<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: HotmailDrawings are intended to work with symbol data and they react to price changes.com e-mail service is not supportedSo alerts can be triggered only by the drawings applied to symbols. Drawings applied to indicators won’t give any alerts as long as indicators don't have prices, but only plots, so drawings can never cross a price and therefore no alerts will be triggered when drawings cross indicator plots. </div>
