Thank you so much Pete for sharing your knowledge I have made a contribution and I’ll continue sending contributions as you help me with my many questions! I asked this question yesterday “How do I add my custom indicators to the MarketWatch/StudyAlert/thinkscript editor, not seting alerts on the indicator itself. My custom indicators show up under the condition wizard but then it popes up error (rec usage is not allowed in this context) or (Error processing referenced script XXX: No such function: XXX at 1:1 Expected double at 1:14)” and I had a follow up question but I could not figure out to add t under the same question when I added it to a comment it only showed some of the text. The info you provided me was great, now that I know I need to paste the entire custom indicators into the MarketWatch/StudyAlert/thinkscript editor, I can’t seem to set any alerts on the indicator, I need this indicator “plot MYBUYSIG= close>close[1] and close[1]<close[2] and close[2]<close[3] and close[3]<close[4]and close[4]<close[5] and close[5]<close[6]and close[6]<close[7] and close[7]<close[8] and close[8]<close[9]; MYBUYSIG.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN); MYBUYSIG.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(10)); MYBUYSIG.SetLineWeight(1);” to make an alert every time “MYBUYSIG” is true, typically I would just use something like this “ADXCrossover() is true” since I can’t use custom indicators in this MarketWatch/StudyAlert/thinkscript editor, I don’t know how to change my code around to do this PS: The reason I need this to work in MarketWatch/StudyAlert/thinkscript editor, I need to alerts to send me an email/text, the alert under the study indicators do not send emails/texts Thank you so much for your time and help!

You don’t need to do anything at all. Just make sure the “Trigger if:” input is set to true. See screenshot below for details. The spike in the lower subgraph shows one of your signals. Regarding text/email alerts. There is an alternative to the Study Alert. You can build and save a custom scan and create a dynamic alert from that. In this case recursion will be permitted in your code. I demonstrate how to do this at the 29:50 mark of the following video: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-overnight-range-scan-alert/ Attachments:
