Check condition of the Trend Indicator

[cruisertrader]

Hi,

Is it possible to create an alert based on the condition or value of the trend indicator?

Hello Marc,

Yes, please enable the 'Alert on break' setting in the Indicator menu for the Trend lines indicator to create an alert. Once the market crosses the trend line, it will generate an alert.

Thanks I have a follow-up question. How do I use the Trend Line Indicator to check the up or down direction of the drawn trend line? I tried checking the data box values, the current trend line values are not decreasing in the case of the downward drawn trend line until after a few bars. Even though the trend line is drawn back at the beginning of the trend.
