Why doesn't this rearm 5 or 6 times?

[brojas47]

Hello NT,

Why doesn't this alarm rearm and play 5 or 6 times in the minute?
I've changed the rearm from 20 to 15 to 10. I rearms only once.
I used the wizard.

Thank you.

brojas47,

Rearm after seconds doesn't force the Alert() command to run again. You need for the script to call Alert() multiple times, then rearm after seconds allows it to log a message and play a sound multiple times.

If you had this applied to a 1 minute chart, it can only trigger once per bar (Since CalculateOnBarClose = true). Your condition is designed so that it will only be true 1 bar per day. If you want the condition to be evaluated multiple times for the same bar, set CalculateOnBarClose = false.
