How to send an email alert when Exponential Moving Average of 1 and 5 Crosses


0

I have a very simple strategy where I enter the trade when Exponential Moving Average of 1 bar crosses over 5 bars in 2 minute interval. I sell when the same happens on the other side.

Can someone help me set up an Alert Email when my chart shows to enter the trade and also when it shows to exit the trade.

As I am working during the day this email will help me look at the chart and enter the trade manually and exit the trade manually.

Thanks

In order to get email/text alerts you will not be able to use a chart based study. You have two options to use. One is the Study Alert, demonstrated in the screen shots below. The other is to build and save a Custom Scan and then use that scan to build your alerts. The Study Alert has to be applied to individual ticker symbols. The Custom Scan can be applied to a list of ticker symbols.

We have a video that demonstrates each of these.

For the Study Alerts: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-alert-ichimoku/

For the Custom Scan Alerts: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-overnight-range-scan-alert/

It is very important to note that if you are not familiar with any of the terms I’ve used up to this point you really need to watch these two videos to get up to speed. Otherwise these screenshots are not going to mean anything at all.

So there is no code writing required to meet this specification. We build this in just a few clicks of the mouse using the Condition wizard. This method will work for either the Study Alert of the Custom Scan Alert. Here are the screenshots showing how to set this up. Once again I will repeat, if you don’t watch these two videos you are going to miss some very important details on how to implement this.
