Customize Study - Alerts
The Alerts tab allows you to customize alert settings for a single cell, a group of cells within an indicator column, or for an entire studies column. Alert criteria can be modified using the Customize Study - Inputs dialog. When customizing alerts, you can choose to use the global messaging preferences set up in the Message Center or you can configure custom settings for each type of alert. All alerts are sent to the Message Center.

Message Center Notification Settings 
Contains notification settings for the Message Center when using alerts.
- None (for use when scanning for alerts in RadarScreen) - Select this setting to skip message notification while still sending the alert to the Message Center. Alert markers may still be displayed next to the symbol name in the Chart or RadarScreen window if enabled for the window. If you are using RadarScreen, see Editing Alerts and Messages for more information.
- Use the global messaging preferences - Select this setting to use the global Message Center notification settings.
- Configure - Launches the Notification Preferences dialog to set up your global messaging preferences. For more information see Notifications Preferences dialog.
- Use custom settings - Select this setting to choose custom notification settings for the selected study. Note: Custom settings allow for e-mail notifications to be sent. However, only a single e-mail address may be configured across all charts for a given EasyLanguage study. For example, if you configure the Message Center Notification preferences for the built-in RSI indicator to send a message to an e-mail address, that e-mail address will be used across all charts or RadarScreen that use the RSI indicator with custom e-mail alerts. In other words, a given indicator (e.g., RSI) can have only one e-mail address used for custom alerts.
Default - Sets any changes that you made as your default setting.
Edit EasyLanguage - Launches the TradeStation Development Environment. If disabled, the option to edit the study in the TradeStation Development Environment is not available.
