Hi!

I need help with variable periods in alert function.

This is what I would like to do, but it won't let me use a variable to set the number of periods in Alert().

periods:=if(DX(10)<20,8,if(DX(10)<30,5,3));

alert((L<ref( LLV(L ,3),-1)),periods)

Cheers,
Darek

Hi Darek,

Would this formula work okay or is it a bit cumbersome?

If(DX(10)<20,Alert((L<Ref(LLV(L,3),-1)),8),
If(DX(10)<30,Alert((L<Ref(LLV(L,3),-1)),5),
Alert((L<Ref(LLV(L,3),-1)),3)));

Cheers,

thanks, it's working but that was only an example,

the thing is I would like to find function which let me use a variable to set the number of periods in Alert(). Maybe, I'm looking for .dll ?

Regards,

Darek

yes - I'd like to use variable periods in alert too. I have asked for this in the Metastock wish list.

perhaps you could express your support for this in the Wish List as a new function in the next release.
