Returns True if the alerts have been turned on in Formatting Studies > Alerts.
True/False is returned on the last bar only.
For the bars other than the last False is always returned.
==== Usage ====
<syntaxhighlight>
CheckAlert
</syntaxhighlight>
==== Notes ====
* There is a difference between AlertEnabled and CheckAlert. AlertEnabled checks the status on all the bars while CheckAlert does so for the last bar only.
* Alerts are only generated for the last bar.
==== Example ====
The example below shows how CheckAlert can help eliminate redundant calculations on historic bars as well as in cases when alerts are not turned on:
<syntaxhighlight>
If CheckAlert Then Begin
If Volume >= 2 * Average(Volume, 10) Then Alert ("Volume is going up");
End;
</syntaxhighlight>
