Why my alerts doesn't trigger

[Phantom_503]

The indicator work well but the alerts doesn't trigger, why?
here the code for the alert:

plot buylong = blong;
plot buyshort = sshort;

alert(buylong, "BuyLong", Alert.BAR, Sound.Chimes);
alert(buyshort, "BuyShort", Alert.BAR, Sound.Bell);

By the way, when I try to use scanner with this indicator, the scanner said "no matching symbols" at any time frame, why?

thank you in advance for your help

The scanner isn't producing any results, and the alerts aren't triggering because 'blong' and 'sshort' are never 'true.'

Since there are no definitions or context provided for 'blong' or 'sshort,' it's impossible to determine why they are never hit 'true.
