Ankur_Sinha · June 25, 2018, 10:25am

I tried adding an alert on Sentinel for SBI but it did not work can you please explain what I am doing wrong ?

ClosePrice(‘NSE:SBIN’) > 270

I should get an alert when SBI day closes above 270

Hi @Ankur_Sinha,

Since its a simple alert based on LTP, you don’t have to use the operations. Refer this GIF for setting the same alert.

If I create an alert like this : ClosePrice(‘NSE:SBIN’) > 285
I should get an alert after the market closes if SBI price closes above 285 but I am not receiving this alert
Can someone help me ?

Ankur, when did you create this alert?

Ankur_Sinha · June 20, 2018, 11:21am

I created few days back but this is just an example i created for other stocks also none of them worked

Bhuvan · June 20, 2018, 11:24am

SBIN has never closed above 285 since 13th. Let me know the triggers you had created and I can check.

yesterday i had setup this alert but no alert generated :(ClosePrice(‘NSE:BATAINDIA’)> 840)

Bhuvan · June 21, 2018, 7:59am

You don’t have use brackets. Just create a simple alert to use this as an advanced alert
ClosePrice('NSE:BATAINDIA') > 840

Ankur_Sinha · June 21, 2018, 10:21am

I tried that also but it did not work that’s why I placed bracket on the outside
Both did not work for me.

Bhuvan · June 21, 2018, 10:49am

BTW, Bata didn’t close above 840.

Ankur_Sinha · June 21, 2018, 11:56am

It did close above 840 yesterday , pls see the pic

Bhuvan · June 21, 2018, 12:04pm

But if you had created an alert with the brackets, your alerts wouldn’t have triggered. Create them again and let me know if you still aren’t getting alerts.

I should get an alert when SBI day closes above 270 but no alert

Bhuvan · June 25, 2018, 2:35pm

SBI didn’t close above 270

Ankur_Sinha · June 25, 2018, 5:09pm

I am not looking for alert more than a number during the mkt open, i need the alert once the market closes, ClosePrice is the function for that kind of alert

Ankur_Sinha · June 25, 2018, 5:11pm

I have just given an example from previous days when it closed above 270, can you please try this tommorrow , it doenot work for me even if SBI would have closed above 270 today

Bhuvan · June 26, 2018, 3:17pm

BTW Ankur, the close price function considers the previous day’s close price. So if you are creating an alert
ClosePrice('NSE:SBIN')> 270 then you will get an alert whenever the previous day’s close of SBIN is more than 270. We are also working on having a current close function.

Ankur_Sinha · June 27, 2018, 2:24pm

what do you mean by previous day close price ? if the time now is 8 pm on 27th June , then previous close will be close price for 27th June or 26th June ?
How does it even make sense to put an alert for close of 26th June why someone will setup that alert which has already passed away ? ideally it should be close for 27th June

podderdipak · June 28, 2018, 12:52pm

Hi ankur look like you are still confused .
Can you repeat your question again please

Ankur_Sinha · June 29, 2018, 10:43am

Lets take an example :
Suppose on 29th June at 3 pm I have setup an alert:- ClosePrice(‘NSE:SBIN’) >258 and SBIN closed on 29th June at 259.35

Am I suppose to get an alert on 29th June after market close as SBIN closed above 258 ?
