How to set up alerts on indicator symbols?

[drewski1980]

Hello. I have an indicator that I purchased and I'm wondering if I can set alerts, which isn't something built into the indicator. I attached an image of the buy and sell signal dots that are added onto the chart. Is it possible to set up an alert? I'm using the free version of NT and have a NT brokerage account, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for your post.

Alerts can be created using conditions which monitor chart objects (data series, indicators, drawing tools) which exist on the chart.

If you have an indicator configured on an existing chart you wish to use in your alert condition, you can easily access this by first left mouse clicking on the indicator plot to select the indicator, and then selecting Alert. Doing so will automatically add the selected indicator as an object that is used in the Conditions properties.
