How can I configure an alert off an indicator?

[Newtrader101]

I would like to setup an alert to Triger if an indicator crosses a line on my chat. Below are my settings, but I am not able to get this to work. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello Newtrader101,

Thank you for the message.

You might want to begin by changing the "Calculate" setting of the Stochastics Indicator to be set to "On Price Change" so that it updates any time the price changes:

• Right-click on the chart > Click Indicators > Select the Stochastics Indicator > Switch the Calculate setting to "On price change" > Click OK

From there, your Alert appears to be set up in a way that would trigger.

• When setting up the Condition for the Stochastics indicator, you are able to select if it is based on the D or K period. Make sure it is set as you expect

Finally, the Rearm Type is set to Never. So, once the Alert goes off once, it will never go off again.

• You could set this to Timer, On bar close, or On condition reversed if you want it to be able to go off again once initially triggered.

Thank you. I did not see the setting for D or K, so once I adjusted that, it works fine.
One additional question, can I save my alert to use on other charts? I did not see that option available.

Hello Newtrader101,

Thank you for the update.

Unfortunately, there is no way to save an Alert preset or template at this time due to the unique settings of each chart window.

So, you would just have to recreate your desired Alerts on the various windows.
