Any study/indicator with rec usage you can't use under MarketWatch/Alert or by right clicking the chart for alert. You have to create a study and add an alert to the study, but this wont send email/test, only play sound and show in message box. What conditions were you wanting for the alert to sound? I can create you one study then you can use it as a temple to make alerts on any other rec usage study that MarketWatch wont let you thats what I do.

I wanted an alert for every time there was a 9 on ToS SequenceCounter for either daily, weekly or monthly time frame. Not sure how hard that would be but if you have a template that would be great.

I have created ThinkOrSwim indicators before but never with an alert.

The sequence counter provided on ToS is close to correct, but unfortunately not usable consistent with its original design.

I'm assuming with the default SequenceCounter settings. Just click edit studies then under studies click create... and just paste this in. One of the down sides to this method is in order for the alert to work you have to have a chart with this study on and it only works for the one symbol on the chart. So I open and detach a chart/w 38 symbols and add my alerts to them. Ill work with any time frame.

declare upper;

def buy= SequenceCounter();
def sell= SequenceCounter()."Sell Formation";

def xSELL=sell==9;
def xBUY =buy==9;

Alert(xSELL,"SELL Seq=9",Alert.BAR,Sound.Chimes);
Alert(xBUY,"BUY Seq =9",Alert.BAR,Sound.Chimes);
