Updates

What is new and improved in Indicalert, newest first.

Improved

Indicator lines are named in words

The pickers in the alert builder now describe each line of an indicator in plain words, group them, and warn about easy mix-ups.

Improved

Alerts that cannot mean what you meant are refused

Saving an alert whose condition is always true, can never be true, or is unfinished now stops with an explanation instead of creating an alert that would misfire or never fire.

New

Templates in the alert builder

The Quick start list is replaced by a Templates panel. Start from your own saved alerts or from community presets, then adjust.

New

OR, NOT and "within N candles" in alert conditions

Conditions are no longer limited to "all of these at once".

  • Group conditions with OR, so the alert fires when any one of them holds.
  • Use NOT to require that something is not the case.
  • Use within N candles or N candles ago when events do not have to happen on the same candle.
New

Price alerts have their own allowance

Single price-level alerts now count against a separate allowance, so they no longer use up the alerts you want for indicator conditions.

New

News and economic events on the chart

News items and past economic events are marked on the chart as vertical lines, so you can see what was happening when price moved.
