Alert Problem

[kabott]

Hey all, i have a little problem with alert "issuance"

Im trying to get an alert triggered on "Trend Change" using (Renko Hybrid Bar Type)

So what i did is i got the indicator calculating on bar Close= false
and
( Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[1] < Open[1] )
{
AlertXXXX
}

But the alert doesn't get triggered until after a 3rd bar has closed after the condition was met, which is unnecessary.

if i do ( Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[0] < Open[0] ) it gets triggered despite the current bar hasn't closed yet, so it can reverse and that's not good :P

How can i get the alert triggered immediately after the "change trend" bar close ??




Thank you guys.

Hello Kabott,

Thank you for your post.

I don't expect checking the came value for less than or greater than to work at all.
Close[1] < Close[1]
Close[0] < Close[1]

Are you looking to check if the Close is greater than the Open in this case?

If it is for Open then you want to check for FirstTickOfBar so that when the first down bar closes it will check this and allow you check the last two bars correctly.

if(Close[2] >= Open[2] && Close[1] < Open[1] && FirstTickOfBar)
