everything seems fine. thanks a lot for your help.. and this great indicator.

Appreciate your help a lot. i have tried the Test script above and the alert was good. I also tried re-installing my cTrader, but I don't know if that helped. WIll test with my indicator again once the market is live and will let you know. Have a great weekend! Bless you!

yes I did reference it to ControlzEX.dll. It is still having the same error message in logs.

I could not find the alerts CSV file you mentioned. am I not checking the correct folder? I tried searching the whole folder but no file was found.

thanks for your patience.

Hi, apologies. I tried the above again using .Algo, but I still got the blank screen. The build succeeded though.

Hi. I tested it on your Test script as above, and there was an error upon building it. Thank you so much.

Error CS0117: 'Alert.Factory' does not contain a definition for 'Indicator'

it has the same error in live conditions. appreciate your help/input on how I can solve this.

here is a sample message, although i am unsure if it was different when the market was live. thank you for looking into it.

thank you. I have been using the alert for few weeks now but suddenly the alert turned blank. the window comes out but there is no data coming out. i have tried it with the Alert test indicator as well, but it is still the same. any suggestions? Appreciate your help.

hi @afhacker, can you help? is there a way for this alert to appear only once per candle? some command that is native only to the Alert namespace? sort of a newbie in coding here.. i used it to alert on a higher timeframe but it keeps on triggering endlessly if the candle is not done yet. many many thanks.
