pop-up text alert in strategy

Postby kernel » 05 Jan 2016

Hi,

I'd like to use pop-up text alert message in my strategy. The strategy is in a dozen charts of different instruments.

The "Alert" reserved word cannot be used in a strategy. The "commentary" doesn't seems to fit either, since you have to click on the particular chart to see if there's any text output from that chart.

Anything else? thanks.

Which MultiCharts version do you use? I'm asking because there's a whole strategy alerts wiki page, so it would be surprising if `Alert()` doesn't work (anymore) in trading strategies.

Josh,

It reads "Note: The Alert reserved word cannot be used in a strategy." in my old EL documentation, so I just took the words w/o testing. My mistake, sorry. Seems MC improved this in later versions. Thank you Josh for reminding.
