Time Based Alerts

[v101 10]

i have a TS indicator that I have made up, and it has an alert that will trigger if certain criteria is met, What I would like to do,:confused:

 

Is to be able to have it set so that instead of running the same indicator 2 times, and set the value for a different number, I would like it so that if the market is in say off hrs trading, it will alert based on the off-hrs value which will be based on certain time of day,

then the indicator will alert based off the other time of day say on-hrs, and this will alert based on the other value.

 

If anyone has any examples of this, and using 2 different alerts, with different time of days, I would be greatful

more thinking on this, I was thinking of 2 different input times

say

END_DAY (1700), \\END OF DAY 1700 (5PM)

DAY_SESSION (0700),\\ day session (7AM)

DAY_SESSION_ALERT (10), \\ value for day session

NIGHT_SESSION_ALERT (2); \\value for night session

 

If TIME > DAY_SESSION ??

then begin

if valuex > DAY_SESSION_ALERT than alert

 

if time > Night_session

then begin

if valuex > NIGHT_SESSION_ALERT than alert

 

Again not sure on this, but here is an idea I am going to test out.

Best I can do without knowing how you define value1.

 

I used crosses above rather than greater than so it won't continue to alert on every bar but there are various other ways of achieving various results and they all depend on the specific circumstances of what you're doing ......but this is a template to help you begin your search.

 

input: dSess(700), nSess(1700), dThreshold(10), nThreshold(2);

if value1=100 then value1=1 else value1=value1+1;

if t>dSess and t<=nSess then begin
   if value1 crosses above dThreshold then alert("value1 crossed above dThresh");
end else if t>nSess or t<=dSess then begin
   if value1 crosses above nThreshold then alert("value1 crossed above nThresh");
end;

this will help me out, I think I can use this as the example and modify my indicator to do this
