Hello.

How can I get the alert to trigger if, for example, price of 15min candle close below 3SMA, 13, 20,50?

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Are you looking to set up alerts on a chart via the alerts window, or are you looking to use Alert() programmatically in a NinjaScript file such as an indicator or strategy script? I look forward to your clarification; depending on your answer I will move your post to its own thread in the appropriate topic.

I look forward to your reply.

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your reply.

I have created the thread "Market Analyzer Alerts" in the Platform Technical Support section of the forum. That said, the market analyzer does not work with candles in the same way as a chart does. Your request to get an alert when the "price of 15min candle close below 3SMA, 13, 20,50" is not exactly possible in the Market Analyzer. It does not track data in a series where it would have a price for every 15 minutes; it displays instrument data in real time. You could certainly create columns for EMA with different periods on a 15-minute data series, and then you could set up alerts that check if the last price is less than the EMA value. You could even set up the alerts to rearm "On Bar Close" which would reset the conditions every 15 minutes from the data series used to calculate the EMA. Below are links to screenshot examples of an alert configured to check if the Last price is less than the 14-period EMA on 15-minute data. It is set to rearm on bar close, though that means that if at any point during the 15 minutes the last price goes below the EMA it will be triggered:

If you want to specifically compare only the close price from every 15 minute candle, this would likely require a custom market analyzer column in order to configure the alert as desired. This would be possible using a custom NinjaScript; if you have a programming background, we would be glad to provide you with resources and/or examples to help you create this type of market analyzer column. Otherwise, we could provide you with information on how to find a programmer to create the custom script for you.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
