Why did this alert not trigger?

10-03-2019, 09:34 AM

I cannot see what I did wrong here.
No email, no pop up and no sound.
Is there something obvious I am missing?

Hello Grantx,

Thanks for posting.

What most likely happened is that the price moved past 2877 and 2880 without ever resting at either of these prices. This may occur when there are a high volume of trades taking place. In this case, I recommend using a 'Cross above' condition rather than an 'Equals' condition. This should ensure that the alert gets triggered if the price crosses above the specified price.

Below I have provided a link with more information about Alerts in NinjaTrader 8:

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