this seems to be a similar problem to what i am seeing (albeit with alert
function itself triggering alerts multiple times). Aron suggested i use
something like..
sent = Nz(StaticVarGet("Sent"));
if ( NOT sent)
{
AlertIf( Buy, "EMAIL", "+1 ES- Go long on System-1 5min", 1, 15);
StaticVarSet("Sent", 1);
}
Not sure if it works since i need to test it when i get back home.
You refer to you using alertif function for something else; so is it not
creating multiple alerts for you? what is the format in which you are using it?
