Trigger alert on breakout

[minimtitor]

Hello NinjaTrader,
Is there any way we can trigger alerts, only when a candle was fully close outside a trend line (breakout confirmation)?

Hello minimtitor,

You can configure alerts in the NinjaTrader platform using the instructions and video at the link below.

Am I correct you refer to the OHLC of a price bar - it needs to be completely above/below the trend line? You can configure multiple conditions per alert. So you can add 4 conditions for the alert - one for each price type (Open, High, Low and Close) and then compare it to the trend line.

Thank you,
However we need those conditions to trigger after the candle was closed.
Is there any way we can do that?

If you set 'Bars ago' to value of 1, does it trigger the alert as you like?
