Assigning an alert to a specific instrument

[burtoninlondon]

Hi,

Is it possible to set an alert for a condition related to a specific instrument?

I am able to set alerts but as soon as I change the instrument on the chart window I get a warning message saying "You have 1 alert(s) defined that will be removed unless moved to the new instrument. Would you like to move the alert(s) to the new instrument?"

I understand that I could have a chart window per instrument but I'd rather have a single chart window which I flick through multiple instruments.

Is it possible to associate the alert with the instrument not the chart window?

Thanks,

Neil

Hello burtoninlondon,

Currently there is not an option to assign an alert to a specific instrument.

Thanks NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ.

Do you know if this is planned to be introduced in a future release?

I have submitted your suggestion to our development team and will follow up as soon as a tracking number has been assigned.

You could develop an indicator for this. Checks the instrument name and draw the hardcoded level and setup an alert?
