im new to use das trader, after i follow all the instruction in part 1 , i get a msg "please open Tools->Alert window before adding alert from chart" is that right
anyway there are other techniques for alerts described in later articles or send me a PM on what you looking for and i will direct you to the specific post
Regarding the hotkey 'The hotkey to load predefined chart layout setting', unfortunately it includes a symbol in the setting at the moment. Is there a way to load the chart settings on an existing chart, without changing the symbol?
So, just to clarify, once you change the settings described above, you should go to 'Setup', 'Hotkey/Script', 'Hotkey'. Then at the bottom select 'Add New Item'. Then if I want to add an alert on the chart I would enter a name then the script

does it work if you open the alert window as instructed or not?

mine does not do that what version of das do you use?
It is working now :) I was trying it earlier in replay mode, maybe that caused the issue. I am running version 5.8.0.6 x64
oh yes, none of the scripts are expected to work in replay mode as replay mode is missing a ton of data
No more alert hotkeys with advanced hotkeys 😓
I reached DAS support and they said there is nothing to do about that, appart from unchecking advanced hotkey.
If anyone has a workaround, please share.
you just need to name your chart window like MY1MIN then use the FOCUSWINDOW function and they work.
FOCUSWINDOW MY1MIN;
Alertname="PriceReached";AlertType="LastPrice";AlertOperator="<=";AddAlert
Brilliant it works !
Thanks a lot
to be honest the syntax has changed meanwhile so i need to edit the hotkey but yes that is the way it used to work.

Alertname=PriceReached;AlertType=LastPricelAlertOperator=”<=”;AddAlert
and assign the Hotkey?
Do I then just click on the chart and press the hotkey to trigger the alert?
I know it's a super basic question but I feel like I'm fumbling my way through this.
