Alerts NOT RealTime with HeikenAshi Bars!

GraHal · Fri, 11 Apr 2025 09:03:24 +0000

Please could somebody confirm this … with Platform set to Heiken-Ashi Bars, an Alert does not sound realtime, but instead the Alert sounds 1 bar late, i.e. the next bar after the Alert Price Level is hit! Of course this is useless if one is using Alerts on manual trading (as I do), Setting an Alert on a 5 min Heiken-Ashi Bar for a price level to be crossed, means that it may be – at worst – 5 minutes later when we hear the Alert. Works okay with Platform set to normal Candlesticks (i.e. NOT HeikenAshi). Very weird Issue … one would think that Alert Sound should have nothing to do with whatever Bars one is using … the Alerts should trigger on the mid price. So if somebody could confirm above please … in case the Tariff jitters have sent me mad! 😉 Try on 1 min TF with Alerts set close to price so that you are not waiting too long.

Okay so the video on the link below – with Heiken-Ashi Candles – shows the Bell icon and Audible Alert appear on the same candle on which the Alert is triggered.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by that…
The alert is triggered by the price of the current Heikin-Ashi bar…

I slept on it and woke with (hopefully) a work-around solution … I will add a second Price Indicator (shows as Price 1) and configure as a Line.

I will, when using Heiken-Ashi candles, set Alerts to trigger on Price 1 – the IG mid-quote price.

Thank you JS for your patience, it never occured to me that the Alert ‘Price’ using H-Ashi candles is the H-Ashi candle mid-price.
