alerts can be reactivated by checking box for “auto reactivate”. once selected, you also have an option for the alert to trigger only once per bar.
the alert actions menu allows you to enable notifications (i.e. pop-up, play sound, e-mail), and create a cutomized message for the alert notification. pop-up alerts appear in the bottom right hand corner of the application.
every study will have its own set of alert settings. for example, the relative strength index will show the following alert settings.

The Moving Average study also has the option to set an alert based on greater and less than values, when the price crosses the Moving Average, as well as an Alert Area based on the minimum tick value:
Alert when study is greater than: Set value for the Moving Average to trigger an alert when it exceeds the set value.
Alert when study is less than: Set value for the Moving Average to trigger an alert when it is less than the set value.
Alert when price price crosses study line: Triggers alert when crosses the Moving Average.
Alert Area: Is active when you any of the checkboxes above. Check "Enter the number of Min Ticks to trigger the alert when the price falls within the proximity of the alert price. For stocks the min tick is .01. If you set the min tick to 4, for example, then the alert will trigger when the price falls within the proximity (.01 X 4 = .04) of the alert price.
