Triggering Analyzer with Price and Keltner

[Kylep19]

I would like to set up the market analyzer to trigger an alert whenever price crosses an upper or lower Keltner band, within a list of instruments. It seems like I could set such an alert from a chart, but that would only apply to one instrument. Could also set up such an alert in the market analyzer for when a Keltner band crosses a specified numerical value. The piece I'm not finding, is how to relate the price to the Keltner bands themselves.
I have searched the forums, for a solution and experimented with the analyzer prior to posting, with no luck.

-Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Kyle P.

Hi Kyle, thanks for posting.

You must have the Keltner Channel indicator set up as a column in your market analyzer (Columns>Indicator), select the Upper or Lower plot if you want to compare price to these bands e.g.

After adding that indicator column you can use it in an Alert e.g. Close cross above Keltner Upper band:

Thank you so much! I knew I was missing something simple. I am, in fact, using the Keltner channel as a column. I set up two, for the upper and lower bands. Are there other ways to achieve the same results?
This is my first attempt at using the analyzer.

Ok, up and running Chris. Now, is there a way to give a visual que to the analyzer itself?

Hi Kyle, thanks for your reply.

You must have 2 alerts for upper and lower. You can set up cell conditions in the Indicator column but it is limited to evaluating a static number that you define. There's a work around described here with an example (requires scripting):
