[ラリー]

The attached images are output to the alert sound and alert log when the conditions for OHL (plotted high price on the day) and OHLC (plotted high price on the previous day) are met in real time of the market by changing the alert settings and column settings respectively. will be

The settings are as follows.

① Alert settings (Alert settings 1) are attached images OliveDrab (color) when the high price of the day (OHL) meets the high price of the previous day (OHLC)

Column settings (1) OHL setting plot is Current high, OHLC is Prior high

② Alert setting (Alert settings2) is DarkGoldenrod (color) when the opening price of the day (OHL data) meets the high price of the previous day (OHLC)
Or, if the day's high (OHL data2) meets the previous day's high (OHLC), DarkGoldenrod (color) Conditions (if Any)

Plots for OHL data settings in Column settings (2) are Current high,
OHL data2 plots are Current open,
OHLC is Prior high


③ Alert setting (Alert settings3) is Slate Gray-Highlight Dark Cyan (color) when the opening price of the day (OHL) meets the high price of the previous day (OHLC)

The other Properties settings above are similar.


The description of the settings is above.
The chart image of 1992 Instrument met the previous day's high at the opening price of the day and light blue was output to the alert log, but why weren't the colors of OliveDrab and DarkGoldenrod output to the alert log?

Also about the chart image of 7339 Instrument
Was the alert log not output even though the opening price of the day met the high price of the previous day?

Also, why are all three colors printed in the 4584 Instrument chart image?

Hello ラリー,

Thank you for writing in.

So I may better understand the scenario and assist you, please answer the following questions:

• Who is your data provider?
• At what time did you activate the alerts and how long were they active for?
• What are your settings for the Indicator columns of Curent day OHL and Prior day OHLC in the Market Analyzer?
  • Please right-click the market analyzer and select Columns. Provide a screenshot of the settings for the two columns in question.
• Are there any errors in the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I also suggest changing the "Name" in the top of each alert's properties to something unique. I understand that you have unique colors set up, though having a different name for each alert may also help with identifying the alerts in the AlertsLog window.

I look forward to your reply so I may further investigate.

Thank you for your reply.

• Who is your data provider?
• At what time did you activate the alerts and how long were they active for?
• What are your settings for the Indicator columns of Curent day OHL and Prior day OHLC in the Market Analyzer?

①IB Securities.

②It started about an hour before the market opened and was active for about 3 hours.

③There may be a screenshot image of the indicator column in the Zip file, but I will upload the one that is not in Zip format.

• Are there any errors in the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I can't find the past log (around 8:00 am Japan time), how can I find it?

Due to the large number of images, I am posting them in two parts.

Hello ラリー,

Thank you for your reply.

Before delving deeper and looking for any log errors, I would like you to check on something. I see in your screenshots that the Market Analyzer columns on which the alerts are based use the Trading Hours template "ose." Your charts are set to the Daily timeframe, which would load the daily data from your provider as either the ETH or RTH trading session, which may not match the template you have selected for the MA and alerts. Please open a 1440-minute chart (this is the number of minutes in a day) and apply the ose trading hours template in the Data Series. Compare the bars to the alerts that fired and let me know if there are still discrepancies or questions.

I appreciate your patience and look forward to your reply.

I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you please give me the steps to do that?

Hello ラリー,

I'd be glad to provide the steps.

If you still have your daily charts open for the instruments 7339, 4584, and 1992 (screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/WzU3iKmcmR):

• Right-click the chart and select Data Series
• Change the Type from Day to Minute
• Change the Value to 1440
• In the Trading hours dropdown menu, select ose
• Click OK to save the changes
• Repeat these steps for all three charts

If you no longer have the daily charts open, follow these steps instead:

• Go to Control Center > New > Chart
• Select the desired instrument
• Set the Type to Day
• Set the Value to 1440
• In the Trading hours dropdown menu, select ose
• Click OK to open the chart
• Repeat these steps for all three charts

Once the 1440-minute charts are opened, compare them to the alerts and alerts log and see if they are different from the values shown in the Daily charts.

Thank you for your patience.

This is the verification result as of November 9, Japan time.



I set it on the chart and verified it (this was verified on November 11th), but an alert log was output for all instruments.

However, I want Market Analyzer to automatically output an alert log for all instruments that meet the conditions in real time.

Hello ラリー,

Thank you for your reply.

Based on your previous screenshots, the alerts are configured to trigger when one value is greater than another. If this is true at the moment of enabling the alert, it will be triggered. It is still possible for the alert to be "rearmed" so that it may trigger again if/when the condition is met in real-time again. This is all dependent on the Rearm Type, which you had set to rearm when the condition is reversed.

If you would like an alert to trigger only when a value actively crosses above another value, then using the Greater comparison would not be quite the same. For an example of a crossover condition:

For more information about configuring alerts, alert conditions, and alert actions, please see the following pages:

We also have an alert overview on our YouTube channel here:

If you have an idea of the type of alert you would like to configure, please provide a description and we would be glad to provide a screenshot demonstrating how to achieve the alert configuration if possible.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Thank you for your reply.

The first image is the alert log result when I manually reload Ninja Script with the market analyzer for instruments where the day's high (plot is high) exceeds the previous day's high (plot is high), but 10 instruments are output, so why are only 5 instruments output in real-time? Why are 10 instruments outputted but only 5 instruments are outputted in real time?

Also, the second image is the result of the same instrument in real-time, and the condition output in blue is exactly the same setting condition, but why only 5 instruments are output?
I set the light blue condition to the case where the high of the day exceeds the high of the previous day by the opening price. In that case, 7280, 6338, 2120, and 3966 instruments were output.
However, why was the alert log not output for the 5803 and 7140 instruments, regardless of whether I set the condition to blue or light blue?

So what I want to achieve is that just as I was alerted to all instruments that achieved the condition when I did the reload Ninja Script manually, I want them to automatically receive an alert as well when the condition is achieved in real time.

Hello ラリー,

Thank you for that information.

I would like to further clarify the following information that was requested. I mentioned, "If you have an idea of the type of alert you would like to configure, please provide a description and we would be glad to provide a screenshot demonstrating how to achieve the alert configuration if possible." Your response was, "I set the light blue condition to the case where the high of the day exceeds the high of the previous day by the opening price."

By checking if the high of the day exceeds the high of the previous day by the opening price, do you mean that you want to check if the current day's open price is higher than the previous day's high price? If not, please clarify and/or provide an example of what condition you are checking for. Once that is clear, I would be glad to provide an example for you to test out, and then you may change the colors as desired.

I look forward to your reply.

Thank you for your reply.

I want to have an alert log output on instruments where the high of the day meets the high of the previous day.

The attached image here is configured so that both OHL and OHLC plots are set to high for comparison and the alert log is output when that condition is met.
However, there are cases where it does not sound.
