Conditionally Activated Alert In Pine-Script Tradingview Strategy

Question

Is it possible to use an "ON/OFF" boolean input like

AlertsOnOff = input (title="Alerts ON/OFF", type=input.bool, defval=false)

To conditionally have alert like

alert("This is an Alert Message", alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)

activated or de-activated(default) in a Tradingview strategy

Answer 1

Yes. See here in their blog post about alerts with dynamic messages.

It details that it is appropriate to use different alerts within if blocks. So you could easily do

AlertsOnOff = input (title="Alerts ON/OFF", type=input.bool, defval=false)

if AlertsOnOff
    alert("This is an Alert Message", alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
