Using Placeholders With Confirmation/Contrarian Alerts
When creating an alert using 'Any Confirmation' or 'Any Contrarian' it is possible to use placeholders so that the alert message returns the type of signal that triggered the alert.
In order to do so, paste the following line in the message field:
Bullish : {{plot("Bullish")}} | Bearish : {{plot("Bearish")}} | Bullish+: {{plot("Bullish+")}} | Bearish+ : {{plot("Bearish+")}}
Any Alert() Function Call
The any alert() function call alert condition allows to create one alert using various conditions, this allows to bypass the limit of one alert for free users as well as making the process of updating many alerts faster and easier.
In order to create such alert go to the indicator settings, and scroll down to the 'ANY ALERT() FUNCTION CALL CONDITIONS' section.
Toggle on the conditions of interest. Now create a new alert, in the first Condition drop-down menu select the LuxAlgo Premium indicator, in the second drop-down menu select Any alert() function call, you can then create the alert.
info
This alert would use once per bar close by default.
info
All in one alerts do not differ from regular alerts, they will be using the same indicator settings as the one used during their creation. Note however that you cannot set a custom message for all in one alerts, the message displayed when the selected conditions trigger will be the same as the one used in the same individual alert conditions.
Message As JSON
Users can toggle Message As Json for the message of an alert to be in a JSON format, the message would be as follows:
{"alert","ticker","tf","ohlcv":{"open","high","low","close","volume"},"bartime":{8}"}
Note that "bartime" refers to the current bar time in UNIX format.
Updating Alerts Using Any Alert() Function Call
If you already set an any alert() function call alert and want to change the indicator settings or want to toggle on another condition all you need to do is edit the alert you want to update, select the second instance of the indicator in the first Condition drop-down menu and then click on save.
Custom Alert Creator
Users wishing to construct more complex alerts using features within the toolkit and/or external indicators can use the Custom Alert Creator.
The custom alert creator allows alerting when various user set conditions are met or when a sequence of conditions is complete.
example
A user wishing to be alerted when any bullish signal occur while the smart trail is bullish could do it as follows:
A custom alert can be triggered as an any alert() function call if the setting is selected or as a regular alert when selected in the Tradingview alert creator menu.
Steps
Steps allows creating sequence of conditions, which when met trigger an alert. When a condition with a step equal to 1 is met the next condition associated with step 2 will be evaluated (if enabled) and so on for higher steps (if any).
Conditions with a same associated step will require for both condition to be true in order for the condition associated to a higher step (if any) to be evaluated. This allows certain conditions to act as filters.
example
A user wishing to be alerted for any bullish confirmation signal classified as 1 or 2 by the AI classifier occur after the smart trail turned bullish could do it as follows:
Make sure the AI Classifier is enabled.
warning
Make sure steps are set such that they form a linear sequence. For example if the lowest step is 2 or if the set steps are only 1 and 3 an error will be returned.
OR Step Operator
The "OR" step operator can be used to get alerted for any additional condition using "OR" as step, in addition to other set custom alert conditions.
Conditions using the "OR" step can be highlighted using a different color, which can be set from the Custom Alert Creator settings.
Highlight Custom Alert Triggers
When a custom alert condition is set, a visual element is displayed at the bottom of the chart in order to more easily visualize when the custom alert conditions occurs (displayed by default).
