Alerts not working

Hi to everybody!

I am trying to include the alerts in my strategy but they don't work.
I want the alert to show up when a buy or sell order is generated by my strategy.

For example if I write:

if dayofweek(date)=1 then begin
buy("test buy") next bar at h+.01 stop;
alert("test buy");
end;

and I plot the signal on a 1 minute chart, then the alert shows up at the open of every bar.

In the properties window I checked "every tick" under "alert condition check".

Can anybody help me???

Thanks in advance!

Hello Ravtrader,

If you use IOG for your signal, then the script is calculated on every tick in real-time; if not, then it is calculated at closes of each 1 minute bar.
Condition for alerting is met on every 1 minute bar within the same date. So you should better apply this script to 1 day data series.
