Alerts not triggering when conditions are met

[stafe]

just set up three alerts - none of which are functioning....


1st picture - alerts window
2nd picture - alert log window
3rd picture - chart with alerts attached - upper pointer to 2.2 stdv bollinger band (skyblue solidline) and lower pointer to 2.8 stdv bollinger band (skyblue dots)


forgot to add apict of the actual condition - 4th pict


5th pict - more recent alert log - still no alerts from NQ598Vol chart


i'm guessing i should uninstall then re-install NT8 ?

I've moved this post into its own thread as this is no longer the same symptoms are your original post.

Do these alerts function as you expect if you use the 'cross above/below' operator instead of 'greater/less equal'?

Instead of waiting for the real-time market to make the conditions true for your alert, I would recommend testing while connected to the simulated data feed. To use this feed, disconnect from all connections then connect to the 'Simulated data feed'.

Once using this connection, you'll notice that a 'trend slider' pops up on your screen. You can use this slider to trend the market up/down to cause alert conditions to become true.

doesn't work with either simulated feed or real feed...
shots from simulated data feed
on an "empty" workspace built with chart templates
VWAP is 3rd party and worked before 8.14.2 install
bollinger is yours and also worked before 8.14.2

bollinger shots


just noticed i had my bollinger allert set to current bar
it should be price/close less or equal 1 bar ago
but there are three bars that actually close below the indicator anyway




also forgot to mention i uninstalled 8.14.2 and went to 13.1 where my old workspace from 06/25 alerts worked


then in uninstalled 13.1 and re-installed 14.2 and the same workspace's alerts worked 06/25 but no others... including this fresh workspace built from chart templates


very very odd to say the least...
pardon the expletives and fist pounding....

Can you clarify which alerts are no longer working? I am investigating further in http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d.php?t=111004 the behavior Bruce is reporting where alert configurations are erased with no pop-up message or direct action.

Is this the same symptom that is occurring on your end? Which one of these describes your issue:

• The alerts have the same general, conditions and actions settings but no longer function
• The alerts are present in name only but have their general, conditions and actions changed or removed

If neither of those are accurate, could you elaborate further?

no function --- at all -- removed them - having major data lag problems now that are seemingly unresolvable on the same machine -- uninstalled NT8 and reinstalled it and still the same --- this was not happening Friday... something has been

Hello stafe,

Thank you for your patience.

To follow up on the alerts side of this matter you will need to change the 'If All' option on your alert to 'If Any'. Attached is an image to detail this further.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
