Description

Visual alert when triggered displays a message stating the source and condition,  but description is faint that it is often difficult to distinguish the true source.  ie Exponential moving average is turning down  (which one?)  see image attached
Including the input string in the message would solve this problem.

Steps to reproduce this issue

see image
Example shows alerts for 3 different moving averages that have been triggered. Note it is impossible to distinguish between them.

I don't see any attached image...

Just a suggestion, if you open an "order and position tracker" window, there is an "alerts" tab. In that tab you can toggle on/off columns that have a lot of information about the source and payload of an alert. I know it's not what you asked for, but perhaps this can help you in the meantime.
