Market Analyzer - Alerts only when the bar close

[JustinCross]

Hi,

I have set up an alert and used "Rearm type: On bar close" for my market analyzer. But it triggers anytime the condition matches still.

Is there anyway to get around this? Basically I want it to wait until the next bar and then run through the tickers and alert me if my conditions are met within the previous candle.

Hello JustinCross,

Thank you for your post.

The Market Analyzer updates each tick and does not natively have a concept of bars. To set an alert based on bars, set up a chart with your desired bar type, right click on the chart, select Alerts and set your alert that way.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

I think I just created my first indicator that does what I need. Trying to test it now.
