Condition selection & quaternary (left/right)

[m4ybee]

On one of my indicators to obtain the correct alert i need to select the Pair in the condition section, not the indicator name. The indicator is selected in the tertiary & quaternary sections.

A couple of questions:

1) Can i select the pair in condition section even though it changes dynamically with each alert created (as per the CSV pair list file) when the tool is run? Is it even possible or can the config.yml file be setup to just select the drop down position in condition not the pair name which in my case would be 1? Unfortunately the default sets to indicator name .

2) Can i edit the config.yml file to have a quaternary left / right ? As you can see in the screenshot i wish to alert entering a channel which needs Upper and Lower bounds

Condition: Pair (current - position 1) Secondary: Entering Channel Tertiary: Left = Indicator Right = Indicator Quaternary: Left = Indicator Right = Indicator

Thanks for your help and btw awesome job.

Hi again - pointing out a couple flaws I didn't realize..

1) Can you help me understand more why you need to select a particular position? That would be a tad brittle. Otherwise, I could modify the tool so each condition can have dynamic placeholders.. For example, consider the following where {{symbol}} would be replaced with "MATICUSDTPERP" from the .csv file:

alert:
  condition:
    primaryLeft: "{{symbol}}"
    primaryRight: Volume
    secondary: Crossing
    tertiaryLeft: "BitMEX Funding and Premium Index"
    tertiaryRight: Funding Rate

2) I had no idea that there could be even more inputs...gonna have go back to the drawing board here and work on a solution...maybe I could create a quick "quaternary" solution, but now that starts to sounds weirder than "tertiary"

Hi there,

1) the reason for selecting a particular position is because the condition has a drop down and shows the pair and indicators. For my particular case i need to chose the pair which is in the first position (blacked out ones are indicator names). Your suggestion i think could work.

2) Yeah quaternary does sound weird.. was going for consistency lol. I don't have experience in programming these things but if its not too hard a quick 4th option would be good.

So it turns out you can actually just leave "primaryLeft" blank and the script skips over it..

was able to add "quaternary" left and right (will never remember how to spell that!)

Grab the update (from your alerts-home directory):

tradingview-alerts-home $ npm install @alleyway/add-tradingview-alerts-tool@1.8.0

make your config look something like this:

alert:
  condition:
    primaryLeft:
    primaryRight:
    secondary: Entering Channel
    tertiaryLeft: Value
    tertiaryRight: 5000
    quaternaryLeft: Value
    quaternaryRight: 4000

Legend! thanks for that. Shall i use the {{symbol}} syntax for the condition pair selection?

I'll give it a try and keep you posted.

no need for {{symbol}} just leave primaryLeft blank

gonna go ahead and assume everything's running fine..
