Alert is a visual or/audio/e-mail notification triggered when the market conditions meet the criteria specified in the study. Audio/visual/e-mail alerts can be enabled simultaneously.
<div style="background-color: #98FB98;">Alerts can only be triggered in studies containing [[Alert]] Triggering Conditions in their code. To learn how to add alerts to studies’ code refer to the PowerLanguage manual.</div>
A check for the alert triggering conditions is performed whenever one of the following events occurs:

Follow the instructions to generate the app password and insert it in the '''Password''' field in the '''Using''' section.<br/div>
