Alert() Source

[JerryWar]

Is it possible to further specify the source to the Individual Script generating the alert. I use a generic Set of messages throughout my charts and really don't want to start altering messages to specify which instance on which chart in what workspace. But it would be nice if I could set the source to this. Is this possible ?

Why don't you include the chart, the indicator name, your settings or whatever you want in your alert messages. One look at the message and you see everything you want to know.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

There is no specific "source" I am aware of that contains all this information, the easiest way would be as eDanny noted or to use a more specific message for the Alerts text. You could still utilize the generic message you have, but append the selected instrument to that text as an example.

If you have many charts, you could even go as far as generating a unique ID in the script at its start and display this on the chart. You could then append that ID to the message of the alert to ID the charts with alerts. Really any system you think of could work, mainly you would need to create the logic that creates that situation.



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