No sure if this is the right area to post my question......
The question is related to the 'Alerts Window' and not direct towards the 'Market Analyzer' but is see many people relate them to each other.
My setup:
I use 1 single Instrument ES (S&P future) but with 60 different charts, each chart uses a different time frame (1,2,3-60 minutes) and each chart has 3 indicators who can give alerts.
When i use the 'Alerts Window' the alerts do show up correct, but the current 4 columns and subsequent rows just give basic info. 'Instrument Name','Priority','Time','Message'.
As i use 60 times the same instrument none of the columns/rows pinpoint me towards which chart gave the alert. (i need to know this as an alert on a 1 minute time frame needs a different trade than a 60 minute time frame)
Questions
1. Is there a way to add an extra string to the Column-row 'Instrument Name' so i can identify the chart with the alert. (thinking at; Label, Period Type, Period Value.)
(i read something on an other forum about this, but have no idea where to place this type of code, in my Indicators ? (indicators are from Fibozachi and i dont see them in the 'edit indicator' window)
2. Adding extra column(s) to the alerts window by coding ?
- a column with period type/value
- a column with the name of the Indicator giving the alert
One other point, I would have thought that a double click (or Right Click>Send To>Chart) would pull the chart with the alert, but it just loads a basic instrument chart without anything, is that correct ? or a wrong setting somewhere on my side....?
Ps: i did try to set up something with the market analyzer, but i prefer the Alerts Window as it give a time stamp and latest alert on top.
Thanks
Peter
Notes:
1. did sent an email to the guys who developed the software, if they can integrate it into the 'message' column.
2. I found an indicator in the 'edit indicator' area called, 'UserDefinedMethods' is it maybe possible to add coding in this indicator to have extra text in the message column of the alerts window....and thereafter add the indicator to my charts..?
