there would it work? Or do I need to create a separate study?

I would like to use the Study Alert route because I can setup different chart time spaces. For example, I have an alert for 30m, 1h, and 4h.

Thanks.

Update:
Tried the following code but no go:

def MA = BasicHull("length" = 120);
def up_condition = if LOW crosses above MA then 1 else 0;
def dn_condition = if HIGH crosses below MA then 1 else 0;
up_condition OR dn_condition

Make a new study. Put this code in it:

declare upper;
def MA = HullMovingAvg(price = CLOSE, length = 120);
def up_condition = if LOW crosses above MA then 1 else 0;
def dn_condition = if HIGH crosses below MA then 1 else 0;
Alert(condition = up_condition == 1 OR dn_condition == 1, text = "Full Candle Cleared MA", Alert.BAR, Sound.Chimes));

then make sure it is running on each of your timeframe charts (add it to the studies for that chart) and you should be in business.
(or not... I'm not in ToS at the moment, just here in a text editor.)

Note that I've used LOW crossing above and HIGH crossing below rather than CLOSE crossing, as that's how we define that the whole candle has moved above (or below) the moving average.

Hello again!

Thank you for your help. With the info you provided I was able to come up with the following code that works.

high crosses below BasicHull("length" = 120) or low crosses above BasicHull("length" = 120)

Thanks for your help friend!
